What does it mean when a dog stares at a person? According to new research published by SCIENCESUGGESTS, a dog staring at a person is equivalent to saying I love you. Takefumi Kikusui, a veterinarian at Azabu University in Japan, led a team that recruited a group of pet owners and their dogs and had them stare deeply into each other’s eyes. The researchers detected the hormone oxytocin in the dogs’ urine, indicating that the dogs’ stares were their way of expressing love.
