The Science of a Pitbull’s Love — Proven by MRI Studies
The Science of a Pitbull’s Love
How Your Dog’s Brain Proves They Truly Bond With You
At The Bully Bond Corp, we’ve always believed that power breeds aren’t just pets — they are family, guardians, and heart-healers.
Now, science confirms it. Through MRI scans and scent-based studies, researchers have found that when a dog smells their owner’s scent, the reward and pleasure centre of their brain lights up more than when they smell food, toys, or even other dogs.
The Science Behind the Bond
A famous study by Professor Gregory Berns (Emory University, USA) used fMRI brain scanners to observe how dogs reacted to different smells. Here’s what they found:
| Test Smell | Brain Reaction |
| Food | Moderate activation |
| Other dogs | Moderate activation |
| Owner’s scent | VERY high emotional activation ❤️ |
The part of the brain that lit up is the caudate nucleus — the same region linked to love, bonding, trust, and anticipation of reward in humans.

Why Powerbreed Owners Always Knew This
Pitbulls and other strong breeds have often been misunderstood. What science is finally showing… powerbreed owners have known all along.
They aren’t simply dogs with muscles. They are loyalists. They are emotionally intelligent. They are deeply bonded companions.
A pitbull doesn’t just wag a tail. It reads your stress. It waits for your voice. It guards your heart.
