So we finally know why we cant resist those adorable puppy faces! Humans and dogs have co-evolved to have a stronger emotional bond with each other than other animals. Basically both of you release high levels of oxytocin when you look at each other or spend time together. Oxytocin is the most important chemical your body uses to form relationships and is the same chemical that is released when caring for your own children!
Dogs are also the only animal to seek eye contact with humans. Not even wolves raised by humans share this behavior. It is this behavior that releases the oxytocin in both humans and dogs.
For the full science behind it watch this video:
