Dogs like to follow their owners to the toilet for 'adorable' reason

It's reasonable to say that countless people adore their dogs, with these creatures frequently being called humanity's greatest companion, but you might not realise they're actually communicating with you through their behaviour. We might believe we understand everything about our cherished pets, but this may not be accurate, as animals convey messages through endearing gestures.

This was recently highlighted on TikTok when unhide shared an incredibly sweet concept, and the footage has subsequently gone viral. Regarding dogs, they're far more perceptive than most people appreciate, and you can frequently observe how affectionate yours is through its behaviour and the way it shadows you.

This isn't the first occasion people have been made aware of such conduct either. Previously, it was also disclosed how dogs can judge your personality by picking up on key traits.

In the footage, it was explained: "Here's a fact about your dog you probably didn't know. Does your dog ever follow you around and nose its way into whatever you're doing, or just stands at the door whenever you're at the bathroom, and waits for you?

"Well, it's actually them trying to mimic wildlife to protect you while you're vulnerable and going to the bathroom. They stand guard to make sure no one attacks you. I guess dogs really are too good for us."
