when I come home after being gone . when I say “Give me a hug” she just kinda puts her paws on my shoulders and then gets down. But when she’s welcoming me home, she puts her paws over my shoulders and squeezes while stretching her back so she’s pressed as close as possible. And she’ll hold on for the exact amount of time necessary for a perfect hug. To be honest, she gives better hugs than most humans. I think she might just be a person in a dog body.
