Whenever I read an article or someone says “dogs don’t like hugs”, I’m pretty sure that they’ve never met Sherman and Leroy. I understand that some dogs may not like hugs, just like some people don’t like hugs, but when a 170 pound dog walks up to you and rests his head on his shoulder, you give that dog a hug. Those hugs make my heart smile and I’m extremely thankful for them.
This November we’re celebrating the National Dog Show Presented by Purina with a very special #DogThanking program.
Join us this month and post a photo of why you are thankful for your dog on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook. Include the @Purina and #DogThanking and Purina will donate $1 to the AKC Canine Health Foundation (up to $75,000).
In science, progress is measured in small steps along the way to major discoveries. By consistently funding the most innovative research, the AKC Canine Health Foundation is realizing both small milestones and major breakthroughs in canine health.
I hope you’ll join us in spreading the #DogThanking love this November and hopefully you’ll be joining us in our annual tradition of watching the National Dog Show on Thanksgiving Day at noon on NBC! We might even see you because when you share a picture or video using #DogThanking and @Purina it might be aired during the show! I will literally spit turkey if I see one of you guys!
Dog shows and canine health! 2 of my favorite things on one of my favorite holidays! Does it get any better?!

Aww I love hugs too and luckily Kilo is a big pug hugger. He likes to put his little paws around my neck and hug. I think sometimes the pressure of a cuddle and hug relaxes him- affection certainly seems to make him very happy. We will definitely share a pic. What a great promotion.
