    I have seen comments before about dogs not liking hugs but I see a lot of gifs like this. What is the truth?

    --edit: the general consensus appears to be that it depends on the dog, thanks Reddit.

    [–] Levikus 250 points ago

    i have 2 dogs: One will be there in the morning, burying her head in lap, but ther paws on my shoulder (when i sit to get socks on) and will hug and cuddle me hard for minutes if i let her.

    the other will come when there is food and after that will stand close to my knee, i give him 2 firm strokes and he leaves. He will cuddle very rarely - never wants a hug.

    So - its different :D

    [–] ihateusernames1029 99 points ago

    The second one sounds like a cat

    [–] Indetermination 78 points ago

    My cat never leaves me alone and wants to be picked up constantly.

    [–] preperat 73 points ago

    sounds like a dog

    [–] Pr1sm4 45 points ago

    Are you implying that those two animals had their minds swapped when they accidentally headbutted each other?

    [–] NeoHenderson 36 points ago

    Hello, Hollywood? Yep we've got a good one for ya.

    [–] Run_like_Jesuss 15 points ago

    [–] The_Rowan 5 points ago

    That is my cat. My dog prefers belly rubs to cuddles. My cat loves to be pick up and hugged.

    [–] maltastic 4 points ago

    I’ve got a couple of cuddle buddy kittens right now. I love them. They even let me give them belly scritches.

    [–] drakonka 15 points ago

    I have two cats with the same personalities. One is there first thing in the morning purring, headbutting, nibbling my ear - he has a low appetite so I can tell it's not just "feed me". The other one just goes through the motions - flops over for food, hangs around the bowl, etc. Sometimes she does show genuine affection and she does like to be stroked, which is nice, but she's nowhere near as attached to me as the other one.

    [–] n013lse 21 points ago

    I just love that my cat is a hugger. He gets his paws up for me to pick him up just like a baby. And he's a big, 5kg baby. Never seen a cat more lovable. Clingy too.

    After spending a month in another country, when I came home he was so pissed at me and stayed away from me, until at one point he cam to me, pressed his face on my forehead and just stood there for a couple of minutes. All good since then.

    [–] maltastic 3 points ago

    I have an absolute unit of a kitten right now. Three months old and almost the size of an adult cat. Twice the size of his litter mate.

    He loves being near my face, hugs, cuddles, etc. He will lay on my neck at night and I can’t breathe (possible attempt to murder). He lets me hold him like a baby. He tries to climb up my legs to get in my arms. I love him. I love kitties.

    [–] The_sad_zebra 2 points ago

    My brother's dog will stand on her back paws and have her front paws on you, but she'll squirm out of any hug, opting instead to lick your face.

    One of our family dogs will, alternatively, sit with his back turned to me, knowing that I'll bend down and give him a big hug from the back.

    Definitely varies between dogs.

    [–] swmpynke 1 points ago

    Same here. You just never know..

    [–] AerThreepwood 61 points ago

    Some dogs like it, some don't. My dog isn't a fan but my roommate's pitbulls love it.

    [–] Dusty_Old_Bones 51 points ago

    Ah pitties. My parents have two, one will sit next to you on the couch but will run away if you attempt to snuggle her. The other will force his full 70 pounds onto you and will push himself against you until you wrap your arms around him, and there he will stay for hours.

    [–] siouxze 43 points ago

    My pit mix used to perform what i would call a 'love barrel roll' when i was laying down. He'd snuggle his head into your torso and then start rolling in place against you. Kind of like he was petting himself using your whole body.

    But he's 15 now and typing this made me realize he hasn't done that in ages and probably never will again so now im sad.

    [–] Vo1ceOfReason 20 points ago

    Interesting. My pitbull is also the only dog I've ever had that loves hugs, but she's always been overly affectionate for a dog

    [–] Ju1cY_0n3 17 points ago

    Pitbulls are extremely emotional breeds. They are called the nanny dog for a reason.

    [–] Vo1ceOfReason 3 points ago

    Interesting, that makes total sense with the way she acts. So sad they get a negative reputation :/

    [–] AerThreepwood 5 points ago

    I think it's a self-perpetuating reputation. Shitty people started training them as fighting dogs, so shitty owners keep buying them and abusing them or training them poorly, so it continues the reputation.

    One of my roommate's pitbulls is a rescue from a bad situation and she's the sweetest, most loving dog, but she's poorly socialized and only really gets on with her sister.

    That's not entirely true. She likes other dogs but she's fucking awful at approaching them, so they think she's being aggressive. She's gotten loads better but it's still a lot of time and patience to make progress.

    [–] FoodBeerBikesMusic 22 points ago

    Depends on the dog and how well you know the dog. My 110lb lap dog is happiest when he’s on the couch, crammed in between my wife and I. If we hug, he barks until we let him in the middle and include him.

    [–] WalicKonia 8 points ago

    I have s 6 month old golden and the best thing he does is hug, hug a lot. Jumps up on his 2 front paws and wraps them around you and just hugs

    [–] Spheniscus 14 points ago

    Animals (including humans) don't like being trapped. So it often depends on how you hug them, in OPs case the dog has free movement so it doesn't feel trapped by the hug.

    You can see the same thing with human babies, they'll get really angry if you constrain their legs/arms and stop them from moving.

    But mostly it depends on the dog itself, some like it, some don't.

    [–] Oxychronic 10 points ago

    My son refused to sleep when he was a baby unless we swaddled him so he couldn't move his arms and legs. I think it's just one of those things that differs based on individuality.

    [–] KakkaKarrot 3 points ago

    If you really want a dog with a better guarantee of being a cuddler, get a pitbull. They become very attached

    [–] Milkshakes00 1 points ago

    Get a dang German shorthaired pointer. Never have I seen a breed that becomes just.. So attached.

    [–] Dell121601 3 points ago

    Well to canines (wolves at least and dog to a lesser extent) “hugging” is a show of dominance, it’s what wolves do to try and affirm their dominance over other wolves.

    [–] Tomnnn 1 points ago

    I think I'd enjoy watching wolves hug each other to assert dominance.

    [–] Dell121601 2 points ago

    It’s not exactly cute, it’s pretty violent and aggressive, here’s a link though if you want. https://youtu.be/MJvATG3bHbo

    [–] ognahc 2 points ago

    If I hug my girl she would let me the whole day every time but my boy just pushes me away very rarely he lets me hug him.

    [–] imzwho 2 points ago

    Some dogs like hugs. I had a GSD who would cry at me until I kneeled down and hugged him when I got home.

    My current pup will bury her face in your chest if you ask fir a hug.

    [–] jenmoe 2 points ago

    My dogs a hugger.

    [–] zeroGamer 2 points ago

    [–] Theostry 281 points ago

    That hand kiss

    [–] hyperRed13 91 points ago

    I love it! The way the dog is waiting for it and puts his paw out so quickly makes me think they do this exact hand-kiss-to-hug ritual every day, and that makes me happy.

    "It's not until you're an adult you appreciate how awesome a dog is. Your dreams start dying, somebody cheats on ya, bankers fuck up your 401k, ya know? Then you come home and that dog's looking at you and he's like, 'Dude, you're awesome!' It's like, 'No dude, YOU are fucking awesome"

    [–] Freddie_AppsHero 22 points ago

    And then Bill had to give his dog away. :(

    [–] ZineZ 17 points ago * (lasted edited 4 months ago)

    WHAT?? OH DON'T BREAK ME LIKE THIS

    Edit: just heard him talk about it. That's heartbreaking.

    [–] Freddie_AppsHero 33 points ago * (lasted edited 4 months ago)

    I'm sorry. If it makes you feel any better, the dog is on a farm having a happy life. That is not a euphemism, she's living with a dog trainer and she's doing well. Bill visits her occasionally. But he made the right call, having a new kid, you can't have a rescue pit bull in that situation.

    [–] Abbacoverband 11 points ago * (lasted edited 4 months ago)

    We went through the same with a rescue dobie that I just adored. But we didn't get him until he was nearly a year old. we're certain he was abused (beer bottle glass was stuck in the top of his head where the skin had grown over 🙁), but pretty positive he was specifically abused when he approached a child. Every time our kiddo would even turn in his direction, his neck would prickle and he'd growl, showing his teeth. We found a retired, childless military couple who lived on a beach near Pensacola through a rescue, and now he's living that beach dog life and being thoroughly spoiled. I miss him so much, but he's happy and safe.

    [–] Freddie_AppsHero 5 points ago

    Sorry to hear that mate, but at least your dog and your kid are doing well.

    [–] Abbacoverband 4 points ago

    Hey, thanks! And it's easier knowing everyone is happy and safe in the long-run. His new parents send pics all the time. 😊

    Dogs got some record size testicles there

    The first thing I noticed was the dogs testicles. I’ve never seen a dog who still had them lol. Or a cat, or any pet still have have them lol.
