Is it normal to love dogs more than humans?

Mostly.Normal for most people

Yes, it’s normal to feel more affection or trust toward dogs than toward people. Dogs can feel wonderfully uncomplicated, and loving them deeply doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with you.

A lot of people find dogs easier to love: they’re affectionate, reliably happy to see you, and don’t make awkward small talk. If people have let you down, it can feel especially comforting to be around an animal that offers companionship without all the human complications.

You don’t have to rank your love like it’s a competition, either. It’s fine to adore dogs and still care about people; just pay attention if avoiding human connection is making you lonely or getting in the way of relationships you actually want.
