小编导读：对着狗狗望着你那天真稚嫩无辜的眼神，有没有瞬间被萌化呀？

Why does my dog bark at the vacuum cleaner or hide in a corner whenever the lightest bit of rain starts to fall? I don't think I’ll ever know the answers to those questions, but thanks to new developments in the science of dog communication, I now know whether or not my dog loves me.
为什么我的狗狗会对着正空吸尘器狂吠，或者是就算是下小雨它也会躲在角落里？我一直都不知道这些问题的答案，但是由于跟狗狗交流这一科学的新发展，我现在能够知道我的狗狗爱不爱我了。

The signs are very subtle and they're not always obvious, but as we break down in this exclusive, all you need to know are the tiny signs that prove your dog's love for you…
这些迹象都很微妙，不是很明显，但当我们深入剖析，你需要知道的东西只是证明你家汪星人爱你的一些微小迹象而已。

when your dog looks you in the eye, he is "hugging you with his eyes".
当你的狗狗深情地看着你的眼睛，那它正在“用眼睛抱抱你”。

Yawning is contagious. But did you know this impulse isn't limited to just humans?
打哈欠是会传染的。但是你知道吗，这种冲动不是人类专有的哦？

Dogs, because they’ve been bred to read humans, also yawn when someone they love yawns.
人们认为狗狗们就是养大来读懂人类的，所以在喜欢的人打哈欠时，狗狗也会打哈欠。

The song "Lean on Me" is all about offering support and dogs crave that same kind of security. Sometimes a dog will lean on a human because he is anxious, wants you to do something, or take him somewhere. But leaning is also a symbol of affection.
歌曲《Lean on me》唱的就是关于给予支持的，狗狗们也很渴望那种安全感。有时狗狗会因为焦虑而倚靠在人身上，想要你做些什么，或想让你带它到什么地方。但是倚靠也是喜爱的一种表现。

In his book, How Dogs Love Us, Gregory Berns, if your dog cuddles with your after eating, it’s a strong sign that they do indeed love you.
在格雷戈里·伯恩斯的《狗狗们是怎样爱我们的》一书中说到，如果你的狗狗在吃完东西后抱着你，这是个它们真的很需要你的爱的强烈表现。

We think we can read a dog by its tail, but its facial expressions are a way more powerful indicator.
我们认为可以通过狗狗的尾巴读懂狗狗的情绪，但是它的面部表情也是一个强大的表现方式。

In a recent study in Japan, dogs were introduced to their parent, a stranger, a dog toy, and an item they didn’t like.
近来日本的一项研究中，狗狗们被带到自己的父母亲、一个陌生人、一只狗狗玩具和一个它们不喜欢的物件前面。

When seeing their parent, the dogs immediately lifted their eyebrows (especially their left), and when they saw a stranger there was a lot less facial movement, except for movement of the right brow.
当看到爸爸妈妈时，狗狗们立马把眉毛抬起来了（特别是左边的眉毛），当它们看到一个陌生人时，就没什么面部运动，除了右边眉毛稍微动了那么一下下。

Some people think that if a dog panics when they leave that it’s a sign that they love them. That's not necessarily true, according to Gregory Berns.
一些人认为当他们离开的时候狗狗表现出不安是狗狗们爱他们的一个表现。格雷戈里·伯恩斯称这不一定是真的。

If your dog panics when you leave, it’s more of a sign that they have separation anxiety than that they love you.
如果狗狗在你出门的时候表现出不安，这只不过是它们有分离焦虑的表现而不是爱你的表现。

If a dog goes into his crate or is accepting of you leaving, i.e. they’re calm when you leave, it means your dog loves and trusts you and is confident that you will return.
比方说，如果狗狗进到小箱子里或是接受你离开，也就是它们在你离开时表现得很镇静，这就意味着你的狗狗爱你，相信你并很肯定你会回来的。

We all feel special when we come home and we’re greeted by our dog with his tail wagging, and he’s jumping all over the place like a crazy kangaroo.
当我们回到家，狗狗们摇着他那拖着的尾巴欢迎我们回家，我们就都会感到自己很特别，而且，它还会到处乱窜像一只疯狂的袋鼠一样。

It’s a very distinctive way a dog shows you his love for you — and it’s love in its truest form.
这是狗狗表达它对你的爱的一种独特方式——这是一种最真实的爱意。

Another way to figure out whether your dog loves you is observing where he likes to sleep. It's part of a big controversy, but if your dog wants to sleep in your bed — even if you don't allow it — he definitely loves you.
还有一种鉴别你狗狗是否爱你的方法就是观察他喜欢睡觉的地方。这是最受争议的方面，但是如果你的狗狗想睡在你的床上——即使你不允许——那他肯定是爱你的。

If your pup brings you his favorite, most coveted toy, it doesn't just mean your dog wants to play. Although wanting to play with you is a sign of affection in itself, when your dog brings you his favorite ball, it may also mean he thinks of you as his pack leader. Because of this, he wants to please you by offering you his finest possession.
如果你的狗狗把他最喜欢、最梦寐以求的玩具拿给你，并不是说狗狗想玩。尽管想要跟你一起玩耍本身是一种爱的表现，但当狗狗把他最喜欢的球球拿到你面前，这也说明他把你当成是自己的领导。因为这个，他想通过给你他最好的东西来取悦你。
