Do Dogs Miss Us When We’re Gone? 

Yes, dogs miss us when we are gone! Even dogs who enjoy solitude or are more reserved notice and miss us when we leave—that’s why they get so excited when we come home. Many dogs will stand by windows, wait at the door, or spend their time listening intently for signs their humans are coming home. Some dogs are more dependent on their humans than others, but in the same way we think of our dogs as our family, they view us as family, too. 

Can Dogs Tell How Long Their Humans Have Been Gone?

Dog’s Heart-Melting Reaction to Reuniting with Her Human

No, dogs don’t know how long their humans have been gone. Dogs can sense the passage of time, but they don’t have a concrete understanding of minutes, hours, days, or weeks. Dogs are very present creatures, and are typically living moment to moment. In a dog’s mind, time passing is mostly measured by things like meal times, going to bed, or other routine behaviors, but they can’t measure time like humans can.
