A colleague sent a forward titled “Instructions for Properly Hugging a Baby” with five photos of a dog hugging a cutie in sunshine yellow.  We don’t know who originated the photos and text, so please let us know!

1. First, find a baby.

2. Second, be sure that the object you found was indeed a baby by employing classic sniffing techniques.

3. Next you will need to flatten the baby before actually beginning the Hugging process. 

4. The “paw slide”: Simply slide paws around baby and prepare for possible close-up.

5. Finally, if a camera is present, you will need to execute the difficult and patented “hug, smile, and lean” so as to achieve the best photo quality.
