When sally met harry, the world changed forever. And that moment has been revamped, rejigged and redesigned countless times. But there is a moment even more significant in hooman history that gets much less coverage and consideration. And that is the moment when rover (the first fur baby) met roger (the first hooman pawrent). From that day a bond as strong as those created on the surface of the sun was formed, and it is going nowhere fast.

So today we wanted to take a moment to awwpreciate all the good things that our darling doggos have done for us throughout the years, with this list of heartwarming hounds who without a doubt love their pawrents more than food itself. Which is saying quite a lot considering that our relationship began with food and has been centered around food for centuries.

    The sign contains the following message in Portuguese; "Please don't take my (little) ball away. If it's on the street, it's because I threw it for people to play with me. Return it through the gate to make me happy. This ball means everything to me.". POR FAVORI NÃO LEVE MINHA BOLINHA EMBORA!!! SE ELA ESTÁ NA RUA É PORQUE JOGUEI PARA BRINCAREM COMIGO. DEVOLVA NO PORTÃO E EU FICAREI MUITO FELIZ!! ELA É TUDO PRA MIM

    There are people who don't have much, but share the little they have. It comes from their heart and not to look better, or out of altruism with profit, because of the tax benefits or they don't know what to do with so much money.

  • Pawrents, parents, guardians or whatever you might want to call them, they try their best. But an inevitable part of protecting your pup is doing things that they are going to be a little displeased with. That being said, this darling doggo is going to get picked on more than the kid who has his mittens connected by a string.

    My girlfriend said she'd break up with me if I rescued this dog that was found a couple blocks from our house. It's been a year and now I'm single with a perfectly healthy pup.

  • It is a well known fact that many love affairs begin with a distant look from a far away window. And when you are as handsome and cayhooot as this canine, you are likely to have every hooman who passes you by fall for your fluffy charm.
