We spend our lives chasing happiness, whether it be in activities, people or puppers. We work for it, we sweat for it and we cry for it, there is nothing we will not do for it. But when you are lucky enough to have a place that instills you with all the happiness you could ever want, well that is when you've hit the jackpot.

It is not considered often enough, the fact that we all deserve our own happy places. A space that speaks to you in a way that it cancels out all the negatives of life and gives you the opportunity to experience happiness in its purest form. It does not have to be a place all of your own, but it should be a place that speaks uniquely to you. And seeing as we do not take it into consideration enough in this life we figured we would give you a helping paw with some pupper inspawration.

The world of doggos is a relatively simple one and so the pleasures are simple too. You would also not need for very much if you spent most of your time at home not doing very much. So for our pupper pals it can be quite easy to find their happy places as there are fewer to choose from. But that does not make them any less happy and any less healthy. So as you dive into this delightful collection of doggos living it up in their favorite places on earth, we invite you to consider where on this planet you feel whole? Where do you truly feel happy, and at that is it a place at all? It could just as easily be a person, or in the best case, a pupper.

It is so nice to see our darling doggos in their natural habitats. There is something about being in the great outdoors that seems to instill a different kind of energy in our pupper pals. It is almost as though they instinctively connect to their wild roots and are filled with the wisdom and ways of their ancestors who roamed the very same forests as they do now. Not to mention all the critters for them to chase to their heart’s content. This guy looks like he has had more than his fill of chasing after little creatures for the day.

Sometimes your happy place does not need to specifically be a place at all. Sometimes it is more than enough for a happy place to be a person, or pupper. When you are with them everything in the world around you seems to shine a little brighter. The worries and weight you usually carry are far in the back of your mind and all you are concerned with is what wonderful thing the pair of you are about to get stuck into doing. It certainly seems that these four-legged friends have understood that fact of life and are enjoying every second of being together, no matter where that might be.
