Should we hug or kiss our dogs?

Another great article by Dr. Sophia Yin, this one about a book called "Smooch Your Pooch".  It is NOT advisable for anyone, kid or adult, to hug or kiss a dog -- quite often, this is how a dog bite arises.  This article talks about some great alternative ways to show affection to our dogs (such as trick training, playing fetch and going for a supervised walk), and how to read whether a dog is enjoying our physical affection or not.
