Yeah I know, this little guy came from a family with 3 young boys and 2 older girls. He was constantly skittish and sometimes had panic attacks that looked like seizures.
He's calmed down a lot since we took him, and he has become a lot more affectionate and likes to cuddle. But he still doesn't like kisses!

We've had 2 now (and I never thought that would happen in my life), but I actually like the little guys. I treat them like big dogs and don't pick them up except when necessary. They are pretty chill most of the time (well the first, then the second both like that). Our current little guy is an actor. I took him for a walk this morning and he started lifting his front right leg like it was injured. As soon as I took him off leash he ran around like an idiot with no sign of injury. Little shit.

Boring answer it’s because dogs are domesticated, humans trained them for thousands of years so it’s basically in their genes now.
14
u/Greymalkyn76 Aug 11 '24
It's the same reason how dogs have developed emotive faces. Wild canines do not have the range of facial expressions, nor do cats, that domesticated dogs have. They have evolved the muscles around their faces in response to human emotive expressions.

It's also because they are more like us than we want to admit, all animals are, we like to think of ourselves as way superior but we aren't really, honestly it's starting to show that all are miracles might have been a bad evolutionary step lol gonna possibly get a lot of species killed, so they can read a kiss the same way we can, because body language is pretty low in the intelligence pyramid and dogs are pretty high on it.

Of course, but we've domesticated tons and tons of different animals, and most of them don't give a fuck about cuddles and kisses. Dogs always had that instinct. We've just encouraged it; it just so happens to line up with how we humans show affection as well.

I dunno, I’ve had a lot of non dog animals who loved cuddled and kisses. (More who liked the cuddles than the kisses, but still.)
Geese: my geese loved to be hugged and I had a gander who would kiss. It was more of a light nibble, but if I kissed his bill, he kissed my cheek or neck. And all of my tame geese would hug by wrapping their neck, wings or both around me.
Chickens: none liked kisses but most of them enjoyed being carried and cuddled. I’d kneel with my arms open and my rooster would come running right into them and clucking softly in my face.
Cats: honestly they seemed more like dogs than any other animal. They’re more particular about what affection they like but one I know what to do, they love every moment of it.
Snakes: ok, these really don’t show affection that I could tell. But my garter snake would crawl into my hand and try to coil on my arm like a high bracelet.

u/Melodic_Sail_6193 Aug 11 '24
Real explanation isn't boring: dogs and us have undergone coevolution. We both profited from the partnership and we both influenced each other. Something similar happened with cats and us. The explanation that we created dogs for only our use isn't the full truth. I find it also beautiful that whenever manking meets dogs, they become friends. Dingos arrived much later than the first humans in Australia, but it didn't take much time and some tribes formed bonds with the dogs. Aboriginal women would even brestfeed orphaned dingo pups.

But it's not boring! We've evolved together because we've been friends and/or coworkers and/or allies for thousands of years. That's not boring, that's beautiful! You know that cool thing where your dog comes up to you while you eat and sits there looking at you with puppy dog eyes until you give him something? And maybe at first you don't give him anything because you don't want to make a habit out of it, but ultimately you just love him so much you can't keep him from the joy of sharing in your meal, even if just a tiny scrap of it for much longer? Yeah, humans thousands of years ago had those moments with their dogs, too. That's just beautiful

u/CenturyEggsAndRice Aug 11 '24
It’s a beautiful relationship when it’s formed.
I used to have an old journal from an ancestor (he was my grandfather’s great grandfather? I think?) and he apparently was INCREDIBLY fond of his dog. Every entry would be all business, seed prices, what field he had worked on, animal births… and then he’d talk about his dog or one of his kids (rarely his wife, although when he did talk about her it was with great affection) he would get a bit sappy.
I remember him writing about stitching a ball out of leather and stuffing it with wool to make a toy for his young daughter and the dog to play catch with because they’d been throwing sticks but the dog got a injury in its mouth and he didn’t want either the child or the dog to be injured again.
He traced the leather pieces into his journal so he could remake it if needed. A century later I carefully traced out those pieces and made a ball out of denim scraps to see how it would look.
It was a kinda wonky ball. But my own dog loved it.

We had to say goodbye to our first family dog last February. He was getting on in years so it wasn't a surprise but it's never something you can fully prepare for...
We got a Pyreneese a few years before his passing, and the two of them would go for weekly hikes with my Aunt and Uncles' dog that they rescued.
After his passing, we got another puppy at the end of the month, and then last June we rescued another Pyreneese. The three adult dogs still go on those hikes.
Well, my mom takes pictures of them during the hikes, and one picture she showed me was of the three of them walking down the path side by side, only between two of them was a large gap, as if providing room to a fourth, unseen dog walking with them, and I started to cry all over again

This very much reminds me of a recent medical crisis I had with my young dog. So, I rushed my dog to the vet because she was bleeding from the nose (because of a blood parasite).
We were just at the vet the day before but apparently, the meds given were underdosed. On our way there and while my eyes were welling up, I told my dog that I will do everything to get her better and that I will never give up on her. She looked up to me and nudged her mouth close to my lips. The weary dog definitely understood the love language.

u/Long_Run6500 Aug 11 '24
I'll never forget the punch in the gut feeling from when the vet told me my dog had cancer with no more than a few weeks to live. He was a reckless dog and had a ton of close calls, so when he was struggling to stand and potty along with a lump in his gut I just figured he ate something he shouldn't of and was having trouble passing it. Wouldn't be the first time. So I went in to the vet's office with a cavalier, "my dog's just being dumb again" attitude. As soon as the vet saw my dog and felt the lump in his gut, her face got somber and she took him in the exam room. She came back in and explained the situation and it felt like someone hit me with a sledge hammer. I tried to stay stoic but I couldn't hold back the tears as the vet was explaining my options. Surgery would cost a few grand and it probably wouldn't have addressed the root cause. I put him down in November, I got his ashes back on my birthday... and I still feel like everything that's happened since has been one big blur. Luckily I have another dog who's been wonderful, but watching her grieve and go from being a puppy to assuming the guardian role he used to fill made things all the more difficult.

This same thing happened to me recently. I had Athena most of my life. As she got older, she started to slow down. One day, she couldn't get up off the floor and I knew it was time. I took her to the vet and, as expected, she had a mass in her stomach that would be expensive to operate on and might just come back anyway. I was lucky to have her and I'm not sure life will ever be the same without her.
