'Adorable' reason why dogs always follow their owners to the toilet – The Mirror

It's fair to say that many people love their dogs, with the animals often being described as man's best friend but, little you may know, they are actually sending you messages via their actions. We may think we know everything about our beloved pets, but it may not be the case, as animals tell us things by using adorable signs.

This was recently brought to people's attention on TikTok when unhide opened up about a super cute idea, and the clip has since gone viral. When it comes to dogs, they are a lot more sensitive than people realise, and you can often see how loving yours is by the way it acts and follows you around.

It's not the first time people have been alerted to such behaviour either. Last year, it was also revealed what dogs are trying to tell you when they refuse to look at 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."
