Puppy Type
The owner of infinite affection — every moment with your partner is the most precious thing in the world. You want to go everywhere together, holding hands feels like winning the universe, and just being beside the person you love is all the happiness you need. In Lee's (1973) love typology this is "Mania" — passionate love that is intense yet pure — and this type scores highest on Hatfield & Sprecher's (1986) Passionate Love Scale (PLS).
Key Traits

Did You Know?
Hazan & Shaver's (1987) adult attachment research: the positive side of anxious attachment — high investment in the relationship and sensitivity — aligns directly with the Puppy type's affection pattern.
Reis et al.'s (2000) daily experience study found that couples with more "daily intimacy experiences" reported the highest overall relationship satisfaction — highlighting the positive effect of the Puppy type's focus on shared everyday moments.
Sbarra & Hazan's (2008) research showed that high attachment behaviors (physical closeness, proximity-seeking) contribute to reduced cortisol levels and improved immune function.

Relationships
The Puppy type is unmatched in the purity and warmth of their love, but learning "healthy distance" is essential. When your partner needs time alone, understand that as "recharging" rather than "not liking me." Respecting each other's space makes reunions feel even sweeter — and the relationship lasts longer.

Puppy Type Love — The Psychology of Infinite Affection
Understanding Manic Love
Lee's (1973) Mania love is a combination of Eros (passion) and Ludus (playfulness), but the Puppy type is defined by pure passion over play. This love shows intense focus and possessiveness toward a partner simultaneously, but when expressed healthily it becomes the warmest form of love there is.
The Proximity Effect and the Puppy Type
Festinger et al.'s (1950) proximity effect research shows that physical closeness strengthens liking and intimacy. The Puppy type's desire to "always be together" instinctively leverages this proximity effect — and it genuinely increases relationship satisfaction.
The Line Between Healthy Dependence and Codependency
Bowlby (1980) stated that healthy relational dependence means using a "secure base" to explore the world. Codependency, by contrast, means being unable to function without the other person. The Puppy type needs to recognize this boundary and aim for a relationship that is "better together" rather than "can't survive apart."

Management Guide
The Puppy type's core growth strategy is "building your own world." Step away from a life where your partner is everything — cultivate your own hobbies, friendships, and career. A person who is happy alone is even more captivating together. Start by setting aside at least one day a week that belongs entirely to you.
