28th June: Happy Heart Hugs Day

The reason Happy Heart Hugs Day falls on the 28th of June every year is that this was the day that Archie’s owners first brought him home.

History of Happy Heart Hugs Day

Happy Heart Hugs Day was created by a dog – or at least, his owners. Archie Brindleton, a super happy and super cute French bulldog inspired this day, presumably because as a dog he is full of happy hugs himself.

Today was made ‘for any buddy that fills your heart with happiness that is not close enough for regular-type hugs’, according to Archie himself. That means sending love to those most special in your life – a long-distance hug! A super, squishy cuddly one!

How to celebrate Happy Heart Hugs Day

It’s time to get soppy and romantic. Let your partner know how much you love them with a super soppy text message, or let your family know how often you think of them by sending them a super sweet message on social networking or by email.

You could even get real traditional and write up a lovely letter for them. Make it as silly, soppy, and sweet as you can. That’s what this day is for! Maybe even go all out with glitter and heart stickers just to make it really special.
