I get it. Many of us are starved for affection right now. We've been in a pandemic-induced lockdown for months. Even in those places where restrictions are starting to ease, social distancing (sensibly!) remains in effect. Perish the thought of human contact with people outside your quarantine bubble.

Enter this corgi, whose name is Norman. Mr. Norman likes his scritches. He likes them an awful lot. He likes them so much, in fact, that you're going to hear it if you stop before he's ready for you to stop. I feel like we're all going to be like Norman by the time this whole thing is over.

And hey, want it to be over quicker? Wear a mask!
