An after-meal cuddle isn't a thank you for the kibble, it's actually a genetically programmed response to your pet's wild pack dog ancestry. Curling up with you after a meal is a sign that your dog considers you part of the pack.

Take a moment to play when your puppy brings you a toy. Since toys are a big part of their lives, bring you a toy is the equivalent of people giving each other gifts. A few minutes of play is the best way to say "thank you."
