Feeling down? Sit with some doggo happiness.

Some people start their day with coffee and traffic, and others choose a more wholesome route. Dog Memes really speak to the soul. From sad to happy in a matter of minutes, there's no reason not to spend your morning in blissful abandon with your pupper. And if you don't have a dog yourself, then here at Animal Comedy, were here to help you get into the dog spirit virtually.

It may sound surprising, but when dogs are around the people they're attached to and love, their brains release oxytocin, which is the same bonding hormone humans release when they're falling in love! So when you say you love your dog, or your dog loves you, it's neurochemically correct! Dogs are more alike us than we realize in that way. Everything comes down to the chemicals and neurotransmitters in our brains and bodies. Oxytocin is released in moments of safety, bonding, and cuddling, which makes sense why our dogs would feel it when we're cuddling them. There's nothing superficial about the bond between a dog and its owner – in fact, it can be more connecting than the bond between two people.

While you scroll through these hilarious and silly dog memes, you can note your own emotional pallet: what speaks to you, what feels right, and what you need from life, as well as your pupper. Enjoy these hilarious, wholesome, and adorable doggo memes whether you have a pet or not. Dogs are the best and you know it!
