Does your dog look at you with puppy eyes too?

For our dogs, the concept of adulthood doesn't exist. They can be 3 months old, one year, or seven years old, and they always act like puppies. They jump, they play, they climb on top of you to get pets and love. They are stuck in Neverland and will never grow up, and that's exactly how we want them to be.

It's lovely to see that, no matter how old our dogs get, they never stop playing and being happy. We hoomans could learn a thing or two from our pets and how to hold on to our own quota of whimsy. We won't run around the whole house while barking, but you get the point. We need more happiness in our lives.

Our pets are a great source of joy and laughter, even when they misbehave. No matter if our dogs dug up the entire garden, if they chewed on all the furniture, or if they destroyed our favourite feather pillow, they give us those puppy eyes, and all our anger disappears. That is the puppy effect: feeling better even when you're actively refusing. There's no way to fight it; our furballs arrived in our lives to give us those big shiny eyes and bark our worries away, and we just have to accept the fact that we will never be sad for long. They will come running towards us and jump in the air, hoping to fall into our arms to give us all their love. They might have their moments of mischief, as all animals do, but they sure compensate with their devotion to us and those sad eyes that speak to us more than words ever could.

Those looks are a mix of silent "I love yous," "I'm sorrys," and "I'm glad you're home." There are humans in our lives who have never and will never look at us the way our pets do. We are their whole world, and they are ours.

Since we all love our puppies so much, and they all give us the same glassy-eyed look, here's a collection of dogs that made sure to look extra pawdorable for our enjoyment!
