Introduction to Dogs' Nostalgic Psychology

Labrador Retriever (Detailed Introduction)
Dogs also have nostalgic feelings. People often say that dogs have a very strong homing ability, which is the best reflection of a dog's nostalgic attachment psychology. Dogs, especially adult dogs, after changing owners and arriving at a new and unfamiliar environment, often feel depressed for a period, behave coldly and indifferently towards the new owner, remain guarded, and sometimes even repay kindness with ingratitude, seeking opportunities to escape and rush back home. The reason dogs want to return home is because the owner is there; dogs want to be back by their owner's side, hoping to maintain the simple environment under their owner's care and affection.
Because of this, dogs endure various hardships and difficulties to return alone from distant and strange lands.
If your dog was adopted or given by a friend, there is a high chance it will exhibit the above behavior. However, new owners should not feel disheartened; such behavior also proves that the dog is affectionate and loyal.
If this situation indeed happens, new owners should invest more effort in nurturing the dog, letting it know you love it and will treat it well. No matter how stubborn the dog is, it will understand one day and respond to you. Therefore, do not give up on the dog because of this behavior.
