My family has owned a dog grooming shop for 31 years and I can assure you, your groomer is probably shedding tears of joy as well :-p

I do have to admit, though, that it always puts a smile on my face when the puppers are picked up at the end of the day. It’s all brainless joy all the time. Not many people get to spend their days making people happy while also barely having to work with other people. It’s win-win.

Since they are pack animals that regularly communicate their their emotional state to each other, it seems rather human-centric to assume that they developed this signaling behavior as a result of domestication.
