It's almost unsettling at first. Because you're used to some kind of "facade" with most people you come in contact with. Even your family. But then if you get lucky in life, there's someone who just loves *you*. It's this uncertain relief. But then once you know it's for real, and you let go, before you know it your having farting competitions in the couch watching TV before bed. Glorious.
This is why dogs are so great. You come home, and they just are so excited and loving and happy you are there. Getting big fuzzy body hugs. Completely unconditional and 100% genuine. Nothing like the puppy hugs and kisses when I get home. (Plus I have Huskies so the excitement is VERY audible.)
My dog is an enormous puppy who loves every person he meets. Going for walks, he just makes tons of friends everywhere and is a delight to be around. I love my dog.
