As an introvert with dogs, this is spot on. I also think that for some introverts, part of the introversion has a social anxiety aspect where we’re over analyzing every interaction, which is also exhausting. With dogs you have none of that. It’s relaxing because of how straightforward it is. That isn’t to say “replace people with dogs”, we all need human relationships. Just that it’s sometimes nice to have a furry friend who doesn’t judge you.
