Little Boy Hugs Dog and Its Sweet Reaction Melts Hearts Everywhere

Experts in dog behavior often say that dogs don’t enjoy being hugged, but the dog in this video seems to love it more than ever.

A heartwarming video, shared by a mother, shows her son hugging his dog—and the dog hugging him right back, melting hearts everywhere.

“He always hugs back,” the mom shared.

While humans naturally express affection through hugging, dogs show their love differently since their legs aren’t built to wrap around others. Instead, dogs demonstrate affection through actions like “standing over,” where they place a leg over their human’s back or shoulder—likely what this dog is doing in the video.

We are constantly in awe of our furry friends. What did we do to deserve their unconditional love? This video is yet another reminder of how deeply loving and loyal dogs are to all of us.
