Serotonin Saturday: The Best Velvet Hippos That Boosted Our Happy Hormones (30+ Adorable Doggos)

Happy Serotonin Saturday, everyone! We're bringing you an extra squishy edition today filled with our favorite velvet hippos, AKA pit bulls or any chonky dog with short hair and a head you just want to squeeze for the rest of your life. Something about their big eyes, head, and chonky bodies just make our hearts melt, and we want to snuggle them forever and never leave.

They make us happier just by existing, which is why they're the feature of this week's Serotonin Saturday. They're the perfect snuggle buddies, and they look like good guard dogs, too! Notice how we said "look", because most of these hippos are actually just big babies that wouldn't hurt a fly. Real hippos, on the other hand, will mess you up. Don't get them confused in the wild!

"My girl actually gets depressed and sad when people walk by and don't pet her. So we improvised." 12/10 would pet this friendly-looking hippo! Also, where can we get one of those? We also want pets.
