We can tell you how good our day is going to be based on the number of doggos we've petted that day. If the number is less than one, it might be a good day, but we'll have to work so much harder for it to get there. If the number is two or more, we're much more likely to have a good day. This is the power of puppers - we can absorb some of their happiness simply by petting them. That's not the real scientific way that it works, but you get what we're saying.

There isn't quite something that can replicate the feeling of petting a cute dog… until now. We've carefully curated some canine memes that are both heartwarming and howlarious, and after scrolling through them, you should feel like you just got done petting an awwdorable pupper. These fluffy funnies are good for the soul, and although they may not be able to replace a real doggo, they can get you by until you find another one to pet. Lucky for us, we don't have to look too far to be able to pet one, but you might not be!

We hope you have a pawfect day, and that there will be lots of doggos to pet in your future. And if not, there's always more memes!

A place where there are unlimited doggos who need pets and our love? Say less. We've already bought our plane tickets. We're already in the air. In fact, we're already petting the doggos, right now.

This is completely normal, in our humble opinion. If you don't say “bless you” to your dogs, are you even really a dog owner? That's like not saying “biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig stretch” when they do a big stretch. If you don't do that, then you're some sort of monster… truly.
