Why Is Your Dog Looking At You?

1. I need help! My heart is full of pain, guilt!!!! We lost our first dog in 2012. So my daughter found a dog in 2021 that had a bad start in life beaten shoved into a very small cage, when my daughter brought me this dog she was in bad shape. I took Mia to the vet, tape worm, a bad UTI, the worst yeast infection in her ears. After an X-Ray we found that she had a solid mass in her bladder. At this point all I could do is take her home with meds and just love her till it was time. We bought a large cage for Mia and made sure to never close the door. She was scared of my husband thinking he was going to hit her, which he never did. When I got home from work she would just stare at me and it was a battle to get her out of the cage but over time she would eventually come right to me. My husband would on occasion pet her but after the loss of our first dog he didn't want to get attached to mia. He would constantly tell her go to your cage even after I called her out to love on her.This on for a year and a half. Now remember when I first got Mia she had a solid mass in her bladder for awhile everything was ok took her to vet for check ups, she got a second yeast infection in her ears. I started noticing changes in her, she didn't want to eat much, she was losing weight I called and called to get her seen but was told they were booked up, called other vets they two were booked up, no one could get her in for weeks. Monday I got home from work and just the way she looked at me I knew she was leaving me! I called the vet again and was told I could get her in friday. My guilt is did I do enough for her??? So back to Monday when I had this feeling I stayed up all night with her. At 12:00am she got up went to my dinning room and collapsed my husband and son carried her to the living, it was as if she was having a hard time breathing. She would look at me then look away then change her position, she got up and slowly went to her cage, she felt cold to me so I covered her up with a blanket, I showered her with kisses ,then she looked at me then look away. I got up to get my phone and heard her making this awful noise I ran to her and she was taking her last breath and she was gone. I can't get past this pain knowing her last moments was nothing but pain. I'm mad at the vets for not getting her in sokner, I'm mad at my husband for telling her go to your cage when I called her out to love on her, I'm mad at myself for just watching her die this slow and painful death but what more could I have done. The emergency vet charges an arm and a leg I'm the only one who works I can't afford the emergency vet.

2. I heard somewhere that eye contact- the direct kind- makes dogs feel threatened. Is this true? I walk dogs and so I am not sure if it's a good idea to do that. Sometimes they give me eye contact and I want to reciprocate it, but I am afraid of them feeling threatened. I haven't read the book, so I am just asking here. Thank you

5. Eye contact can often be a threat or challenge among people as well. Just go to the grocery store and make eye contact with every man you pass, you might be surprised

13. My beloved dog, Bella, used to look directly into my eyes for a full minutes every night. It took me forever to realize that, after my 10 or 15 minute bedtime ritual of stroking her and telling her all of the wonderful things about her, she wanted to let me know how SHE felt about ME. After a few years of this, I suddenly realized that she was saying, "I love you." Two nights before she died, and we all (including Bella) knew how terribly sick she was, she somehow managed to come up to my bed where my daughter and I were sleeping. It was stunning: she stood there for 15 minutes (somehow), and alternately looked back and forth between the two of us, staring into each of our eyes for a full minute and then turning back to the other to do the same. She was gentle wagging her tail the entire time. I realized that she wanted us to know how much she loves us, and it also felt like she was saying "thank you".
