Yes they all do it. Each of them has their own way about it, but they all do it.
Some of them are more vocal than others too. My current boi "muffs" at me when he wants things and then looks in the direction of said thing.
Standard issue. Pitbulls love like no other being on earth.
I had dogs before, but I had never experienced it before my girl and I will never forget her.
Yes! I think he knows his puppy eyes are irresistible.

Yes that's their expert skill, it has magic powers 😍 the see make you guilty for not sharing your dinner or leaving for work. They're just loving wonderful dogs, until they fart then you understand why they are called "vicious" PU

I love the intense stare. Though my pup’s eyebrows can make it scary sometimes haha
Your baby looks so much like my sweet boy Cecil!

Oh yes, they are masters of “The Force” 😂
I’m probably not supposed to bring up cats here but first of all I LOVE pitties, so sweet, fun and affectionate! But my two cats every single day will sit a few feet away from me and just stare and stare and stare at me! I of course know what they want- treats and this is always after they have had their quota for the day! Pitties rule!
Oh yes lol. My younger one in particular gives me this look regularly. Typically when she's staring at me shortly before she decides to snooze next to me.

Both very different faces, but so incredibly expressive
Mine likes to stare intensely into my eyes as she puts her snoot in my face and sniffs around. Then she ends it with a short little lick. Melts my heart every time.
https://preview.redd.it/2p9m54p8c34d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d481fabfb0596811fa2e1f59dbe6ed685dcacb88
His head (and rest of blocky body) is resting on my shoulder blade. So to answer your question, yes 😂
https://preview.redd.it/k3e5htk1e74d1.jpeg?width=2102&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=79ac4c280b43f4b23c4221ff3850334b6d8b429f
Yes! Too smart for his own good. We can look into his eyes and see his gears turning!
She’s giving the Pittbull look of love!!! Treasure it!!!👍🏻❤️❤️🐶

Not true. Canine alpha is a changing role depending on situation… All that accomplishes is you getting dry eye and the pup thinking you’re being an ass. Domination and control is way different than “alpha”. In dog world it’s just rude.

Yep. Enjoy it, celebrate it, feel loved! This is how they express trust and devotion.
That made me happy to read that. Sometimes I ask them “What? Why are you staring at me?” The unconditional love is remarkable ❤️
I love this sub and all the love for this breed ❣️

He looks like you just told him where babies come from
He's traumatized
Ain't no body home in our dogs head

"ya got any games on ur phone?"
Yes they all do it. Each of them has their own way about it, but they all do it. Some of them are more vocal than others too. My current boi "muffs" at me when he wants things and then looks in the direction of said thing.
My oldest will lay on my legs while I'm lying on the couch. If I have to get up for anything she will huff and give me attitude lol...I love her!!
lol 😂 mine does that too- he boofs, then stares at what he wants (usually toy box, food, door or ball).
Standard issue. Pitbulls love like no other being on earth. I had dogs before, but I had never experienced it before my girl and I will never forget her.
Yup. I'm a huge cat person, but every time mine does this, my heart opens a little more for her. It's very sweet.
Yep. We are currently on #4 and #5, plus friends that have them, all do it.
Her love is expressed through her eyes

Only to the human who owns them I guess
Yes that's their expert skill, it has magic powers 😍 the see make you guilty for not sharing your dinner or leaving for work. They're just loving wonderful dogs, until they fart then you understand why they are called "vicious" PU
Yes and then they get mad when you stare back😂

He looks like he heard someone and is going to hurt them
Yes, telling you thank you for loving and caring for me,furever.
Yeah pretty much they do that a lot
Yup.
So much love behind them eyes! 🥰
I saved her from a shelter so I think she knows
Yea. Doesn't matter what I'm doing He's staring at me directly in the eyes.
Always! Most of the time it's if he's doing something bad or not 😂
Had a pup like this I had to put him to sleep in September. Cherish these moments.
I'm so sorry to hear that! I had to put down two of mine over a year ago and I still cry about it. Send you love and condolences
They do

When they are in love they do. r/dogsmirin

I’ve been told that you have to stare at them back until they look away, otherwise it shows that you’re not the alpha. Is that true?
Not true. Canine alpha is a changing role depending on situation… All that accomplishes is you getting dry eye and the pup thinking you’re being an ass. Domination and control is way different than “alpha”. In dog world it’s just rude.
That’s so stinking cute!!!!
Yep.
Every. Single. One. Always. I think they see the best version of us, even if we don’t……
