Louboutina, a golden retriever from New York City, spends about two hours each day hugging people she meets on her walks.
This comforting habit began in 2014 after its owner, César Fernández-Chávez, suffered a breakup.
The dog’s affectionate demeanor has made her a local celebrity, providing emotional comfort to those she meets and spreading joy throughout the community. Many people find her hugs to be a bright spot in their day, highlighting the profound emotional impact that dogs can have on humans.
