The most lovable dog of all.

Buddy is a gem. He is wonderful with the new puppy, and so very loving with everyone. Today, he gave us a moment that was truly worth sharing. It is a slow and lazy Saturday afternoon being spent just hanging out at home.

Buddy decided that he wanted a little attention so he climbed on to a chair

and gave his momma a hug.

When I saw your title I thought for sure I would see a picture of my pittie Mia. She is the world's biggest lap dog! Or maybe she just feels that way.

Shannon - I had a feeling that there would be many, many dog lovers out there who would disagree with my title, and that's a good thing.

Chris - yes, Muzzy didn't look like she was terribly amused by Buddy's stunt.

Thanks for all the comments - it was a very sweet moment.

I Hope the kitty is training that dog properly. Cats are superior animals and deserve to be treated as such.

Cats rule, dogs drool.

That second picture brought tears to my eyes. Weird, huh?
If I were you, I'd frame it. Love, simply.

I love the first photo -- it looks like an unusual kind of circus, with the cat waiting to perform! I think that the more they hang around us, the more like people they become. Give them all a big hug for me -- our venerable friends for life!

Boxers really are wonderful dogs. They are extremely people oriented, and love being with their pack. Buddy is the first boxer I've really gotten to know, and I have to say that he has won my heart. Not only is he eager to give hugs, but he also loves to dance.

Thanks so much for the comments - I'm glad I was able to share this very sweet moment. Oh, and Nancy, no that's not weird at all. And you're right - this would be a great photo to frame.
