Dogs hate hugs, according to a UBC psychology study, USA Today reported.
UBC’s Stanley Coren, a canine expert, looked at more than 200 photos of dogs being hugged, and found the dogs showed signs of stress, such as visible whites of the eyes and the animal turning its head away, in more than 81 per cent of the photos.
