Those that are fortunate enough to have a four-pawed best friend in their life will fully appreciate how they can turn a bad day into a good one through plenty of hugs and love the moment you walk through the front door – particularly if they’ve got a set of fluffy cheeks that you just can’t help but give a squeeze.
Not being able to resist giving an adorable dog a squeeze is no joke either, the urge is very much real and the reason why can be backed up by science. According to this study, when we see something so cute we can’t process it we are overcome with emotion, which our body turns into aggression. It’s these emotions that provoke us to eventually playfully squish puppies cheeks as a sign of affection and who can blame anyone when they’re as cute as these pups!
