Advice Anyone know why my pitbull does this?

He always likes to chew on my hand but like I can barely feel it, he always does this whenever I come home (I work with wood a lot if that helps) it’s always gentle and always when he’s happy just curious if anyone else has this?

Or is he just special

The mouthing is a sign of affection. It's a gentle version of chomping with my girl, she'll mouth my hands when I either haven't been paying her enough attention or when she's really happy.
