Master the Monday madness with the soft side of dogs.

Dogs are known to be the goofballs of the animal kingdom. That's probably why we keep them as our best friends for such a long time. It's hard not to like dogs when their silliness makes us laugh every time - running around in the dog park, tail wagging like a spaceship launch when they greet us at the door, and tongue-lolling kisses they dispense to anyone they love. Dogs are masters of joy-spreading through adorable antics. But they also have a softer side that we appreciate.

Dogs' softness is sometimes forgotten in the back of our minds, but that's just natural - loudness is always… louder. So, a happy dog that barks in the first image we have popping into our minds when we think of doggo joy, but that's not the only way dogs bring us joy. Dogs are also excellent cuddlers, who give the best cuddle sessions to anyone who just wants to chill by their side. Dogs are also extremely tuned with our feelings, knowing to come and offer solace and comfort when we need some.

Dogs are simply wholesome like that, and that's exactly why they're the best remedy for the Monday madness. A doggo joy a day keeps the Monday blues away. And that's why some pawdorable pupper memes are a great way to ward the mind from whatever Monday may bring with it. We don't care for it. We have dogs by our side.

We really do feel a compulsion to pet every dog we come across. On the way to work? That's an energy boost to start the day. In the park during lunch? That's just a midday happiness break. In the evening, when we're back home to our pupper? For sure, that's a m,uct-pet policy.
Every dog is a potential pet of happiness.

Dogs have such important jobs! This one saves baby turtles, others sniff dangerous materials in airports around the world, and some even find people under rubble after earthquakes. Dogs are amazing, regardless of their job, or if they're jobless - but these dogs with jobs are truly impressive.
