Louboutina, an adorable golden retriever from Chelsea, New York City, has gained fame for her heartwarming hugs. With over 58k Instagram followers, this sweet pup spends at least two hours daily offering warm embraces to people she meets on the streets.
Golden retrievers are known for their friendly and loving nature, making them ideal family companions. Louboutina, lovingly named after a French shoe designer, has taken her affectionate nature to a whole new level.
Owner Fernandez-Chavez, 45, describes their walks as anything but ordinary. It's a journey filled with hugs and genuine connections. Many people have shared that Louboutina's hugs have brightened their day, providing a much-needed source of comfort and joy after a long day at work.
The tradition of Loubie's hugs began in 2014 when Fernandez-Chavez went through a breakup. Louboutina started reaching out and holding his hand, grasping it with both paws and crossing her other paw over it. Their bond grew stronger, becoming a symbol of companionship and love.
Recognizing the impact his dog's hugs had on people, Fernandez-Chavez welcomes individuals in New York City to reach out and schedule a hug appointment with Louboutina. The warmth and love this furry friend provides have touched countless hearts.
In a world that can often feel disconnected, Louboutina reminds us of the power of simple gestures and genuine affection. Her daily walks filled with hugs serve as a reminder that a little bit of warmth and love can make a big difference in someone's day.
