Save your face. Save a dog’s life. April 10 is approaching. “Hug your dog day.” Do not hug dogs. Do not encourage this. Do not propagate this. Dogs do not always understand hugging. Shelters receive more dogs surrendered because they bit someone while being hugged than you might imagine. Research this yourself. Currently: Gracy #A1951166 - an 11-year-old Sweetheart is now jailed at a shelter and ONLY TO RESCUE GROUPS because someone thought it cute to hug her. “While it's only natural to want to embrace your loved ones, it's not always a good idea to hug your canine friends. "Hugging is a form of handling, and handling can lead to fear, anxiety, and stress in some dogs," says Dr. Vanessa Spano, DVM at Behavior Vets. -Mar 13, 2020” #dog #lovedogs #mustlovedogs #saveface #shelterdog #rescuedogsofinstagram #rescuedog #nohugging #stop #nationalhugyourdogday #dogbehavior #dogsofinstagram #dogs #dogsofinsta #doglife #doglover (at Friends of North Central Shelter - Los Angeles Animal Services) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMzt2a5DKc7/?igshid=1m38vbctchxyf
