As an animal learns to trust people, the link between dogs and people is unlike anything else. But occasionally, pets can elevate this unique link to a completely new level. Dogs have the ability to imprint on people, which is another word for how strongly linked they can become.
There are many ways for a dog to express their affection, but there are a few particular actions that do signify imprinting. These 7 acts, according to TikTok user and dog mom @digitdax, indicate that a dog has imprinted on its owner.

The adorable young Dachshund in this video does a wonderful job of demonstrating each of these imprinting habits. This doxie girl and @digitdax obviously get along well!
They are not the only bonded pet and owner on this TikTok side, of course. That is really kind of @Itaalianstallion to say, “My always licks the tears off my face until I stop crying then weighs himself down on me. We are certain that having a tiny friend by your side when you’re low makes a huge difference. Funny enough, a few commenters claim that their pets aren’t as eager to reassure them.
@floral queen1 said, “Stoppp this is too sweet. “My dog avoids me when I’m unhappy and does everything else.” Cute! As no dog can be the best at everything, we assume your dog struggles with providing emotional support. And it’s all right! Try to avoid making comparisons because each dog demonstrates affection, trust, and love in their own unique ways. Your pet is perfect just the way they are!
