Sure, we give our pets all the love and attention that we possibly can — and then some. But how we can know for sure that they actually understand how much we love them? Do they even understand the concept of love? If you have ever had a pet of your own, chances are, similar thoughts have crossed your mind. Luckily, years of research has given us some pretty solid answers.

First, dogs very much do feel and understand love. Best of all, the reasons for that love extend well beyond the food and shelter we provide them. Second, they can even tell that we love them! To see evidence of this for himself, a man named Spencer Jackson adorably “tests” his dog by asking: “Do you know what love means?” See what his sweet pup does in reply in the video below!
At first, Luna simply stares at Spencer. But once he says “I love you” and starts to ask if she love him, too, she responds by placing a single paw near his arm. It’s a simple gesture, but it understandably means so much to Spencer. Plus, from there, this adorable dog only continues to get more excited by his words. The more he talks, the more excited she gets!

“I think that answers it,” Spencer writes in the caption of his video.
This moment is very much reminiscent of one that took place between a woman named Brit and her dog, Lex. When Brit lets the pup know how much she loves her, she whines in a way that makes it seem like she wants to say it right back! Truly, what did we do to deserve dogs!?
