An evaluation of your dog’s love for you based on science
The most recent scientific research on how dogs exhibit affection to their owners is included in the quiz on this page.

It’s not just about your dog, though. You have a significant impact on the development and expression of emotions as its owner. To ensure that the quiz results are entirely correct, we look into your characteristics and behavior.
· Excluding Red Flags
Your pet may exhibit certain traits and behaviors that indicate discontentment with its owner. Therefore, before responding to queries like “Does my puppy love me?” we need to rule out such possibilities. At this point, you must be as truthful and accurate as you can. Otherwise, the test results risk losing accuracy and precision.
