If you own a dog, then you know how calling your pup a good boy is simply a must whenever he does something praise-worthy… or simply for existing.
And, of course, it needs to be accompanied by a high-pitched, cutesy voice. It’s okay… we all do it. I mean, saying it in a normal voice doesn’t just sit right.
It has also been proven that the dog’s brain has a dedicated area that shows more activity upon hearing an emotionally positive sound. [1] This means that speaking to them in a baby voice might actually make them happier and more reactive.
Well, many dog owners have already noticed that calling their dog a good boy provokes an adorable reaction that needs to be captured. Here are the 20 most adorable photos of good boys and girls that you must see.
