I had a dog that could tell when I was stoned and then would put his paw on my arm until I blew a hit in his face. Then he’d lay down and watch cartoons with me.
My dog could tell when I was on some ketamine for the first (and likely last lol) time
Can dogs tell when I need hugs?
in my personal experience, yes!
Oh great! I already stress out thinking that every human knows I’m high, now I need to be paranoid about my dog knowing I’m high too?!?
No need to be paranoid about it. Your dog knows.
Dogs are 4 legged mass spectrometers. They can tell if anything is wrong with your metabolism and they can tell when you have dope in your system. It upsets them because it is unfamiliar.
Dogs are naturally narcs. If you ever had multiple dogs and one breaks the rules they will tell on the other dog and get upset for the rule breaking. We had a dog that would come up to us frantic whining when her dumb brother would get out of the yard, eat trash, whatever it was she just knew it was a rule on her own.
They also love following rules/routine/discipline, so in turn fascism. I joke but it is partially true. If dogs ever could walk and talk they would 100% all be cops, boarder patrol or ICE.
Partially why I’m more of a cat guy. Cats are more anarchists/communist in nature.
it’s not unfamiliar some dogs. It could be all a dog knows.
Take this with a grain of salt because im not a scientist and this is just conjecture but Im fairly certain dogs can smell the chemistry of drugs in your system but they have no concept of “drug” so they would likely know but not know if that makes sense
My dog knew if I was high cause I smelled weird and acted kinda weird but he had no idea what any of that meant so he would just stare at me–that said I was doing a lot of acid that summer and maybe him staring at me “weird” was just me being on acid…
iirc dogs actually get an oxytocin spike when making eye contact with a well liked human. Hang on a second…
Edit: ya
A buddy of mine had a yellow lab that would run away if you let him sniff your beer
Mine runs when I let her sniff my sharpie
Yeah you thinking he was staring at you almost certainly was the acid.
However, you should carefully heed whatever words your dog said to you while on acid. Those were real.
