A.k.a. "horse hug", this immensely-pleasurable (well, if you're into regularly getting "up close 'n' personal" wif half a ton of hard-muscled mammal, at least!) activity involves happily wrapping your arms around the neck of your favorite large four-legged friend and tucking your head contentedly up under his jaw and throat; if he is accustomed to doing this and is in a fairly good mood, your large buddy will often respond in kind, gently tilting his head downwards to softly squeeze you between his chin and chest.
Equine embraces can indeed be extremely satisfying and rewarding; one just needs to remember to always check his clothing for loose hairs and other unwanted "organic adornments" afterwards, to avoid spreading said "residues" to undesirable locations, such as furniture, curtains, bed-clothes, etc.

Refers to a merely “in name only” type of hug that you give someone whom you do not actually have romantic/affectionate feelings toward, but are just “going through the motions” to be polite/agreeable.
There are various reasons why one might administer a nominal embrace; the most common situations might be (A) you are giving the other person a proxy hug as a favor for someone else, or (B) you are at a party, wedding, or other social gathering where “everyone is doing it” --- i.e., giving a hug --- to one or more “special” attendees, such as the hostess, "birthday boy/girl", the newlyweds, etc., or (C) the huggee is either mentally challenged and thus craves “cuddly attention” from everyone around him, or he is presently going through a rough time in his life, and thus he needs all the emotional support he can get.
