This Adorable Golden Retriever Loves to Hug Everyone She Meets

Those in need of a hug on this Valentine’s Day should probably make their way to New York City in the hope that they’ll be lucky enough to bump into Louboutina, NYC’s most loveable dog famous for giving out free hugs to everyone that she meets. Thanks to her loving nature Louboutina now has more than 58k people following her on Instagram, tuning in every day to see who the Golden Retriever shares a hug with next.

Each day she spends 2 hours going on long walks with her owner, 45-year-old Fernandez-Chavez although according to him it’s never a “regular walk” he told TheDodo, also adding that “a lot of people say she’s made their day… Like, if they had a bad day at work, maybe that’s just what they needed.”

The tradition of taking Loubie out and meeting strangers actually started around 3 years ago when on Valentine’s Day 2014 she started holding her owners hand not long after he just ended a relationship. ‘At least I have someone to hold hands with during Valentine’s,’ Chavez recalls telling his friends at the time. Understanding that it’s not just her owner that needs love now Louboutina spends her days spreading the love to others. Head over to her Instagram to see more.
