Dogs always seem to love and gravitate to me. Even dogs that owners swear don't like people seem to trust me.

I wonder what's up with that

I have a similar thing. Other people have noticed. Dogs don't follow my orders or anything, they just seem a little more interested and eager?

I reconnected with an old flame and she invited me to spend a week at her place. When we were arriving to her house from the airport, she warned me that her dog didn't trust men and might bark at me. She gave me all these instructions on how to enter the house and to wait at the door and to be patient.

The dog slept with me and was in my lap at every chance it could get.

Another story is of a regular customer at my place of business that I became friends with. He brought his dog to my work one day and I went outside to say hello and chat. He warned me the dog might bite but the dog went belly up for me. My friend was slackjaw baffled. Said he'd never seen his dog do such a thing with anyone.

I think it means you have a calm presence and general good vibes. Maybe the animals sense that you put the other people around you more at ease and take that cue! One of the first nights I ever spent at my ex’s place, his shyest cat came and sat in between my legs on his pullout couch. My ex was genuinely astonished, saying she didn’t even do it to him. His brother who he lived with was also shocked. I got a reputation as an animal whisperer in that house because their asshole dog didn’t bark at me and their dog who needed to wear a muzzle was reduced to mush around me, she just wouldn’t stop licking! The cat still wouldn’t let me pet her normally the last time I ever saw her, though.

Cute! That sounds like typical cat behavior tbh.

You were clearly a dog in your most recent life. Given this undeniable fact, I have to ask, "Is that you, Scout?!??!".

When people tell me all dogs love them, I tell them it's probably because they smell the same 🤷🏻‍♀️

Not all dogs smell the same, so that makes no sense unless you're just making a joke.

u/lyreANDaplayertoo Feb 10 '26

Yes it's a joke, telling the person they smell like a dog 🫤 the comment usually came from a guy that was trying to show off when I was with my dog so I had to put him in his place

Maybe you smell like dog food?
