Dogs don't like being hugged!

It baffles me when researchers refer to 'dogs' doing a particular thing, or liking or disliking a particular thing, because in my experience, they are as individual in their likes and dislikes as humans are.

I feel the same way about many of the studies of human behavior. No, just because Billy Bob smiled when you probed him, doesn't mean all earthlings enjoy being probed. No, just because I masturbate with my left hand, does not mean I like pineapple on my pizza.
