Dogs have a special power to make people happy, and when they're in their online form it's no different.

I'm always amazed by how happy I am when I'm around dogs. It's like they possess this joy magic that makes everyone around them happy. Here are examples just from the past week of how dogs made me happier than I would've been otherwise, which makes me believe in this joyful doggo magic:

I play D&D on Tuesdays, and our DM has a Golden Retriever named Marshmallow (and a cat named Pesto, but for now it's beside the point). In this week's session, the sorceress character of our party erupted with wild magic that replaced my own character's mind with my character's dog (because of course my imaginary D&D character has a dog). I played the rest of the session barking, which made Marshmallow, the actual dog in the room, insist it's a playtime call and try to get me up to play with him. It was so funny, and definitely puplifted the mood of the entire table.

On Wednesdays, I pick up my daughter from daycare. We went to the park near our home, as usual, but there was also a woman walking her old Beagle mix, named Roberta. I don't know why, but the old Roberta connected immediately with my 1-year-old baby. Maybe because they're the same height, more or less. This entire afternoon they played fetch with each other, which was absolutely hilarious because they both have trouble running after the ball. This waddling event was adorable.

When Friday came around, the neighbor's dog felt the weekend coming closer ever so slightly. She's a huge mutt named Yula, and she jumps on everyone to say "hello" as if she were a tiny Chihuahua. I don't think she's aware of her size. But that creates the silliest and funniest greetings when we encounter each other in the stairs of the building. My neighbor tried to contain her in the beginning, but now after a year they live there, he just lets her run up to me when I go down to start my morning commute, and she's going up after her morning walkies. She jumped on me to say hi, and it's the most precious (and a little bit slobbery) thing that happens in the morning.

All of this happened in only one week. Dogs that made me smile wide, laugh, and generally love life a little more. Dogs have this joyful aura about them, and it sifts through when they appear in their online, pixelated form as well. Dog memes and posts, of course. There are quite a few of them here, for you and every other dog pawrent. Make sure you love your dog extra today, because they make you just as happy as you are.

  • You've arrived at the middle of this list, with half the memes behind you and half ahead. I don't know about you, but I feel like I'm already happier just looking at this bunch of dog memes. 

    It also makes me feel like I want to give back to dogs - so really, make sure you give some extra love to your own dog today. Pet them more, give another treat, and tell them what a good boy or girl they are. I'm sure they deserve it all, and more.
