The article explores the dynamics of dogs' attachments to their human family members. It suggests that while some dogs might develop a particular preference for one person—often the one who provides the most care, like feeding and exercising—it is not universal. Factors such as breed characteristics can influence these bonds, with small breed dogs having stronger attachments compared to more social breeds like retrievers. Ultimately, the affection dogs display reflects their experiences and relationships within the household.
Some dogs are more likely to have a favorite person, like small breed dogs. This is typically someone who spends the most time with them, feeds them, and gives them positive reinforcement.
If there's one person who takes them out, the person who plays with them, the person who feeds them, that a lot of times ends up being their person more than anyone.
Dogs do tend to migrate towards one particular member of the household, but it doesn't necessarily mean that they're not into the others.
Think of it like a kid who seeks out one parent for comfort and another for playtime. Dogs see their family members the same.
