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 will give me ear licks occasionally. Nowhere else, just the ears. It’s his way of saying “I am super happy to see you and that you are here”.
