For dog lovers, there’s nothing better than a big, sloppy doggie kiss to make you smile. We’re not talking about a Turner and Hooch sized kiss where you need a real shower after the dog slobber shower, but a wet-nosed, tail-wagging smooch can instantly turn a frown upside down.
So, when Helping Paws teamed up with Ball State University to put up a doggie kissing booth at the Indiana State Fair, there were plenty of smiles from puckered up patrons. The purpose of the booth, which charged a buck per smacker during it’s 17-day run, was to raise money for shelter animals, as well as awareness.
Each of the kissing canines were adoptable pets looking for a forever home, just a few of the nation’s six to eight million animals that enter the shelter system every year.
The fair achieved record numbers, which is great for the amount of people that had the opportunity to pucker up with a pooch. For those of us who didn’t make it over in person, the Ball State Journalism department compiled this video with a few highlights so we could vicariously enjoy the love-fest virtually.
We can think of no better way to celebrate the modern age of technology than by watching videos of doggie kisses.

About training my dog not to lick my face…. If she licked or tried to lick I’d say ‘no’ or ‘don’t’ and put my hand between her face and mine. When she would just touch my nose or cheek with hers I’d praise her and give her a treat – after a while I’d praise and pet her because I didn’t want her to be food motivated. Eventually she stopped trying to lick my face. Though, she has her own personality and will, of course. So, sometimes she will sneak a lick in if she is super excited hah. I’m the only one that she doesn’t lick…everyone lets her, and she takes advantage of that. Haha.
Bums: face: gross !
