Hrafn comes up and wraps his neck around mine and presses his snout into my neck and sighs.
He’ll stand there doing that forever, until I start to get a neck ache.
I think it’s as close to a “hug” as he can get.

Our last dog was a Boston Terrier mix that loved to ‘hug’. She would crawl right on top of you and put her head on your shoulder by your neck and force you to hug her. The one we have now, a 50 lb. mix breed, will force herself under your arm to make you hug her.
Our chocolate has the habit of *sighing*; never had a dog that did that. It’s endearing.
