Who doesn't love puppies? On your worst day at work, after a heartbreak, or in the midst of a midlife crisis, holding a soft, innocent, and smiling puppy can just do the trick and spring you back to life. There's something so magical about sipping your first cup of joe while scrolling through a pile of adorable puppy memes. It's not just about their cuteness, but it's the fact that science backs up how tiny furry faces lift your mood. Studies show that viewing images of puppies can trigger the "baby schema" response (those big eyes, soft features) which boosts positive emotions and improves focus. Who knew, right?

Because you now know that these adorable pups are not just pure amusement, that they really function to save us from ourselves, to stimulate our instinctual behaviors, to help us get through the day from a biological standpoint, now we can relax and enjoy the presumably hedonistic act of scrolling memes. Enjoy!

I always wanted a puppy to raise and be mine forever, but my parents never bought me one. Now that I'm a fully grown autonomous adult, I don't want one because I don't want all the responsibility.
