Our dogs deserve all the love and affection we can give them, which is why there’s a special day dedicated just to hugging them. It’s April 10: National Hug Your Dog Day.

Hugging your dog releases a hormone in both pup and person called “oxytocin,” informally referred to as “the cuddle hormone.” Not only does a good tight squeeze strengthen your bond, it shows your pet that you care. Today is a day to celebrate your dog for all they do.

So grab your dog and give them an extra cuddle today!

 

 

I don't have a dog, I had 2 when my children were young and they were so loved. So to all of you pet parents happy hug your dog day !

I no longer have any furry friends.  If anyone cares to do so, please give your pooch an extra hug from me ❤️🐶❤️

@PhilaLady1,  Sunny was very happy to receive your hug.

Re: National Hug Your Dog Day

My tiny Teddy Buttons ( 6 lbs) gets carried around, but more than usual today.

He is the naughtiest, tiniest Dog I have ever had and I adore him.

I am hopeless.
