專家稱狗狗並不喜歡被擁抱

　　7月8日CNN聽力：專家稱狗狗其實不愛好被擁抱

　　AZUZ: A University of Colorado professor says somedogs love a good squeeze. A professional dogtrainer says maybe dogs just don't like beingsnuggled and photograph at the same time. Thepoint, not everybody agrees with the University ofBritish Columbia professor who says dogs hatehugs.

　　JEANNE MOOS, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: There's nothing like a doggy hug to tugat your heart. But is it mutual?

　　Let's ask the owner of Special Agent Maxwell Smart.

　　Do you think he does love it when you hug him?

　　UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I know he does.

　　MOOS: Good thing Maxwell isn't smart enough to read "psychology today." The data says,don't hug the dog.

　　Supposedly dogs hate it when we hug them.

　　UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Really? Not this one. He's a lover, not a fighter.

　　MOOS: But according to a new study, almost 82 percent of dogs show at least one sign ofstress while being hugged. Some of the signs, ears down, and head turned to avoid eyecontact.

　　UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Can I hug you, sweetheart? Can I hug you, sweetheart?

　　MOOS: Submissive eye-closing, lip-licking, anxious yawning. When psychology professor anddog author, Stanley Coren, looked at 250 photos from the Internet of people hugging theirdogs, four out of five of the dogs showed stress.

　　STANLEY COREN, PROFESSOR, UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA: The internet isfilled with pictures of happy owners hugging stressed dogs.

　　MOOS: Professor Coren says dogs evolve so that their main means of defense is to runaway. What does a hug do? Immobilize him.

　　So if you hug him, what does he do?

　　UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: He runs to me.

　　MOOS: Professor Coren compares hugging a dog to what one of his aunts used to do.

　　COREN: She came over and grabbed both of my cheeks and said, oh, you're so cute. Well, ithurt and I didn't like it at all.

　　MOOS: But dog owners aren't buying it.

　　Does your dog like to be hugged?

　　UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He does, yes. He likes to kiss as well.

　　UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: When I hug him, he leans into me and seems to be very happy.

　　MOOS: Maybe they're just part of the approximately 8 percent of dogs found to becomfortable getting hugged.

　　UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He says that's a full of baloney.

　　MOOS: But even Max would probably prefer baloney to a hug.

　　Jeanne Moos, CNN.

　　UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Look, he's loving it. He's loving it.

　　MOOS Yes, but I haven't immobilized him.

　　New York.

　　AZUZ: Hard to believe that even in a doggy dog world, our best friends were thinking, howcanine get out of this? There are times they seem hug-ry for affection, not wanting to wagwar against someone who unleashes it. It's not a bark or a bite, it's a hug. And unless thestress causes unrest, it paints a pretty picture of puppy love.
