Contrary to what many are saying here, I do think bp can show affection; just not to the level that humans do. They can associate you with warmth, saftey, and comfort. To get to that point, you often have to earn their trust. The ability to distinguish you from other humans, trust you, and have positive associations with you (including warmth) is a kind of affection.
