Golden Retriever Is On A Mission To Hug Everyone She Meets On The Streets of New York City
Some dogs are content with a quick walk, but Louboutina, a Golden Retriever in Chelsea, has turned the streets of New York City into her own little meet-and-greet. She has become a local celebrity for stopping strangers in their tracks and wrapping them up in the kind of hug that makes people smile instantly.
Her owner, Fernandez-Chavez, says the habit started around Valentine’s Day in 2014, when Loubie began holding his hand after a breakup. Since then, the affectionate pup has spent hours each day greeting people on the street, and her Instagram following keeps growing along with her reputation.
Now the question is simple, if you are in New York, would you be ready for a hug from the city’s most famous Golden Retriever?

“It’s just not a regular walk… It’s a walk with hugging”
