Hugging your Dobe?

I know this may sound like a silly question, but how often do y'all hug your Dobes, if at all, and do they like it?

Toro lets out the equivalent of a little doggie "sigh" when I wrap my arms around him and give him a gentle squeeze.

I read somewhere that dogs don't really "relate" to hugs by nature, but what if they're used to it from puppyhood?

My Obedience trainer does alot with massaging her dogs

I do alot of touching (hugging, rubbing and ect.) with Hero I think they need that kind of stuff. I even rub her feet and she loves it (Pressure Points). Hero will put her head on my shoulder and I'll hug her.

yeah duchess loves hugs too...she will put her head over my shoulder...and give me kiss...usually if i hug her in a sitting postition she will flop to the ground on her side so i can lay down and hug her lol
from what I learned in my massage class...touch is the most important and the only sense things could not live without...so I try to pet and hug duchess alot....who knows maybe it makes them live longer :)
