A Whole Lot of Good Boi Energy From the Sweetest Doggos Around

Every dog is the goodest boi. We don't make the rules, but we're certainly not going to argue with them. Big dogs, little dogs, fluffy dogs, scruffy dogs, and dogs who have absolutely no idea what's going on. They're all equally deserving of the title, and we'll happily spend all day telling them so.

There's something about dogs that makes us want to shower them with compliments for doing absolutely nothing. A dog can be lying on the floor, minding their own business, and suddenly we're telling them they're the most wonderful creature to ever walk the earth. Does that stop us from having an entire conversation about how handsome and talented they are? Absolutely not.

Some dogs really do earn their good boi status through excellent behavior. They sit when they're told, wait patiently for their treats, and greet everyone they meet with a wagging tail. We have enormous respect for those well-mannered pups, especially when they're surrounded by other dogs who seem determined to cause as much chaos as possible.

Other dogs have a slightly different approach to being good. They might steal a slipper, knock over the trash can, or bark at a suspicious-looking plastic bag for twenty minutes. They're still good bois, of course. Nobody ever said being the goodest required a spotless record. Besides, it's hard to take their crimes seriously when the suspect is sitting in front of you with a wagging tail and a stolen sock hanging out of their mouth.

We also love the dogs who seem to think they've accomplished something extraordinary every time they do the most basic task. They bring back a tennis ball and look ready to receive a standing ovation. They successfully climb onto the couch and immediately settle in like they've conquered a mountain. We're always happy to celebrate these achievements, no matter how many times we've witnessed them before.

Then there are the senior doggos who've spent years perfecting the art of being wonderful. They might move a little slower these days, prefer shorter walks, or spend most of their afternoons napping in their favorite spot. They've earned every bit of that relaxation, along with unlimited forehead kisses and the comfiest place in the house.

Whether they're energetic puppies who can't sit still or sleepy old pups who just want a quiet afternoon, every dog brings their own special brand of goodness into the world.

We'll take a kiss

We would absolutely love to run into Jamesy on one of our walks! Imagine heading out for some fresh air and getting stopped by this adorable good boi who's ready to hand out kisses. We'd happily spend a few extra minutes giving him all the pets and attention he deserves. We'd start taking the same route every day just for another chance to see that sweet face!

Hardworking doggo

via @Know Your Meme
Working dogs deserve all the appreciation in the world, and we love that some get rewarded with adorable plushies at the end of their shifts. After spending the day being hardworking, responsible doggos, they get to enjoy a little playtime with a brand-new stuffed friend. Just look at how happy they are with their toys! We hope every working pup gets plenty of treats, belly rubs, and well-deserved time off after a job well done.

We firmly believe that all doggos are good doggos, no exceptions. Whether they're perfectly behaved angels or little troublemakers who keep their hoomans on their toes, they all deserve endless love and belly rubs. Some might be better at following the rules than others, but that doesn't make them any less wonderful. Every pup is the goodest boi or girl in our eyes, and nobody's changing our minds!
