He can smell you - he knows his pack is still there, he's just doing it so that you feel included:-).

I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!
Only goofs & silliness. (:

So I learned from someone helping me train my dog to walk on a leash. They do this to read your subtle visual cues. Basically make sure they are headed where you are, seeking approval, and to make sure there is no danger around.
Domestic dogs have become very good at reading human body language as a means of survival and due to being pack animals.
They do this because they trust you to know what you are doing and checking in on your guidance.
I read that dogs are better at reading human body language and eye movement than our closest relatives, chimpanzees. The 30,000 years of domestication wasn't for nothing!
Well, ya remember that 1 time you weren't there? Yeah? Exactly. Gotta make sure you always there
