What is the fascination with Dogs and people’s ears?

523 viewsOther

As someone who regularly interacts with dogs, through volunteer work, I have noticed that a considerable number of those that I interact with, have a fascination with wanting to lick the area around people’s ears, and occasionally, inside them.

It seems to be a repeated thing, not just with shelter dogs, but with those whom I interact in public with too. So is there a reason dogs seem to enjoy licking human ears? I am not aware of anything which could lead them to do this, and even the people I volunteer with, are stumped too.

My dog likes licking my cat’s ears on the rare occasions she lets her. Doesn’t go after mine though. Those cat ears must hit that much better.
