When the weight of life is weighing you down it can feel as though no amount of working out would ever make you strong enough to shift the load. Thankfully dog memes make incredibly light work of such emotional distress.

And howlarious dog memes are exactly what we have lined up for your viewing pleasure in this list. For even though it is only the beginning of the working week, and there have not been enough major company meltdowns to perhaps warrant a pupper pick-me-up. It is still the beginning of the week, and that is no fun for any freedom loving hooman who spent a weekend running around parks with their pupper.

In fact, if that is how you spent your weekend, we could imagine that the concept of coming back to work would be nothing less than slightly soul crushing. So in order to mitigate the motivation crushing weight of the work week we invite you to take a moment for yourself, before all the chaos and calamity of the workday begin and indulge in this mood boosting collection of funny pupper memes. We hope you have a puptastic day.
