The Look of Love

Signs that your dog loves you:

A soft gaze, "a soft or sweeping tail wag, a light pant, relaxed ears, and normal-sized pupils.

Many dogs are more prone to loving gazes early in the morning when serotonin levels are highest. Your dog is unlikely to look lovingly into your eyes when she’s playing, eating, or training—so assume that she’s got a different motivation if that’s what’s going on."
