Petting and spending quality time also contribute significantly to strengthening this relationship. The depth of this bond can vary based on the amount of time spent together and the overall care provided, as explained by animal behaviorists Hembree and Meisler.
In Mabel’s case, the visible excitement and love she shows when her owner’s boyfriend comes home demonstrate the powerful connection they share. This emotional response underscores the idea that dogs can form deep attachments to multiple people based on the positive experiences they share.
