Dogs always make people happy.

It's very rare for people not to be happy when a dog is around. There was a time when I didn't feel this way, but it was before I was even 5 years old. My mom constantly tells me this story that when I was around 4, we all went to the beach for a family day, and I started barking at a puppy that was nearby. Obviously, it's not something people should do randomly, but I was 4 years old and rather rowdy. So I barked, and barked, and the puppy thought "Wow, she speaks my language!… Let's chase her." And I ran in fear, crying as a rowdy child should.

But this irrational dog-phobia ended pretty quickly for me. Since my 6th birthday, when blowing out the candles on the cake to make a wish, I wished for a dog. It took me time since that beach puppy encounter - my 5th birthday wish was to be Spiderman - but since my 6th birthday, it was a constant wish until I was around 12 or 13. I wished, and wished, but unfortunately, my mom always said "no". It just goes to show that all of our birthday wishes go to our parents.

To this day, I have never had a dog. I do raise a cat daughter, a void princess who's absolutely beautiful, but misses a few brain cells sometimes. But it doesn't contradict the fact that dogs always have, and always will, make me happy. I absolutely love it when a dog randomly comes to say hi when I walk in the street (happened to me recently in a park next to my home, with a Labrador puppy). I adore all the dogs that come to the office (we have a bunch; we are Animal Comedy, after all).

Dogs are a constant source of happiness in my life, and of many other people as well.

  • Ten dog memes in, and I already feel the doggo happiness all around. Don't you? Even when dogs come in the online and meme-fied form, they never fail to spread joy all around them. It's like a dog magic that they're all born with - otherwise, I can't explain it.
