🐾 Did you know that petting your dog and looking into their eyes releases oxytocin (the “bonding hormone”) for both of you? It’s the same hormone that strengthens human relationships during a six-second kiss or a 20-second hug. This #NationalDogDay, take an extra moment to connect with your pup, whether it’s a belly rub, ear scratch, or yes… even a six-second “kiss” if that’s your thing. But maybe save that for your partner. 💙 #GottmanInstitute #NationalDogDay #DogLovers #PetLove #BondingTime

There’s real biology behind this moment. When humans interact calmly with a familiar dog—through touch, eye contact, or simply being close—the nervous system releases oxytocin.
