It is a sad reality of the hooman condition that we do not receive enough praise. Sure as kids we might get some praise if we are lucky, but as we grow older it seems that we are expected to either praise ourselves for a job well done or simply furget about the idea all together. But we know that just like our pupper pals, us hoomans crave the notion that we have done well and so we wanted to come and gift you a good bag of golden retriever memes that give you the same goofy grin as when you are told that you have been good.

It is hard to say why we hoomans are so capable of praising our pups while completely incapable of praising each other. Heck, even amongst friends it is rather special to receive any kind of praise beyond the middling reactions to certain milestone achievements in life. When in reality we also need the emotional support that we give a pupper for simply sitting in the right spot. Now, sure we might not need that level of recognition to make us feel good but at the same time it would not hurt.

So we invite you to kick back, relax and enjoy these glorious doggo memes and let their pawsitive vibe wash over you. And if you see a canine loving colleague who also needs a reminder of their awesomeness then do not hesitate to share the pawsitivity with them. Change only happens if you are willing to make the first move.
