What dogs think about when they're home alone is enough to make you never leave

Every dog owner knows how difficult it is to close the door on your pet while they're giving you the puppy eyes. But unfortunately for them, many of us have to leave the house to earn money to keep their stomachs full, and to buy new toys when they inevitably rip theirs apart.

As dogs don't understand the concept of going out to work, they often spend hours wondering where their owner has gone and when they're going to be back.

Adrienne Carson, the vice president of behaviour and training at St Hubert's Animal Welfare, told The Dog People that pooches miss their owners when they're away because they associate them with happy feelings.The Dog People states: "If you've been gone for a long time, your dog might be super excited when you come home.

Research shows that the longer you’re away, the happier your dog is when you return. Dogs are social animals, so they may feel sad when their favourite person is gone.
