Dogs are not with us because they are "used to." But because...🐾

Did you ever think... 🐶💛

That I live with my mother every day

It's because of "habituation."

Wake up and meet mom

Eat with mom

Sleeping next to mom.

Everything is the same every day.

Until maybe...

I might think

👉 I'm with you.

Because it's "always been like this."

But the truth is...

It's not just habituation. 🤍

🧠. Research has shown that

The relationship between the dog and its owner.

It looks similar.

"Mother-son bond."

Especially when there's eye contact.

The body secretes the hormone Oxytocin.

Which is the hormone of bonding.

👉 And it's increasing in me and in me.

(Nagasawa et al., 2015)

That means...

I didn't live because of my habituation.

But I'm really "attached" to you.

"Mom... I'm not here because of Shin.

I stayed because I chose my mother. "🐾💛

For Mom

A mother's world can be many.

Work

A friend.

Family

Many things to think about

But for me...

👉 my whole world.

There's just "Mom."

I'm glad you came home.

Even out for just a few hours.

I'm looking for you.

Even though she's in a different corner

I followed my mother.

Although there is nothing to do

It's not because I have nothing to do.

But because...

👉 I want to be around you.

"I don't want anything special.

Just have a mother here.

I'm happy. "🤍

Maybe...

Something that looks ordinary to mom.

Could be "the whole world" for mice.

If you turn to see me next door today,

Don't forget to gently rub my head.

Because for me...

Being with my mother

Not just used to it.

But it is.

"Happiness for life."

... Read moreหลายคนอาจเคยคิดว่าสุนัขอยู่กับเราเพราะความเคยชินหรือเพียงแค่เป็นเจ้าของ แต่จากประสบการณ์ตรงและงานวิจัยที่ได้รับการยอมรับ พบว่าความสัมพันธ์ระหว่างหมากับเจ้าของนั้นลึกซึ้งยิ่งกว่านั้นมาก ฉันเองเคยมีช่วงเวลาที่รู้สึกว่าน้องหมาที่เลี้ยงดูเหมือนอยู่กับฉันแค่เพราะความเคยชิน แต่เมื่อลองสังเกตพฤติกรรมและความรู้สึกของเขาอย่างละเอียดกลับพบว่า น้องหมาจะส่งสายตาที่เต็มไปด้วยความรักและความไว้วางใจ และเมื่อเราตอบสนองด้วยสายตากลับไป ร่างกายของเราทั้งคู่จะหลั่งฮอร์โมน Oxytocin ซึ่งเป็นฮอร์โมนที่ช่วยเสริมสร้างความรักและความผูกพันเหมือนแม่กับลูก นอกจากการสบตาแล้ว น้องหมายังแสดงความต้องการอยู่ใกล้เราเสมอ เช่น การเดินตามหรือมองหาในช่วงที่เราออกไปข้างนอก แม้จะเป็นเวลาสั้นๆ เขาก็รู้สึกดีใจและปลอดภัยเมื่อเราอยู่ใกล้ๆ เหล่านี้ไม่ใช่การกระทำของความเคยชิน แต่เป็นการเลือกที่เกิดจากความรักและความผูกพันอย่างแท้จริง ดังนั้น การเลี้ยงหมาไม่ได้หมายความแค่การดูแลอย่างพื้นฐานเท่านั้น แต่ยังต้องใส่ใจถึงความรู้สึกและสัมพันธ์ทางอารมณ์ เพื่อให้น้องหมารู้สึกว่าเขามีความหมายและได้รับความรักที่ลึกซึ้งกว่าคำว่าความเคยชิน สุดท้ายนี้ ถ้าคุณมีน้องหมา ลองใช้เวลาสบตาและลูบหัวเขาอย่างอ่อนโยนในทุกวัน เพราะนั่นคือโลกทั้งใบของเขา และเขาเลือกอยู่กับคุณด้วยใจจริง ไม่ใช่เพราะความจำเจหรือความเคยชินเพียงอย่างเดียว
