These Heartwarming Photos of Dogs Hugging Their Humans Will Make You Want to Smoosh Your Pup!

There is nothing like coming home to a smiling face and wagging tail after a long day. No, we’re not talking about your spouse or roommate – we mean your dog (just in case the whole tail thing didn’t tip you off)! If you have had the experience of caring for a dog, you know how incredibly amazing it can be. There is always someone to cheer you up when you’re blue, make you laugh with their silly quirks, and offer a helpful paw when it comes to cleaning up spilled snacks.

Really, where would we even be without our pups! Now, we’re not going to make you dig into the memories of those dark times B.D. (before dog), but let’s just say we are much happier thanks to our four-legged besties. Why? Well, besides always being willing to smother us with smooches, our dogs are always there with a giant hug when we need it. Heck, sometimes they’re the ones who need hugs, but either way we will take a big puppy embrace any time of day!

In honor of the awesome love that we have for our pups, check out these pictures of classic dog-human hugs.
