I think the real problem is he said no hugging whatsoever, and that just doesn't make sense to me. People who should get his message are just blowing him off now.lifewithbeaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13951191178911920247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7009262638280150202.post-48209069078608781932016-05-01T09:37:53.574-04:002016-05-01T09:37:53.574-04:00I'm paying that "news" no attention ...I'm paying that "news" no attention either. Gretel likes to hug me. She asks for it and I give her the attention in the way that she wants. Now, there are times when I initiate hugging her. Some of that time it's clear that she's really just not that into me. Ha, ha. I just do it anyway? I don't think there is a reason to freak out because she shows a little uncertainty. She trusts me and it doesn't traumatize her. I would never let a stranger, or someone she clearly didn't like, do that to my dog though.

So I guess, when it blew up online it didn't surprise me. But I just felt the need to say something because I thought his "proof" was a little ridiculous. <br /><br />He's mostly likely right, and I agree it's good it raises awareness. But it was a bit nonsense to me.lifewithbeaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13951191178911920247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7009262638280150202.post-18167896915167649972016-04-29T14:38:21.629-04:002016-04-29T14:38:21.629-04:00Great post, and I really was surprised how much Co...Great post, and I really was surprised how much Coren's "study" took off this week. I don't mind if it raises awareness of dog body language, but it's far from any sort of conclusive research.<br /><br />Like you say it's important to remember that dogs are individuals, and for many a hug from their owner is a lot different than from a stranger.
