Instructions  for properly hugging a baby

1.  First, spy a baby

 

2.  Second, be sure that the object you spied was indeed a  baby by employing classic sniffing techniques. If you  smell baby powder and the wonderful aroma of wet diapers  this is indeed a baby.

 

3.  Next you will need to flatten the baby before actually  beginning the hugging process. **Note: The added slobber  should help in future steps by making the  "paw slide" easier.   

4.  The "paw slide" - Simply slide paws around baby and  prepare for possible  close-up.

 

5.  Finally, if a camera is present, you will need to  execute the difficult and patented "hug, smile, and  lean" so as to achieve the best photo  quality

   

Dogs,  if this is properly done, it will secure you a warm, dry, climate-controlled environment for the rest of your life. Good luck to all of you!
