    This entire “study” is BS. There was no research done. The guy who preformed the “study” merely looked at a group of photographs. This is ridiculous- more so that it has spread across the internet as somehow being viable.

    I can’t get the article to load. Says link isn’t working.
    But
    My 10 year old chiweenie loves attention and to be petted. But he doesn’t cuddle and doesn’t want hugs.
    My 1 year old pug will hug us on his own, all day long if we let him. Sometimes we ask for huggies and he jumps up for hugs. We put him down and he immediately climbs up and hugs us over and over.

    Just like people some dogs like hugs some don’t.
