4. And you get a hug, and you get a hug, and you get a hug. Cute. Looks like mama wanted one too!

5. Actually short firm hugs done the same way every day

Are truly loved by animals and children. I know this because I call it hug therapy and do it to my animals and children I know. It is incredibly relaxing, comforting and reassuring to them. My cat actually comes and asks for them. All pets will, just like those baby goats did.

I’ve told many friends to do this and they’re always amazed at their pet’s reactions.

The way to do it si to hug firmly for a few seconds, then release your grip, then hug firmly again. Do this as long as they stay still and let them go when they move away.

Try it. It truly works wonders. Especially if your pets get high strung or nervous over something.

7. Our 2 Labs demand their hugs too.

Not just pets, they insist on getting hugged. Lucky kids, spoiled & loved.

8. It's a thing with pets, just like it is with people.

When you do it deliberately all your mammalian pets will love it. And they’ll all demand these hugs on their own.

I’m so happy I discovered this, because the therapy works both ways.
