My dog is a five-year-old rottweiler/pit bull mix (I heard rotts are vocal)). My parents got him to keep my Dad company because he's an invalid and stays up all night. Instead, he only loves me. He's really nice to anyone, but he definitely loves me the most. His obsession is very obvious.
Admittedly, I'm also his number one fan, so I'm totally okay with him stalking me, but what concerns me is that, whenever I hug him, he emits a long, high-pitched whine, over and over until everyone goes crazy. When he does it, he's usually wagging his tail, but it really does sound like he's miserable. He always stops after I stop hugging or petting him.
He only does it when it's me touching him, but I don't think anyone else ever really hugs him, because he won't give anyone else the time of day, so I'm hoping that this sort of behavior is normal for a dog. I don't think he's very possessive of me because he likes my boyfriend very much (even more than my parents), and the three of us (boyfriend, dog and me) are constantly together and the two of them never have conflicts.
What do you think causes him to do this? He also often does it when I pet him, but not every time, and sometimes he even does it when I talk to him. He definitely never whines when my parents pet or talk to him.
