I need help fixing this @bot.event loop

Question

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
  if message.author ==bot.user or message.author.bot:
    return
  mention=message.author.mention
  if message.content == "$hug":  
    await message.channel.send(f"Hugs {mention} back")
    return

this is the code i am using to run the loop, it works but turns off the rest of my code. I was wondering what it is in this code thats shutting the rest off.

Im using replit and am using one of the discord.py templates.
@bot.command()
async def dink(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Donk!")

^thats one of the codes that are not working with the hug event.

No errors are showing up its just not running the rest of the code. — Cliffjumper150, May 14 '21 at 16:49
