There aren’t many things that send a heart soaring quite like hugs. And who better to get them from this Valentine’s Day than dogs!
Louboutina, the dog hugs everyone she meets! The now famous Golden Retriever spends around 2 hours a day hugging people she meets on her walk in the streets of New York city.
It all started around Valentine’s Day in 2014, when the pooch began holding hands with her human just after he had been through a heartbreak.
“She started sitting up and grabbing my hands with both of her paws, and then crossing the other paw over her paw, I remember joking with my friends, ‘At least I have someone to hold hands with during Valentine’s.’”
This Dog Hugs Everyone!
As days passed by Louboutina grew so fond of spreading warmth through hugs that Fernandez realized that this gift is too good to be kept to himself alone.
“It’s just not a regular walk, It’s a walk with hugging. A lot of people say she’s made their day… Like, if they had a bad day at work, maybe that’s just what they needed.” ~Fernandez-Chavez
When was the last time you hugged a dog? (And while we are at, Did you kiss your dog today?)
