Alright, animal fam - it's that time of the year again. The time where we throw out this past year and look forward to the next one. The time when we make all of our New Year's resolutions, say "Next year will be our year, just you wait and see", and reflect on all the things we accomplished this year. Well, our job this year is pretty easy because we didn't accomplish diddly-squat. It was a tough year, you see. Personally, we went through a lot. You could say that this year was a ruff one, to say the least. 

But you know what? Here at the Animal Comedy offices, we pawsitively believe that laughter is the best medicine. Our goal here is to give you a reason to giggle for a few minutes, whenever you need it. Maybe you need us on your morning commute, in the middle of the workday, or just before bed. We're here with hilarious animal memes and stories to keep you pawfectly entertained.

2025 may have been a ruff year, but at least we laughed at a lot of funny animal posts. We had Moo Deng, howlarious doggo tweets aplenty, and plenty of pupper adoption stories that mad our hearts bark with happiness. Below, you'll find our picks of this year's best animal posts - they got us through a ruff time, and we hope they bring you equally as much joy as they brought us.

  • Pugs, you either love them or you can't stand them. They were initially bred for royalty, originating from ancient China over 2000 years ago. Some of them even had their own bodyguards. They probably needed them, because pugs might be the least intimidating dog breed ever.

    this is the dawg AH I got within me
    via JebidiahBeetus

  • In case you missed the reference, having “that dawg in you” evolved from sports analogies of determined people working to achieve their goals. Dogs can be relentless when they want something, so if you have that dawg in you, it means you're full of heroic intensity. That's what makes this meme so funny, because this dog is calmly knitting in bed.
