Meet Linkin, the cutest hugger you'll find on the Internet today

Dogs just have a way of making everything joyful just by their mere presence. Every dog comes with a unique quality of their own. Linkin might not be the most playful dog in his group, but there is one thing that he knows to do, and there is absolutely no one that can beat him in it. He is the 'King of cuddles' and works extremely hard to maintain his skill in this craft. In order to practice, he finds various recipients in his doggy daycare, as reported by thedodo. He is a regular visitor of Urban Canine where his humans leave him during the day as they go off to work, and he uses that time to shower cuddles on a lucky beneficiary every day. Urban Canine also uploaded a video of his tactics on TikTok. 

Urban Canine is a Dog Daycare Centre located in Winnipeg city of Canada. They have a lot of amenities for the adorable canines who spend all day running around enjoying themselves. Linkin always stands apart from the other pets because he has no interest in playing, tackling, or any other activities like that, all he wants to do is chill. The video is a slide show of various photos showing Linkin cuddling with dogs, humans and even things. Rather than looking for a playmate after entering the gates he instead looks for the person or dog who would have the privilege to be his headrest and get his adorable cuddles.

The recipient whom Linkin mostly chooses is Luna. Luna is his sister who he snuggles with in a variety of ways. Sometimes he buries his head in her neck and other times chooses to sit on her. His method of cuddling involves getting as close to his partner as possible. He also chooses humans for this task, who willingly participate along with him. The fact that Linkin has earned the title of being 'King of Cuddles' is no small deal as cuddles from dogs have their own magic. So much so that almost 60% of dog owners would prefer to cuddle with their pets rather than partners as per Martha Stewart. Moreover, such cuddles have the power to reduce anxiety within humans, according to the research conducted by Patricia Pendry and Jaymie L. Vandagriff. Therefore, Linkin's hobby is no joke.

Linkin is doing everyone in the Dog Daycare a service. He loves everyone in Urban Canine and there is hardly anyone he has not given his magical cuddles with at the daycare. They love him and also created a video in his tribute on TikTok. They had wonderful things to tell about the sleepy dog in the video, “Lion hunter defines his breed, but he’s definitely a lamb at heart!”

The video shows how Linkin takes his job as a cuddler seriously and does not let anything get in the way. In spite of being a large dog, he does not have a specific requirement when it comes to a partner. He just needs a good soul, and after finding them, nuzzles his way in and drifts off to sleep. After a hard day at work, he is then taken by his parents from his "home away from home".

The comment section loved Linkin's tactics. @kmeiz12 was emotional seeing all of this, "Why am I out here crying in the club over this sweet baby... his little heart is so big!" @ejordanw found similarities with her own pet, "My pup does the same! refuses to lay her head on the ground."
