Our Dog Bruno loves to cuddle when My parents and I are all together in the same room. He also likes to lay at our feet and he will lick me all over just to show is love. Our puppy Chico usually will follow us around and loves to lay under our feet or beside them. He is also starting to lick me more too.
How does your dog show affection?

Taebo is not really a cuddle bunny, but what he does is he will sit with his ears back looking at me and just look until I give him a huge bear hug, then he will trot away happily with his tail wagging and every so often he will come back and want another one. If he does not get one he starts moaning and waiting. haha. When I am not home DH says he sits by the chair and just moans waiting for me to hug him. So cute. Moose our new puppy is starting to catch on. 
I wouldn't nessecarily call it affection... but my pup/dog is learning to communicate in an effective way, with me. When I'm on the computer, he'll climb the couch behind me, hook his paw on my shoulder, pulling me back so he can get closer to my face and be acknowleged. (This means he wants to play with a toy.) When I'm watching t.v., he'll try to climb the couch and snuggle in with me. He presses his head on you with his ears exposed. If you ignore him, a paw hits you. (He's asking for an ear massage.) When he's hungry, he'll sit on the matt in the kitchen in front of the sink. He'll watch you make your latte'. If you move onto something else, before getting his food bowl out, he''ll get up and head butt you in the back of the leg, then go back to the sink area and sit. (This means he's hungry NOW.) When you're asleep and he's up first, he rests his head on the bed next to your pillow and makes a huffing sound. If you don't open your eyes and "stir" this turns to a lick in the ear. If you don't sit up by the 3rd cue, it turns to a slap on the face with a paw. ( This means "I have to go to the bathroom immediately".) He has his own way of letting me know what he needs and while it sometimes feels like affection, it's generally me serving him. Lol.
Sage is definately a talker and a licker. So she often tells me that she loves me while she licks so far up my nose that it hurts (we call those brain licks) I don't mean to let her but she gets her little tounge in the perfect position and up it goes! She's also a cuddle bug and wants to always be curled up next to any curve on my body.
Denali Sheiba and Ike aren't really affection seekers. They tend to stay to themselves, and come for the occassional pat. Sheiba is more affectionate than any of them. She will sit on my dads stomach (my dad's a little larger than your average sized man), like she's on a mountain. LOL But she'll come and get goofy when she wants attention. However, if we have a guest over, or a little kid -- she's all over them. She pays more attention to our guests than she does to us. LOL
Ike will lay with me now and then. If my boyfriend stays at a friend's house, Ike will lay in the bed with me.
Kelso likes his chest scratched. He only cuddles with his daddy (my boyfriend). However, once you start to scratch his chest, he's your best friend and you are not allowed to stop. LOL
Lugar on the other hand, is the epitome of a velcro/lap dog. He follows me everywhere. If he wants to sit on the couch with you, he has to try and sit ON you. If I lay in the bed, he's got to lay ON me. LOL Wherevev I am, he's got to be right there with me, and touching me in some way. But that's what I love
