So much cuteness in such a small package! Welcome back, cute animal lovers! We've got a lovely collection of some of the cuteness animal pictures and videos currently making the rounds on the web. 

Once a week, we like to bring you a gallery of the cuteness animal pics and vids we come after and deliver them here in one place. Our weekly prescription of cuteness is an essential part of anyone's diet. They say looking at cute animals helps relieve stress and so we're hoping this dump of cuteness really takes off a lot of anxiety and pressure anyone might be feeling. If you're having a more difficult week and need an extra cuteness boost, don't you worry, we've got you covered. 

It is often talked about how pets are a lot of work - you do so much for them and all you get in return is love, right? Wrong. Pets give back so much more than just love. For some people, they're their stability and support, for others, pets are one of the reasons they keep fighting day by day. 

Then, there are dogs who have made it their actual jobs to help people, and seeing everything that they do each and every day truly makes us think that we're the ones not doing enough for them. So, today, we're saying thank you to all of our doggo helpers and doggo heroes. And we're saying thank you to r/dogswithjobs, the subreddit that gives these amazing doggos love every single day!

Most people, when going to adopt a pet, tend to go for the little ones- the baby kittens and puppies who they'll get to raise into their families. And of course, while every adoption and every rescue is to be celebrated, it's important to remember to adopt senior and sick pets too. And sometimes, it happens that this understanding comes to you as you're already in the shelter, about to pick up your tiny new baby, and then an older one-eyes cat looks at you, and finds its way right into your soul.

A tweet sharing a story like that went viral, and other twitter users with similar stories chimed in, sharing their own stories of last minute changes to adoption plans- ones that ended with them picking up the less fortunate animals and giving them a warm home too. 

So, bring in the tissues and let your heart warm with joy. 

Everyone knows the classic "cat stuck with its leg up" pose where your cat just sorta... stops working for a little while. But did you know that dogs have their stopped working moments too? Apparently, pets just forget how to pet sometimes and are in need of a reboot. No need to worry though, they're fine, just stuck for a couple seconds. 

Really, our pets' silly little moments are what make them all the more loveable. Life would be boring without our fluffy weirdos, so we're thankful for their occasional moments of madness just as much as we're thankful for their affectionate and calm moments.

If you haven't heard about our newest Facebook page, 'ICanHas StoryTime,' you're missing out! No worries though, we can tell you all about it right here and right now! We have recently opened up a new Facebook page for our amazing animal-loving community to share their stories! So many beautiful and funny stories all from our very own users! 

So, if you've got a precious pet you'd like to share and/or their story, be sure to follow us on Facebook! 

Recently, we asked our newest community users to send us photos of their pets and their best "If I Fits, I Sits," and all the responses were so heckin' cute, we decided to share them all! 

"Our Deputies are out there to keep the public safe. That also includes our furry family as well," tells sheriff Bartlett to NEWS 10 after rescuing a dog that feel through thin ice into the water, and we are so, so thankful that they came to rescue the pooch as fast as they did.

This could have ended up as any pet owner's worst nightmare, but luckily, this story has a happy ending. In the recent weeks, officials in the area have been warning the residents about the dangers of thin ice, and sadly, we found out that it's not just us humans who are at risk of falling through it. Shortly before noon on Friday, in Ancram, N.Y., the police got a call about a dog who fell through the ice. 

As NEWS 10 reports, Sergeant Heath Benansky, who is also a dog handler, was the first officer on the scene and successfully managed to get to the scared pup using a paddle board. He along with Deputy Torchia rescued the dog.  

"I am very happy to have such a well trained ice rescue team that was able to deploy so quickly. Had they not gotten there so fast, there could have been a much sadder outcome," said sheriff Bartlett.

The pooch was later identified as "Andy" and was returned safely to shore, and after finding Andy's owner through social media, she was returned to her owner as well. 

This is a lesson for all of us to learn to be more careful with our precious little pets, and thankfully, this lesson was learned with no permanent harm caused. It's the kind of happy ending story that we love to read about, and for more of those, read about an owl with three gunshot wounds getting released back into the wild. 

Let's be honest, all dogs are loveable goofballs, but huskies... are extra goofball-y. 

They are so beautiful, and they're the silliest dumb dumbs that we love more than anything in the world and would do anything for. Endless energy and shenanigans to no end, there's no way anyone could ever not love huskies. And if they really don't love them: first of all, they're wrong, and second of all, we're about to prove to them exactly why they should.

Have a barktastic day, dog lovers, and for more doggo joy, check ouy some pawfectly howlarious doggo memes. 

The magic that is dogs! It's something we can't quite put into words. Dogs are sparks of energy, life, and happiness. And they bring those same qualities out in the people that see or meet them. They're special. That's all there is to it. Dogs are the ultimate happiness train that we all wish to be on forever. 

Once a week, we try to bring that doggo magic and deliver it here to you, in the form of memes or snaps. Sometimes both! The joy and love for doggos is endless and we're just here to help spread that joy and love even further. Give ready to have a big goofy smile plastered all over your lovely face! 

Pets. How different our lives are when we have a loving animal with us. You may not even realize it, but little things in your life are altered thanks to your adorable companion. One artist decided to explore what life would be like without a dog, and the exact same scenario with a dog. To take in the pup or say, "no, thank you," that is the question and will lead this character down two different timelines. The result? It's as clear as night and day.

The talented artist behind these powerful illustrations is Ademar Vieira. Ademar Vieira is a journalist, screenwriter, and illustrator. He works in an animation studio in Brazil and since 2018, he produces comic books in partnership with other illustrators and alone. In 2020, his comic strips, which talk about social, environmental, and personal issues, went viral in Latin America and other parts of the world.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and these illustrations convey those thousand words.

The dog is here to stay for now, and Earnie doesn't understand why and doesn't like it. He does still like the cuddles with the dog though. He just misses alone time with his humans.

Meowmoirs: The dog drank water from the toilet, and Earnie doesn't know how to handle it.

Happy Friday, beautiful readers! And welcome back to one of our original (and favorite) weekly segments -- the newly adopted faces of the week! There's truly nothing more heartwarming than seeing these lovely animals find their forever loving home! It simply makes our hearts burst all over the floor, and we have no intention of cleaning it up. 

We would like to take a moment to thank all those who have recently adopted, all those who have adopted in the past, and those who will adopt in the future. These animals have a loving home, thanks to you. And a huge, mega heartfelt thank you to all those who have adopted a senior animal or an animal that may require a bit more tender love and care. You are, as always, our forever heroes.
