Dog lover to dog lover: Let's face the heckin facts! It's been a ruff-ruff year.
We may even say that using doge speak, but we aren't taking the year lightly. We know as well as the next person that we are all well overdue for some happiness.
How does one keep pushing forward when things look so gloomy and doomy? Naturally, by continuing to delight daily in mankind's BEST friend: dogs.
For everything that can and does go wrong, there is a dog out there who is ready and willing to turn your frown upside down. Dogs have that priceless ability to love unconditionally and that's got a lot to do with why dogs are so popular with humans.
We say all the time: we don't deserve dogs. If you aren't pawsitively convinced that dogs can totally cheer you up, here are some of the absolute best examples of joy-inducing dog posts that the Internet has had to offer lately.
