Get ready for a lifetime of this, Gus!<\/p>\n
In a super-sweet TikTok clip, Gus the Golden Retriever<\/a><\/strong> puppy endures dozens of kisses from his pet mamma as he rests in her arms.<\/p>\n And while it may be a stretch to say he enjoyed this little lovefest, he barely made a fuss.<\/p>\n \u201cDo you blame me, though?\u201d his pet mamma asks in the clip.<\/p>\n Absolutely not!<\/p>\n \u201cI mean, how could you not?\u201d a fan responded.<\/p>\n Others felt little Gus could be in a spot of trouble.<\/p>\n Related: Singing Cat Reluctantly Joins ‘Dancing Queen’ Duet and Fans Love Her for It<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cHey Gus, blink twice if you need help,\u201d a viewer wrote.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udc36<\/a>SIGN UP to get \u201cpawsitivity\u201d delivered right to your inbox with inspiring & entertaining stories about our furry & feathered friends<\/a><\/strong>\ud83d\udc3e\ud83d\udc3e<\/a><\/p>\n Of course, as Gus grows older, I imagine he\u2019ll be returning the kisses tenfold!<\/p>\n Dogs don’t understand\u00a0kisses as a sign of affection<\/a>\u00a0in the human sense, but they often learn to associate the action with positive experiences like petting, treats, and gentle tones.\u00a0Some dogs may actually perceive a human face getting close as threatening or overwhelming, while others may tolerate it or even enjoy it, especially if they are well-socialized pups, and the interaction is gentle.\u00a0(Are you enjoying this, Gus? The jury is still out on this!)<\/p>\n A true sign that a dog is enjoying kisses is when they lean in, wag their tail, or look relaxed, whereas stress signals like yawning, licking their lips, or freezing indicate they may not be comfortable.<\/p>\n Related: Lovefest Between Grandma and German Shepherd Is Melting Everyone’s Hearts<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The good news for Gus\u2019s mom is that Goldens are super social<\/a>, loyal, and sweet, so barring anything crazy happening, this little fluffball will grow into a loving fella who happily gives and receives lots of love!<\/p>\n There\u2019s no need to rush things, though. I\u2019m sure Gus\u2019s mom is enjoying every single second she can cradle this adorable fella in her arms and pepper him with kisses. And unless she hits the gym with regularity, she\u2019s only got a few more weeks that she can keep Gus in her arms! In fact, Golden Retrieve<\/a>r males grow to 23 to 24 inches tall and reach about 65 to 75 pounds!<\/p>\n Enjoy every moment, mamma!
