    I grew up with dogs, and I’m absolutely sure they remembered me even many years after I moved out of the house. 🙂

    I’m absolutely agree, that it comes down to the different dog, and how you treat them and so on.

    At this point I’m living in a flat, so it’s too small, but I can’t wait to be able to have dogs again.

    Cheers

    Yes, I believe that some dogs remember their owner. That is why I feel so sorry for the dogs that are given up to a shelter. They can become really depressed. So sad! This was a great article. Thanks!

    This is sooo true, dogs certainly miss their parents or owners whichever you prefer to call them. I had a golden retriever when I was growing up and everytime I came home from school she would cry as if she was pleased to see me, either that or unhappy to see me. lol
