We never really understand how much dogs help us until we don't have them. So if you have a dog - hug them, tell them they're a very good boy or girl, and maybe add a yummy treat for good measure. Make your doggo time count.

If you're a dog pawrent, think about all the times your dog was there for you. If, by any chance, you never had the blessing of raising a doggo child, consider this: Dogs are so emotionally intelligent, that when something sad happens in your life, they always lend you their shoulder to cry on. It's like a given that you have the best and supporting BFF at home. They just have fewer language skills and more fur than usual.

Dog pawrents already know how much their dogs mean to them. We don't think we need to elaborate about this magical human-dog friendship to people who know about it, but it just feels nice to gush about how cute your dog is. We could talk about all the hugs our dogs gave us when we were sad for hours. Our dogs really are the best friends we could ever hope to have.

Now that we took the time to appreciate our dogs, and to tell people who have no idea what it's like that raising a dog is the best thing in the world, it's time to gather to what we all came here to do - have a good woofing belly laugh from some good memes of good boys and girls. Our beloved doggos, spreading humor across the online sphere.

If a seal is an aqua pupper, then what are all the other types of puppers?
Is a bat the fluffy sky puppy? We think that makes sense, because they are covered in fur. And what about the woods? We think deer are the great candidates for woodland puppers. And when it comes to a snowy tundra, we think polar bears are the winter pups - both because of big dogs who already look like bears, and the fact that in The Legend of Korra, there's already an animal called a polar bear dog. It just makes sense.
We really hope that eventually, when humanity reaches real space, we can find the cute candidate for space dog. How cool would that be?
