20+ Pets Who Stare Right Into Their Owners’ Souls

Since the dawn of time, people have been arguing about who loves their owners more — cats or dogs. But neurobiologists put this question to rest several years ago. They analyzed the saliva examples of 20 pets that had been taken before they played with their owners for 10 minutes and after they played with their owners for 10 minutes. It turned out that dogs had a 57% increase in oxytocin, the love hormone, after they played together with their humans, while cats showed only a 12% increase. But still, it’s an indisputable truth that all these animals have love for their owners.

We at Bright Side believe that no one will have doubts about their pets’ ability to love their hoomans after looking at these photos. Just look at those sincere eyes that stare right into your soul!
