We have such a deep emotional bond with our dogs because when we gaze into their beautiful big puppy eyes, it results in the increase of oxytocin levels. Oxytocin, also known as the ‘love hormone’ or the ‘cuddle chemical’, is the hormone our brains produce that is responsible for encouraging the bonding between people; either with mother and offspring, partner bonding, or any social bonding. And this actually makes us feel better!
So if you need to feel better today, watch the video below, and gaze into the eyes of these adorable pups!
