supersomatic
they didn't control for method or amount of given affection. Inconclusive.
rbasta
The yellow highlighting of random words is very distracting.
DigitalWaffle
Yeah my bitch also chose strangers. That’s why we broke up
OneFun
At home, my dog will always go to a new person. I call her a traitor and a terrible guard dog so I feel better.
ApolloTheSpaceFox
rubbing a dog right above their tail is an errotic zone. That dude at the end...
myhappyanonplace
Not my dog my dog loves making friends she ditches me all the time lol
BoredBashfulBrowser
A family reunion in a room with 15 people and one little terrier. That dog chose my lap and licked my face endlessly. Had no food on hand.

Speaking of the stranger, anyone ever sit on your hand for awhile then jack off?
CCsmomhasgotitgoingon
My dog tries to eat strangers. You have to at least buy him dinner first before you can touch his butt. He is my best boy.

My dog likes to find new owners at the dog parks. No lie, one time she was following some stranger out of the park as they left haha.
velvetblueeyes
From the thumbnail... i was certain there was a crotch sniffer involved.
Bizarkly
My territory: "whatcha doing here, stranger?" Not my territory: "better defend my friend". Neither: "who's my *new* friend - and territory."
MissAizea
Animals velcro to me, it's a bit annoying at times.
darkhalfbreed
So if a dog is at home and a friendly stranger comes in they try to be a good host to them...in theory

The dogs at home are being good hosts! (They learn this graciousness, I think, from thier persons!)
BumbleBeeBeardedGingerBear
It's more they want the new experience, and to form a connection with the stranger, so they don't get aggressive with the dog's family.
Maevellous
The stranger sitting there looks so safe without the dog :(
nobodyreadsusernamesanyway
... and now repeat that experiment, but this time let the stranger eat a cheeseburger
Padawin
I always tell people my can't doesn't like strangers (she totally does) but it makes them feel special
DarthBallsDankLordOfTheShit
I love that every person not getting doggo time is like "I wish I could be petting that doggo".
Greeneyeddevil
Imagine being one of the two strangers and not being picked, tho. I might die of sadness.
MacDaddySmitt
Lol just like us
Steelballsofstill
I always smell like bacon so id win this game every time.

Safety is number one priority, once that is addressed then its all about new experiences.
redfeather1
My old boy who is not longer with us would ALWAYS stay between the newcomers and I or my wife until they were "introduced".
AWESOMEBOT
Stranger every time. My dog is an attention slut.
Kavrae
Children act the exact same way in each of these situations.
Snaphanen
Depending on their relation to the parent
StuffedPenguinWithNoName
“the strange situation” is an experiment in psychology. It’s somewhat similar
quattroformaggix4
Same deal with secure & socially comfortable couples & friends at parties or large gatherings. Secure attachment behaviour.
niccmacc
Yep - studies on attachment find similar results with children [source: google Attachment Theory or something]
buttbuttpartywagon
Are you a strange man approaching kids in public?
swinglinered
pedos have the best candy
Vercci
No in private didn't you see the results.
kustomkirk
My girl always goes for the new comer. But constantly stares back at me while she's doing it...
baronramsey
beautiful, gotta make you jealous
CondescendingCunt
What a slut.
ChiLLeCheeze
My dog does this at the dog park. "I'm having fun, but I'm coming back to you for a loving recharge."
Tigermd
She wants you to watch
NiceGreenArrows
How about your dog though?
Tech3828
zFUBARz
Attachment theory is a hell of a thing, Your doggo would be considered securely attached. Thanks Psych 101.
SomeCrazyNerd
You jealous yet?
IaintPostingPicsforYou
That bitch!
kustomkirk
She always looks guilty...like she's cheating!!
amglasgow
She's looking at you for reassurance that you're still there to back her up if the newcomer turns out to be less than friendly.
Nottheuseryouarelookingfor
In essence you're still the 'alpha'.
BIackNoir
Nah. My dog gets pet by someone new and looks at me side ways like, "See, I don't need you." It makes people crack up.
theclassiest
Hate when my girlfriend does this
ShentoSama
You should tell your hand to behave.
TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlememes
GemsAreOutrageousTrulyTrulyTrulyOutrageous
Sounds like a real bitch.
dragonfliesfantasize
I love when your girlfriend does that

No1v1
One of my dogs is a rescue and doesn’t like people, mostly men, so shies away from me at home but is stuck to my side in public.
D0ubletheteller
I feel like there’s an interesting story from this
everettscott
Prior abuse most likely. Not every interesting ):
No1v1
Yup. Training was hard. was abused and likely they used treats to bait him within grabbing range, because he walks away from treats often
No1v1
Yeah he was heavily abused, hard to train as he isn’t easily enticed by treats. He trusts me but at home prefers the wife, and runs from me
No1v1
But in public, can’t trust anyone but me, so hugs my side and avoids strangers on walks etc
DrewBerg
I would be legit low key heartbroken if I wasn't chosen between the two stranger scenario. To just sit there & watch another pet a dog? No!!
PrincessOctopus
Dogs can sense animal lovers man. I've met dogs who won't let most new people come near them and day one I'm petting them.
RosencrantzNGuildensternNeverLived
They smell your dog/cat whatever. They're not psychic, but they can smell like whoa. Body language helps too.
PrincessOctopus
Mhmm basically
rabbiebabbie
Haha yeah I'd wonder what was wrong with me
ThisNameLacksPunctuation
Right? That the purest of pure loves was like "nah... I want my but scratchies from this dude, here." Try again, loser! sadface...
BumbleBeeBeardedGingerBear
As someone with two large effluvient dogs, it helps if you um... smell right. Especially your shoes and pants.
swinglinered
step in dog poo first- autowin
BumbleBeeBeardedGingerBear
*You gotta be a bit stinky.
DrewBerg
So what are you suggesting I fill my pants with? If it means I get to pet a doggo I’ll do it.
BumbleBeeBeardedGingerBear
Beef snacks? Socks you rubbed on other dogs? Anything a dog would want to sniff.
DrewBerg
So always have pocket meat? Done.
Greeneyeddevil
My first thought. I'd be crushed. What if you do it a few times and every time, the dog picks the other stranger. I mean...
DrewBerg
Suicide. It would be the ONLY solution.
Greeneyeddevil
Yep. Just dive headfirst into a blender, goodbye cruel world and doggos I was not good enough for, bzsrrrrrrrppppp
LynchMeDaddy
This made me laugh too much
DrewBerg
THEN the dog is interested.
Greeneyeddevil
Honestly, I'll take it, so long as a dog likes me
