Wholesome dog memes > anything else

"If you haven't got your health, you haven't got anything," from the cult classic, Princess Bride, but still applies today! What marks our health? What even is health? Is it measured by our weight, our muscle mass, or how many bicep curls we can do in the gym? It's more fluid than that. It's something encompassing many different aspects of us, our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Glowing skin and a fit physique can be phenotypic indicators, but a smile on your face and a dog by your side may be more important.

Indulging in wholesomeness is a great indicator of your health. When you crave wholesome things, it means your mind and heart are at a good place! And what could be more wholesome than doggos? Scrolling dog memes isn't all mindless activity either. Our phones are like the window to our soul; the recesses of our algorithms, searches, and saved photos and videos say a lot about us. For dog dads who indulge not only in healthy hikes with their cute doggy, but indulge in the wholesome activity of dog meme scrolling, their health bar must be off the chart, meaning they're simply happy in life. It's not always easy to get a dog and be at the right place to take care of one. Dogs are a lot of responsibility and a lot of work, but anyone can scroll doggo memes to put a smile on their face. Your day-to-day scrolls are not in vain, so scroll away!

If you are afforded the time and energy in your life right now to have a dog for yourself, it's a beautiful thing. A blessing from the universe to have a furry companion and be able to share a bond so deep. It's not superficial; even dogs have bouts of dopamine and oxytocin boosts in their brains when they look at their trusty, loving owner. It's not a one way street, and there's a reason dogs are called man's best friend. So as you prepare for your day, reflect on your life, or simply dull your mind over silliness online, these helpful dog memes will put that frown upside down.
