Dogs Don't Like Hugs and Kisses

 They will certainly tolerate them if they were handled and hugged as small puppies, and they want to please those that are closest to them. But, they especially don't like hugs from kids they don't know. This is a common cause of  dog bites to the face.  

 

We often hear our little patients in the ER say, " I just wanted to give him a hug."

DOGS DO NOT LIKE HUGS AND KISSES. Especially, from kids they don't know.
