As Pit Bull owners, we know how unique and misunderstood our lovely pets can be. Those adorable, expressive eyes, that wagging tail, and those endearing, floppy ears – they’re all part of a package that steals our hearts. But how can we be sure of their love for us? The good news is that our Pit Bulls wear their hearts on their paws. Here are five undeniable signs that your Pit Bull is head over paw in love with you.
1. Those Eyes Tell A Tale
When your Pit Bull looks into your eyes with an intense and soft gaze, it’s a sure sign of affection. It’s not just a casual glance. It’s a soulful look that seems to say, “You’re the center of my world.” Research has shown that mutual gazing between humans and their dogs releases oxytocin, a hormone associated with bonding and affection, in both parties. If your Pit Bull is locking eyes with you, it’s a strong indication they adore you.
2. A Tail That Can’t Be Tamed
Pit Bulls may have a reputation for toughness, but their tails are often a giveaway to their true feelings. When they see you, their tail will wag so hard it looks like it could take off like a helicopter! It’s a clear, undeniable sign of joy and affection. The intensity of the wagging signifies how much they’ve missed you, even if you’ve only been gone for a few minutes.
3. Leaning on You – Literally
One endearing trait unique to Pit Bulls is their tendency to lean on people they love. If your Pit Bull is constantly leaning against you or trying to sit in your lap (despite their size), they’re showing you affection. This “Pit Bull lean” is a sign of trust and a way for them to seek comfort and security from their favorite human.
4. “Pit Bull Smile”
Pit Bulls have an adorable way of expressing their happiness by showing what looks like a broad, goofy smile. If your Pit Bull often ‘smiles’ when you’re around, it’s their unique way of showing they’re relaxed, content, and thoroughly in love with you. It’s one of the most heartwarming things to witness.
5. They’re Your Shadow
If you often find your Pit Bull following you from room to room, it’s because they love your company and want to be involved in everything you do. They simply cannot bear to be apart from their beloved human. This breed is known for its loyalty, and your Pit Bull’s constant companionship is a sign of their profound bond with you.
Understanding these signs can deepen the connection between you and your Pit Bull. Remember, every Pit Bull is unique. They all have their special ways of expressing love, but these signs are common expressions of affection. Once you tune in to these signs, you’ll see just how much your Pit Bull loves and adores you. And the love you share will only grow stronger.
