Loubie the Hugging Dog Gives Hugs to Strangers on the Streets of NYC

It has been said that there is nothing truer in this world than the love of a good dog. One NYC dog is certainly spreading the love!

Louboutina, or “Loubie” for short, is a 5-year old Golden retriever who spends much of her time alongside her human dad, Cesar, on streets of New York City, ready and ever-so-eager to give a little love to anyone who wants it – and who wouldn’t!?

Loubie is exceptionally sweet-natured, lovable, and oh-so-huggable, as evidenced by the many photographs of strangers having their day made with a simple gesture of love from a four-legged bundle of pure goodness.

Repost @chonakasinger most everything in the world is messed up right now, but at least there’s a nice doggie in chelsea that goes around hugging ppl ✨
