Kelly Conaboy · 04/26/14 10:00AM

A new study claims that dogs release the same "love hormone" (oxytocin) that humans do when they're excited about a new relationship. How sweet! Even more reason for your friend to get one! (You would, but sadly your apartment doesn't allow it.)

With dull eyes and open mouths, they crowd the streets and fill the restaurants.
