1. The economy is so rough sometimes our dogs have to live out their dreams and help us pay the bills.
I would be much more likely to buy honey if I thought I was supporting this sweet dog!
That is one very committed side hustle.
2. Dear diary, today I was walking and saw what I thought to be a hippo! Then I realized I lived in the suburbs and it was actually a French bulldog covered in mud! Silly me, but the dog was excellent!
3. This dog has an emotional connection to Lorde's acclaimed album, Melodrama.
4. No human has ever looked at me the same way this dog looks at her owner!
Some dogs really do look like they are starring in their own romance movie.
5. This sign won't stop me because I can't read!
6. This pug getting a new best friend will melt your heart!
7. This polar-bear-adjacent dog got an ice cave made for him and loves being out in the snow!
8. Meanwhile, this dog made the very cautious decision to go back inside!
9. This basset hound decided that he would defy society's expectations and grow the longest ears in the world.
10. This working dog is such a good boy (and low-key so talented being able to climb on the ski lift like that?)!
That is a very impressive commute.
And if you’re thinking of relationship chaos, this is like the girlfriend choosing between her boyfriend and an sometimes aggressive dog.
11. This dog has short spine syndrome but doesn't let it stop him from living his best life.
12. This corgi found itself a lovely snow fort!
13. This dog definitely misunderstood what kind of hunting they would be doing, and the disappointment is obvious!
14. You can practically feel the warmth and joy radiating from this golden retriever!
15. This is stunning proof that dogs choose us!
Did you know that there is actually proof that our dogs do choose us? I never really thought about how they select who will be their favorite human; I low-key just assumed they picked the nearest adult or the person who spends the most time with them.
But it turns out, dogs pick their humans based on who matches their own vibe! For example, if you're an outgoing, noisy, boisterous person, and your dog is also an energy nut, always active and running about, chances are you will bond together!
If you live with multiple dogs and multiple people, it would be really interesting to hear if your dogs have merged with people with whom they have similar personalities, I wonder who influences the other?
Either way, this is a very sweet reminder that dogs have excellent taste.
Don't you just think that dogs are the coolest creatures out there?! As a southern hemisphere dweller, I have no experience with snow, but seeing how much fun these dogs have with their little paws, hiding in the warmth, makes me even more jealous!
As humans, we're a pretty flawed species, but for some reason, we have been blessed with the most beautiful creatures to cheer us up, so we must have done something right along the way! Especially since, with the internet, we can be blessed with endless dog content with just the touch of a few buttons.
Which dog is your favorite? Tell us in the comments!
That should be enough dog joy to carry you through the rest of the day.
