Border collies share a cuddle ahead of Valentine’s Day

A pair of American border collies have been filmed embracing each other in a very tender expression of canine love, just days out from Valentine’s Day.

The video, posted to the Dewey & Blaze Border Collies Facebook page last week, has received more than 15 million views and hundreds of thousands of shares.

It features a pair of Texas-based border collies, Dewey, 7, and Blaze, 3, performing a carefully choreographed hug for the camera.

“It's February! Remember to hug that special someone!” the video caption reads.

The rising social media stars have featuredin a number of posts on their dedicated Facebook page, where they already have more than 50,000 followers.
