        @USATODAY If you inappropriately hug any breed of dog there is a likelihood of a bite. It is the dog's way of saying "back off!"

        @USATODAY Dogs hate being hugged. It makes them feel trapped, regardless of breed. There are better ways to show affection. Still, poor kid.

        @USATODAY dogs don't think like us, we think a hug is a hug, you try to hug a dog that doesn't know you, they defend themselves

        @USATODAY "after trying to hug a pit bull" I have to wonder if this would have made news if it were a Cocker Spaniel?
