My girls *adore* me. They get excited if I even call home. They get love and most certainty give love.
What that I had said was not nice? It was just elaborating on what you said.
If dogs didn't give love, why would anyone choose to go through teething, housebreaking and illnesses?
From a strictly science pov. They have ALL the sensors in the brain that we do. They accept and give love/emotion just as humans do, if not, even more!
