English Bulldog Puppies Can't Stop Kissing Each Other

People say that, over time, dogs start to resemble their owners, both in looks and in behavior. Whether it’s the animals that start imitating their humans, or the humans start to identify themselves with their dogs, it doesn’t matter, there are hundreds of photos online where dog owners look almost exactly like their dogs!

The age when man first tame dogs is yet unknown to science, and the history of our friendship is filled with gaps. However, it is estimated that we have been hanging out and living with dogs tens of thousands of years. For such a long period, even though dogs were not endowed with the gift of speech, they managed to look for ways to communicate with each other, with other animals and people. This system they created combines a set of gestures, sounds, smells and many other tell-tale signs. Licking or what we see as kissing, is one way of expressing emotions in "canine language".

Now, do dog owners understand the everyday behavior of their beloved four legged friends? What does doggy "kissing" actually mean? American professor of psychology, an expert on animal behavior - about the differences in the perception of the world by man and his pets.

Many owners say that their dog kisses or their dogs love each other so much that they kiss, meaning – they lick each other or they lick the owner’s face. Perhaps you will be surprised, but when licking a person’s or another dog’s face, the dog does not always experience positive emotions. The mother dog licking her young is one of the first bodily contacts for the puppy after birth. A newborn puppy does not hear anything and does not see anything, but it has a keen sense of smell and well-developed tactile sensations. The mother warms the puppy with the licking, stimulates its blood circulation and improves its digestion. Immediately after birth, licking also acquires a hygienic character. Newborn puppies should not emit any smell, as it can attract predators who are not averse to dining on defenseless newborns. After birth, the mother's saliva is saturated with antibacterial substances, which make it possible to clean the puppies' hair and give it a neutral smell.

This is something that dogs continue doing all their life as in recollection of the first post-natal love and care they have experienced.
