Did you know…

Dogs can smell ______ left behind on clothes.

(scroll to the bottom to find the answer!)

You may not wear a cape or leap tall buildings, but to your dog, you’re a full-blown superhero. Every time you refill their bowl, chase off the vacuum, or show up with that calming voice, you’re saving the day in their eyes.

Research shows dogs use us like kids use their parents: as a “secure base” to explore the world. They’re more confident, more curious, and more at ease when we’re around. Whether it’s the sound of your voice or your daily routines, you’re their stability.

To them, you even seem to work magic. Meals appear on schedule, scary noises are soothed, and just being near you makes everything better. Your scent alone can calm them when you’re out of the house.

You may think you're just doing the basics, but to your dog, you’re the one who always shows up when it counts. Pretty super if you ask us!

There’s a reason you drop everything when your dog hits you with those big, round eyes. According to new studies, that expression may have evolved to get exactly that response.

Scientists found that dogs developed a small facial muscle near the eyebrow that wolves don’t have. It helps raise their inner brow, aka the “puppy dog eyes” move. Dogs who made this expression more often may have had a better chance of being adopted, forming tighter bonds, or just getting more treats.

This trait shows up across breeds, especially in companion dogs like Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. It’s part of what makes eye contact so meaningful in dog sports, training, and everyday bonding.

In other words, that look isn’t just cute, it’s also a form of communication. And yes, it works every time.

As the days shorten and the nights grow longer, nothing matters more than restorative rest!
