My chocolate lab is the same way. She'll spin 360's up against me while I'm taking my shoes off and then she'll jump up into my lap as I'm watching the news. I couldn't ask for a sweeter dog.

Dogs are amazing. Everyday when I get home from work my dogs are always so excited to see me. And they’re always there even when you’re day sucks. I like cats too, but for different reasons.

Oh, so true. Indeed, if the day really sucked your dogs are likely to sense it and try to cheer you up. I've seen that twice in my life.
Many years ago my dad had to to to California to get his sister, who's come down with Alzheimer's, and bring her back to Illinois. He was totally drained and depressed when he got home. We had a Beagle, Buddy, who never wanted to be a lap dog. When he saw how miserable dad was, for the first and only time in his life, Buddy jumped into dad's lap and tried to cheer him up.
The dog who preceded my present pair, Amos, was a Black Lab. One day I came home from work, totally miserable, and, for the first and only time in his life, Amos jumped up onto the bed and tried to console me. Dogs are wonderful creatures, given by God to man as a little piece of himself.
