We love golden retrievers, they are lovable, friendly, and cuddly as heck. However, they aren't always the brightest crayon in the color box. They have a tendency to be ridiculously derpy doggos, and some might even go so far as to call them the orange cats of the doggo community. And we all know what that means - that they all share one collective brain cell just like our clementine-colored kitties. Honestly, we're not surprised. If we had any doubts about it before, we're definitely convinced after these adorably hilarious doggo pics below.

From a golden ruining a family photo to an incredibly beautiful* (derpy) closeup, whatever these hounds lack in brain cells they make up for in adorableness and cute charisma. We love them no matter how many brain cells they have, and we think you will too! Scroll down to see these derpy doggos and get ready to cry from cuteness!

Can't you just pretend to be normal for one picture? Apparently not, seems that rolling around in the snow takes priority over getting your picture taken for a precious memory. Well, you're nothing if not consistent. Consistently derpy!

Well, he is clearly a small baby, so we don't see anything wrong with him sitting in the baby seat! Won't be long before he outgrows the baby seat, although to us, he'll always be a big baby. You can take the baby doggo out of the baby seat, but you can't take the baby out of the doggo.
