Dogs lick their owners for various reasons, primarily to show affection, seek attention, or communicate. It’s a natural behavior rooted in their instincts from puppyhood, when licking was a way to bond with their mothers and littermates. Additionally, licking can be a form of grooming, a means of exploring their environment, or even a sign of submission. Overall, it’s a way for your dog to express love and maintain social connections with you.
