I think it's to do with the salt on our skin. Licking can also be affectionate though. It's a 'caring' thing for dogs to do. They lick each other to care for each other and i think that they also lick us to care for us. My dog often licks my legs when i come out of the shower. I think he's trying to dry me as for dogs, sometimes being wet can be worrying as being wet can make them ill.

Well, dogs are pack animals which means they're accustomed to being part of a family group. Most owners are alpha members of the pack to dogs and so to show their submissiveness they lick you. So, yes they do it because they 'love' you.

Is because of the salt in your sweat...But they may lick your face as kisses especially if your making 'mwah' kissy noises!

I think its something to do with the salt on your skin, particularly the feet!

don't get me incorrect, i admire my canines. yet i do no longer enable them to lick my lips or the interior of my mouth. i do no longer fancy the assumption of having a canines tongue that they use to bathe their bits and products on or in my mouth. i do no longer concepts the occasional chin or cheek lick, yet it is it.
