When You Hug An Animal — Big Or Small — They Know You Mean Well

January 21 was National Hugging Day — and before you say, ‘Wait…there’s a day for that?’ let me reassure you that of course there is, and it’s incredibly important. So it may not be equal to Independence Day, but some might argue it’s a close second.

Here to show you just how important — oh yeah, and adorable — it is are the incredible folks over at Edgar’s Mission in Australia.

Would someone possibly, maybe, perhaps give me a hug? After that, I’m dying for one!
