Sometimes all you need is a little something sweet to pick you up when you are feeling down. And that is why we made this collection of mood elevating doggo memes.

After all, being a hardworking hooman is one of the toughest trials there are on this planet. Which is so ironic as we spend so much of our childhood hoping, wishing and praying to be a working adult instead of a kid in school. Why did no one stop us and tell us it would be more of the same once we left? Well, no matter the failings of the past because we are here now and we need help now. And help has arrived in the form of this collection of cute canine memes carefully curated to counteract the crushing weight of the work week.

So if you are feeling a little burnt out, or simply had enough of putting up with the pain of people in your workplace, take a few moments to enjoy these pawdorable pupper memes and watch as your day brightens up around you.

  • So does this mean that the world is ready for the introduction of doggo scientists? Because if so, sign us up to be their first test subjects. We can imagine that their concept of a day of hard work would include a whole lot of break time, an ample amount of cuddle time and a little working time sprinkled in there for good measure. Which, as we are sure you will agree, is a great way to spend a day that you are meant to be working.

    Date: You told me you were interesting? Me: I said I was 'into resting'
    via dog_pawn

  • Ah this could so easily happen to us at a job interview. The recruiter starts talking about how interesting the role they have to offer is and we start getting all excited because we think that they are telling us that the whole office is into resting. As if there is an office out there that takes regular nap breaks throughout the day to unwind and relax. We would even take a pay decrease for a job that had such sweet perks. And so long as they have free coffee and cookies when we wake up we will not even miss a beat of work.
