When
their
owners
cry
, tears are not the only indicator
of
distress.
Dogs
know when
we
are sad.
They
want to comfort us.
They lick
us because
they
have learned
licking
themselves is soothing, and
they
feel better.

Dogs are empathetic not only to their owners but also to other humans when they are crying. ... Dogs know when we are sad. They want to comfort us. They lick us because
they have learned licking themselves is soothing, and they feel better
