“Hugging” to dogs is -not- the same as hugging to humans.

To a dog, it's aggression/dominance mounting behavior.

Possibly the most difficult thing for any dog to ‘learn’ is the bizarre human behavior of “hugging”.

In their world, it's a prelude to an attack by another dog.

It's a great credit to a dog's great intellect that they can learn to tolerate our freakishly alien/inappropriate body language yet we have a hard time learning theirs.

You are absolutely correct! Dogs are not human, with human emotions, and even though sometimes it seems like they are are, it's your imagination telling you that. In other words, don't ever hug someone else’s dog, especially a pitt bull.
