Rawhide Dog

Why does my dog give me his rawhide bones?

My dog is a boxer. He is very mild tempered. When I am sitting he will bring me his bone over and either drops it in my lap or at my feet. At first I thought he wanted to play fetch. I will toss it a few feet away and he will bring it back after about 2 or three times he stops bringing it back and lays down.

My dog does the same thing. This is a very good thing according to my trainer. He is "sharing" his bone with you, it is a sign that he trusts and loves you. In the wild dogs bring "gifts" to their pack leader. It also demonstrates that your dog knows his place, he is not dominate and sees you as the pack leader. Congratulations on raising a really good dog. When he gives you his bone take it. He will probably come back later but it is important for him to know that his gift has been accepted.
