When you think about it, though, isn\u2019t this kind of strange? After all, we don\u2019t walk up to other humans and rub their bellies or stroke their shoulders whenever we see them.

De hecho, la investigaci\u00f3n ha encontrado que <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/science\/archive\/2015\/10\/genetic-study-writes-yet-another-origin-story-for-dogs\/411196\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Los perros y los humanos han convivido durante decenas de miles de a\u00f1os.<\/a>, though the exact date when this relationship began is unknown. During this time, it\u2019s no wonder that humans and dogs have formed unique ways to communicate. Think of it as the weird gestures and sounds you make around people you\u2019re truly comfortable with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Un ejemplo de esto son los perros y los humanos que se miran a los ojos para comunicarse. Los chimpanc\u00e9s y los lobos nunca pensar\u00edan en hacer esto, pero por alguna raz\u00f3n, los perros entienden que el contacto visual es esencial cuando hablan con un humano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"human-and-dog-chemistry\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Qu\u00edmica humana y canina<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the bond between human and dog doesn\u2019t rely on eye contact, barks, and tail wagging alone. There is also petting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Al observar perros y gatos, los humanos hemos aprendido que las caricias pueden estimular una conexi\u00f3n mediante la liberaci\u00f3n de oxitocina, la hormona del v\u00ednculo. La oxitocina tambi\u00e9n es responsable de las conexiones madre-beb\u00e9 y es la raz\u00f3n principal por la que las personas se desean mutuamente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El contacto visual con su amado perro por s\u00ed solo puede causar su <a href=\"https:\/\/www.science.org\/content\/article\/how-dogs-stole-our-hearts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">niveles de oxitocina para elevar 130%<\/a>. For humans, their oxytocin skyrockets up to 300%. That\u2019s incredible. And it\u2019s from a mere look at your dog. No wonder we tend to see them as our babies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"why-do-dogs-like-to-be-pet\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 a los perros les gusta ser mascotas?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are many benefits to petting a dog\u2014for them and for their humans. Because dogs and humans have a special bond, it makes sense that they derive the same joy from being touched as humans do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, this is all up to speculation. Research hasn\u2019t delved too deeply into the matter at hand to truly have an answer for the question <em>\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 a los perros les gusta que los acaricien?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aqu\u00ed hay algunas posibilidades:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Tener una mascota se siente bien<\/strong>. Who doesn\u2019t love a massage? A pleasant touch is always nice and feels great. Dogs and humans are the same in that regard.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>El contacto f\u00edsico ayuda a los perros a comprender sus emociones<\/strong>. Dogs are excellent at understanding human emotion. It\u2019s hypothesized that dogs have the same emotional thermometer as people do, meaning we can sense how others feel with touch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Las caricias son un pegamento que nos une<\/strong>. \u00bfRecuerdas ese v\u00ednculo madre-beb\u00e9? Los comportamientos de aseo personal y el tacto ayudan a formar comunidades y relaciones.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hay beneficios para la salud.<\/strong>. De manera similar a acariciar a un gato, acariciar a un perro reduce el ritmo card\u00edaco, la presi\u00f3n arterial y libera hormonas que les hacen sentir bien a ambos.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Los perros y los humanos son animales sociales.<\/strong>. El tacto tambi\u00e9n ayuda tanto a los humanos como a los perros a comunicarse con los miembros de su c\u00edrculo social.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/brown-dog-on-sofa-stockpack-unsplash-900x1200.jpg\" alt=\"Perro marr\u00f3n en el sof\u00e1 recibiendo un rasgu\u00f1o\" class=\"wp-image-403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/brown-dog-on-sofa-stockpack-unsplash-900x1200.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/brown-dog-on-sofa-stockpack-unsplash-285x380.jpg 285w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/brown-dog-on-sofa-stockpack-unsplash-540x720.jpg 540w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/brown-dog-on-sofa-stockpack-unsplash-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/brown-dog-on-sofa-stockpack-unsplash-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/brown-dog-on-sofa-stockpack-unsplash-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/brown-dog-on-sofa-stockpack-unsplash-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/brown-dog-on-sofa-stockpack-unsplash-1568x2091.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/brown-dog-on-sofa-stockpack-unsplash-630x840.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/brown-dog-on-sofa-stockpack-unsplash-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"what-do-dogs-feel-when-you-pet-them\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00bfQu\u00e9 sienten los perros cuando los acaricias?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sab\u00eda usted que <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.discovermagazine.com\/seriouslyscience\/2014\/09\/03\/shut-pet-dogs-prefer-petting-vocal-praise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Los perros prefieren ser acariciados por sus humanos.<\/a> instead of verbally praised? It\u2019s not always about the touch itself, but more what it means.

Don\u2019t just lunge at a dog and assume they\u2019re going to be okay with it. While most dogs are acclimated to being rubbed all over, they have their favorite places to be pet. The upper chest, hips, under the chin, and ears are the best places to pet a dog.
