Your dog likely senses something has changed emotionally for you
Photo-Illustration: The Cut; Images: Getty Images If there can be a “winner” in our current global crisis, it might be our dogs. Often left home alone while we go out to work, or to socialize, or to run errands, they are now treated to our nonstop physical presence; the consistent shuffling of our besocked feet as we fill our homebound days, participating in the isolation that is absolutely necessary to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus, no matter what our president says.
Are they loving it, though? It’s hard to tell. They can’t talk out loud or even send us little text messages to let us know how they feel, but even so, I think my dog is happy with the change. At first, it seemed like the fact that I was always around, asking him things like “Why are you the cutest little man I’ve ever seen in my life, and how did you get to be that way?” interrupted the amount of sleep he was accustomed to getting.
“Dogs don’t know about pandemics or viruses,” Santos said , “but they definitely know that their routine has changed, and that you’re around the house more often.” But the good news is that she thinks they’re probably happy to have us around. “Dogs are very bonded with their owners and guardians, and thus they’re probably pretty stoked to have us around more often,” she said, noting that it’s also a boon for them that one of the only outdoor activities deemed safe to participate in is dog walking. The likely slower-paced, more leisurely walks are, I’m sure, a positive addition to their lives.
