Tell that to my chocolate lab. As soon as I sit in my recliner she jumps on to my lap and goes through a head rubbing routine with me while I hold her in both arms. When she’s done with that, she sleeps in my lap until I get up.

Sounds like dog personalities, proclivities, and training/socialization have plenty of diversity to go ‘round...

Well, he is a bit of a snuggler and likes to drape on people.

Walter the ranch dog loves his hugs. A Schnauzer/Poodle mix with a Schnauzer cut, he’s quite aggressive when he wants that sort of attention. Boundless energy!

Analyzing the scanned photos, does the psychology professor and neuropsychological researcher Stanley Coren actually have knowledge of a live dog?
What about kitties?

Our chihuahua/dachshund mix puppy whimpers with steadily increasing insistence if my wife or I aren't hugging, holding or cuddling him, 23 hours out of every 24... so: go figure. ;)

They do like being carried, fed by hand and having the tummy rubbed.

In my experience, ALL dogs like being scratched behind the ears... that’s my go-to move with a new dog I meet. Usually I do that, and I have a friend forever :)
To: Blue Jays
One thing though, don’t scratch them with your fingernails, cuz you can hurt them, I do it with my knuckles, and they like that better.
To: SMGFan
My ‘girls’ sleep with me. They do not like hugs or my lying with my arm draped across their torso. They do however, like to lie stretched out with their back against my back or, with their heads resting on my belly or buttocks, depending how I am sleeping. (I could stand to lose some weight!)
To: Malsua
My Rottweiler likes to sleep next to me like that.Sheldon gets his back parallel to mine then pushes into me.But he keeps his head toward my feet so he can keep an eye on the bedroom door.Always on guard.

But I found that both cats and dogs do enjoy gentle stroking and scratching behind their ears.
People can tell whether an animal likes something or not, just by paying attention to their reaction.
