They can’t hug you back, it’s awkward.
“They can’t hug you back, it’s awkward.”
Oh, yes they can, in their own way. I have two Australian Shepherds and the female is extremely affectionate. If I am standing, she will wrap her paw around my leg as a hug. If I am sitting, she will wrap her paw around my arm. When she is in the mood, she invites me to give her a full body hug that can last several minutes. She sits and leans against me when we are on the sofa, or lays across my lap. My boy dog loves to be petted, but not restrained.
