A pet’s greeting is pure, unfiltered joy. Your pet does not fake excitement. When it is exciting to see you, it really is. Your pet cares for you.
A pet’s presence makes “home” feel emotionally safer and more welcoming. You are not as lonely as when you were there alone. Every time you come home, your pet is happy to see you. The daily reunion becomes a buffer against loneliness or burnout. The homecoming is a moment of connection that doesn’t require words, just presence. It reminds us we are wanted and needed, even after a hard or messy day.
