Dogs are the best at living the happiest, most wholesome lives, and all we have left to do is to take notes and learn how to dog.

It's time all you dog lovers take out your notebooks, or other more technologically inclined devices that you take notes on, and start writing all that you can learn from your dog. And dogs in general. Because all dogs are the best at living life. Think about it like this: Dogs go through all their doggo lives being the cutest, most wholesome creatures, while living the happiest lives they could ever live. And that's something we want to learn from dogs - how to live life just like them.

First of all, the number one lesson to learn from the way dogs live their life is to see how anything is an opportunity to be happy. Going out for a walk? Amazing. Returning home? Such a blast. Being by yourself so you can take a cozy nap? A true joy. Being surrounded by friends, dogs or humans? Superb. Any situation they find themselves in, they turn into a happiness opportunity. Dogs are the best at being happy, and that's probably the first thing a person living in this stressed-out modern society needs to learn. And dogs are the best teachers for this first lesson.

The rest of this joyful doggo life experience advice will be dotted down between the howlarious dog memes below.

The next thing you need to learn from doggos about how to live life to the fullest is being the best meme material you can be. It's a baseline assumption for us that dog memes are the best memes out there - and a lot of that is thanks to dogs themselves, and not just the adorable humor in them. But besides the fact that the best boys and girls make for the best memes on the internet - it's also about being the best meme material you can be. It means that you're not afraid to be silly, be caught in the moment, and not care what others think. To just enjoy the moment.

Another doggo lesson for this life is to love unconditionally. We low-key envy how purely dogs love - their hoomans, their fellow dog friends in the dog park, and their other pet siblings. Dogs have endless love to give, and they're never shy in showing it. And that's such an important lesson to take for life, and we're definitely not surprised it comes from dogs.
