Best Answer

Dogs follow you closely because of puppys' propensity for propinquity.

(Dogs like to be near things) Dogs are enough related to wolves that they have an instinct to stick together in groups - even with their human pack mates. This is a survival response, as dogs in a group are less likely to be attacked, or if they are attacked, they are more likely to survive.
