Another explanation for dogs wanting to protect their owners is that dogs bond with their owners via a physiological phenomenon called an oxytocin loop. This phenomenon is how babies bond with their parents. When looking into each others eyes, a hormone called oxytocin is released. This hormone causes parents to feel protective and nurturing towards their babies.
Research has shown that the same phenomenon occurs in dogs. When staring into their owners eyes, the dog’s and human’s oxytocin rises. This causes both the dog and human to feel good, and it explains why dogs are often found staring at their owners. The oxytocin loop also explains why dogs want to protect their owners at all costs. The dogs have an increased level of oxytocin that causes them to feel protective towards their owner.
