My Dog Always Follows Me To The Bathroom - 5 Reasons Why

Anyone who has had a canine companion at some point would have found themselves asking a very crucial question; why on Earth does my dog follow me into the bathroom?!

Depending on the dog and the situation, the same dog might be staring at you for several reasons! Through this article we give you 5 main reasons your pooch is probably staring at you.
