Dogs are always loyal. Do you agree? They are even ready to sacrifice their lives to their owners. Keeping a dog with yourself is always better than keeping a human because we all know humans change with time, but dogs don’t. Let me prove it to you with a story about a dog and its grandmother. So without a do, let’s get started.
A Dog’s Loyalty Toward Its Owner
This is a heartwarming story of a devoted dog who understands the value of repaying a favor to a person who helped him in the past. This dog has been giving his human grandmother, who has leg issues, breakfast for many years. In a world where humans leave their parents and old ones, this 5-sense animal is helping its owner daily.
The puppy was just a few months old when his previous owner left him. He was once a stray dog but made friends with an elderly woman who took him in and gave him a very wonderful life.
The only time the puppy got to play outside with his granny was when they went to the store to get breakfast because it was quite uncomfortable for her to go around on her feet.
The dog lost its one and only opportunity to accompany granny when she tripped and fell one day.
He initially felt uneasy, but he realized that it might be because he was familiar with the trip to and from the store. He then made a commitment to go to the store every day even though all he needed to do was buy his grandma breakfast.
The guard was surprised when the dog first entered the store on his own and wondered what was going on and why the dog would go there by himself. When the dog would leave holding a bag of food, the guard started to notice. He seemed to take the initiative every day to prepare breakfast for the dog to bring back to his Grandma when he saw the dog coming.
Ten years have passed since the dog made an independent trip to the supermarket to buy breakfast.
The dog, who is already old, still insists on buying his grandmother breakfast each morning. After all, he loved his Grandma dearly and would never let her skip breakfast.
Animals do more good than humans do, who only contribute a small amount. Animals should always be respected. People will come into contact with a lot of other people throughout their life, but you are the only faithful creature.
This dog outperforms humans in every way. He is fantastic for taking care of Grandma; it’s absolutely awesome to take care of her. He is a true hero!
He truly has a heart of gold, which is proof of how much a dog respects and loves his or her human parents. They remain steadfast and devoted until the very end!
Dogs are priceless, have pure hearts, and are superior to the majority of people.
God bless this gorgeous dog.
God bless his innocent heart!
After reading this heart-melting story, you will know how loyal are the dogs but have you wondered why dogs are loyal? That’s what we are going to answer in the next section.
Where Do Dogs Get Their Loyalty?
Dogs love to hunt, eat, sleep, and live with a pack because they are pack animals that directly evolved from wolves. Since they are pack animals, we humans, who are social beings, became their flock after being domesticated.
If you’ve ever taken the effort to teach your dog how to sit, talk, or stay, you already know that they want to please you since you’re the pack leader, just like how wild wolves want to please their alpha leader wolf.
Dr. Ochoa claims, “I do find that this is inherited.” “They’ll help take care of their group members if you’re a member of their pack,” They were raised to believe that staying faithful to their leader will ensure their survival and provide them with food, affection, and shelter.
Pretty wise, huh?
Do Some Breeds Possess Greater Loyalty Than Others?
The majority of dog breeds are incredibly devoted. However, Dr. Ochoa claims that a select handful stands out in terms of loyalty. Chihuahuas, boxers, and labrador retrievers are among the dogs that are devoted to their owners.
That being said, any breed of dog can be devoted, and some dogs may not have had the opportunity to grow up in a true pack and may not have truly learned to show devotion to others. But it’s more likely that this is the exception than the rule.
Do Dogs Show Loyalty Because You Saved Them?
Many dog owners might believe that their dog only truly cares for them so deeply because they adopted them, “rescued” them, or in some cases, physically removed them from dangerous situations to provide them with what they now know as a great home. However, it’s possible that we attribute that to them more as human characteristics.
According to Dr. Ochoa, “I think most dogs are really excited and grateful to be a part of a pack and seem to be more devoted since they were adopted, but I think that they would be just as loyal if you acquired them as a puppy vs. rescued later in life.”
Dogs like the company of their pack and understand instinctively that a pack is a successful way to live together. Loyalty is merely one of their survival instincts; it’s inbred into their ancestry. And now that the pack they live within is a nuclear family (of humans), no matter if it’s a family, a single person, a couple, or a house full of roommates, dogs prefer the company of their group.
The next time you wonder how devoted your dog is to you, just keep in mind that you are his pack leader, and devotedness to a pack leader stems from thousands of years of fundamental evolution. Still, it’s really lovely, isn’t it?
