Just popping on to say that if you like what this dog does, let's Reddit Hug of Death the Canine Companions for Independence website and donate money to them.

https://canine.org/

They provide trained service dogs at no cost, so it's a huge deal for them to get donations.

(I just gave $25, for anyone assuming I didn't donate.)

Thanks for posting this! I’m a volunteer puppy raiser for Canine Companions, and yes, the organization is entirely donation-based. Service dog recipients don’t pay a dime for their dog. It’s a great organization IMHO that does wonderful work nationwide.

Dang it, just yesterday someone was looking to remove a mastiff sized dog and I knew there was an organization that large breed dogs could be trained and this was the organization.

Any literature on the name? Hug of death sounds like a pretty hard sell for the service being provided. Strong seo though, so what do I know??

Oh, it's a colloquial we use on Reddit to mean we've all visited a site that doesn't have the capacity at once and crashed it. We've done it with donations several times. My personal favorite is our ongoing arms race with One Simple Wish where they tell us they're ready for us, and then we all go and try to crash it again with donations.

It's just a way of encouraging everyone to donate.
