We might woof, goof, and laugh, but doggos are the ones delivering the true happiness through their derpiness.

We all want to smile. We all want to feel joy, happiness, and ease. We want to laugh, but life doesn't always work that way. Even dogs have their bad days. Dogs, as happy-go-lucky as they are, as smiley as they are, and as joyful as they are without reason, they also have days when they frown. They're creatures with a myriad of emotions just like humans. They might feel your energy and get sad with you in solidarity, they might be anxious from your departure, or exhausted from a weekend camping and hiking trip. They have their reasons for being down just like we do. But then there's derp.

Derpy dogs are too silly to be sad. They're awkwardly lugging themselves around, tongue out, and expecting you to smile back at them. There's something so comforting about goofiness. In a way, it surpasses happiness due to its lack of depth. To be truly happy means that there's something deeper within you, and to be derpy all you need is a sense of dissociation. So enjoy these silly, derpy doggos.

Not all heroes wear capes. Some are covered in fur, slobber, and have their tongue sticking right out of their face. These are the derpy doggos of the world. They're goofy but lovable creatures. They're not only dedicated to you and your happiness, they're dedicated to delivering goofs and gentle woofs. It's their way of being your emotional support system without having to spend tons of money on a therapist. In a world where we hyperanalyze ourselves and others, where we use therapy speak in our everyday vernacular to define and dictate everything, these doggos break all of those barriers. They're chaotic, but they're sincere.

Dogs have always had a talent for making humans laugh, but derpy doggos operate on a completely different level. They give us life; they instill in us an unmatched combination of confidence and confusion. One moment they’re sprinting proudly across the yard like majestic athletes. The next, they’re running directly into a screen door because they got distracted by a butterfly.
