You might not have thought that doggos can be such a strong source of delight and pawsitivity that they would be able to turn a frown upside down. But after scrolling this collection of mood-lightening puppers we hope that you will agree that they are.

Ah Monday is back again, and much like that dog at the park who is always a little too enthusiastic with everyone else's dogs and your leg, it just won't stop doing its thing. And while all we want it to do is go away and leave us alone, that will do very little to actually affect any kind of change.

So we are left with one option and one option only, to change our pawspective of it. And one of the best ways to do that is to attach a pawsitive perception to something which usually causes us discomfort and dismay. Which is why we made this collection of doggo derived mood boosters, because if you start to associate Mondays with the magical goodness that doggos donate to our souls, then you have a much better chance of enjoying those dreaded days. So sit back and let the laughter take over for a few moments, or at least until your Monday blues blow away.

You have to believe that this is pretty much every dog, animal and hooman’s dream. On an evolutionary level this just hits every satisfaction point that you can imagine. Something about having so much food that it dwarfs you, it gives off feelings of being able to feed yourself forever, which obviously ties into our deep need to survive as well. Which is enough to inspire a subtle chuckle in itself, but for this doggo to be called Rambo you just have to imagine that once he goes for the ham, he will have to be named Hambo…

You know, we would probably get just as excited if we were given raises and bonuses in the same way that doggos are given new toys. Sure, each toy is not a whole lot on its own. But the prospect of getting said new toy and the opportunities that it holds are more than enough to raise excitement levels and boost one’s mood. Such that once every few months you would turn up to work and get an incremental raise that would not only raise your financial stability but also your spirits.
