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.

“If your dog licks your ears, they may be signalling a high level of comfort. Mutual grooming is common among pack members, and you may be perceived as just one of the pack. Licking your ears may also be a sign of love, care and respect. In other words, when your dog licks your ears, they’re complimenting you!”
