What is it about animals that bring us so much joy? Sometimes, they're the only thing in our day that can actually cheer us up and make us smile. They have this wholesome power that is rare and hard to find amongst humankind. It does exist but with animals, it's almost a 100% thing. 

Animals bring us joy. And even though this tough year is nearly at its end, we can always use another burst of happiness to help us feel OK. We don't know what the new year will have in store for us, but one thing we can guarantee is that animals will always be there for us to make us smile, laugh, and feel heartwarming joy. 

Days are getting shorter and darker and we need some light to guide us through, if you're in need of extra light, you've come to the right place. 

Who is ready for their weekly prescription of cuteness? We know we are! Science tells us that looking at pics and vids of animals can relieve stress and we 1000% stand by that. How can you not believe it? Every time we see a gallery of cute animals, our hearts are at ease, it's a beautiful moment of inner happiness. 

Week by week, we bring you that tranquil feeling in this cuteness gallery. It's important that you take your weekly dose of cute to ensure inner peace. If you missed last week's dose, you can take it right now. The only side-effect you may experience is possible cuteness overdose. You have been warned, proceed with caution. 

We know that dogs are some of the nicest, gentlest creatures, but there's always some worry about the reaction the family pet will have to the new baby. It's hard, we're worried about both the baby and the dog - don't want the baby to be hurt or scared and don't want the doggo to be getting jealous of the new human in the house who will be getting endless attention. 

There's no reason to worry though, not with dogs, because dogs are absolutely amazing. More often than not, dogs become best friends with the tiny new humans, and we get to watch them grow up together and be each other's best friends. And it might be one of the most wholesome things we ever get to see, our gorgeous little gentle giant doggos growing up with our little tiny human babies.

Gooood morning, fellow animal lovers! You're in for a real treat this morning, seems like the wholesomeness vibe has been turned up as of late and we have a great collection of this week's best wholesome memes! Wholesome memes are memes that make us feel inner happiness, and when you include animals into the mix... well, it's pretty much the greatest combination of all time. 

We firmly believe that by ingesting this morning wholesome dose, you'll have a great start to another week, and hopefully, that greatness will just carry you out through the week. If you know you're in for a rough week, we recommend upping this wholesome dose to include last week's wholesome goodies as well. 

We wish you all a wonderful and wholesome week! 

Just as the week is ending, and you're looking for something to make the thought of the following week a little easier to digest, we are at the ready with some absolutely awwdorable pictures of dogs smiling. Yes, dogs can smile, and yes, it's the cutest thing in the world, and there's absolutely no way that you will be able to get through this entire page without cracking a smile of your own.  

Because there's absolutely nothing that makes us happier than happy animals. Smiling dogs, smiling cats, smiling foxes - yes, yes, it's muscles in the face doing some weird stuff and smiling is perhaps not the most accurate way of deriving whether an animal is joyous or not, but we love it anyway! Because we know that our animals are happy, we make sure of it, so their silly adorable wholesome little smiles make us smile too.

Sunday already? Wow, the weekend always flies by way too quickly for anyone's liking. Thankfully, we still have today to fully seize and we like to start that seizing with fresh animal memes! 

The best way to start the day is with a good laugh and what better than memes? Oh, we know the answer to that -- animal memes! Animals have the power to bring more joy into our lives so the combination of memes and animals is simply impossible to beat. Last week's hearty animal meme meal was especially nutritious, we hope to bring you the same quality today. 

This is definitely our favorite way to start the day we hope it brings you the same joy! Happy Sunday, everyone! 

There's nothing that we love more than our pets. Absolutely nothing. In every situation, no matter what they're doing, whether they're being cuties asking for pettings, or whether they're being the biggest hooligans, we love them forever and always. 

Catching pictures of them being total derps will always make us laugh. Every time we accidentally come across these pictures on our phones or computers, we laugh anew. They're some of the first pictures that we show people of our pets just to get them to laugh too. And it always works. It always makes everyone smile.

That's why the subreddit r/AnimalsBeingDerps is one of our ultimate favorites, because it gives us the bestest of derpiest animals. To share the smiles with you guys, we've brought you some of our favorite derps from the subreddit. 

We all know that heartwarming feeling that goes through our entire body when we see a service dog on the street because we know that these dogs are the purest, most wholesome and good kind of doggos. They help people and get little in return. We can only aspire to help human beings as much as these dogs are. 

The very least we can do for these service doggos is serve them back by learning about them and giving them as much love and support (and snacks) as we can. So, today, courtesy of a viral tumblr post, we are going to learn about these puppers and show them the love that they truly deserve. 

Doggo snaps are just pure happiness and love rolled into a single image. Dogs are undeniably wholesome and adorable, their energy is unmatched. If you are in the presence of any pup, we guarantee you they have the power to make you smile. Dogs are the answer the happiness, just like all pets are. 

We simply cannot get our fill of doggo snaps, they provide us with happy feels and we want to hold onto that feeling as long as possible. If for some reason, this hearty collection doesn't fill your happiness meter, you are more than welcome to recharge further with last week's gallery! There is always enough juice to go around! 

Welcome to our favorite wholesome segment of the week -- the newly adopted faces! You're in for a real treat, this week may be our largest gathering of adopted faces yet (so many rescues!) and each one is simply precious and oh so heartwarming! 

It makes our heart's so full and happy to see all these beautiful faces in their new forever homes. There is truly a no better sight! We would like to thank all those who recently adopted, all those who have adopted, and everyone who will adopt in the future. These gorgeous furbabies wouldn't have such a loving home if it weren't for you. And a special shout out to those who adopted seniors pets or those who are in need of some extra care and loving -- you guys are our forever heroes.

If you recently adopted a pet share an image with us in the comments below or send us a DM on Facebook to be featured on next week's list! 

The Zzz's are coming in hard and fast! It's pointless trying to fight off the inevitable, we are long overdue for a midday nap! 

We know what you're thinking, there's so much that needs to get done, there is simply no time for a nap. And honestly, we understand, but consider this: you've been working so hard for so long, we all deserve to treat ourselves once in a while and a nap is one of the greatest treats we can give our exhausted and overworked bodies. 

And if that doesn't convince you, then perhaps these sleepy pets below can persuade you to feel otherwise. 

Week by week, we bring you the best dog memes we can find so you have a barkingly good rest of the week. But you know what, this week has been hard, and the best memes we came across were wholesome and uplifting and paw-fect. So, we felt that the internet has told us that it's time for some wholesome doggo memes so that this week is better than the last. 

We hope this bartasticly wholesome doggo memes bring a smile to your face, because they sure did bring one to ours. For an extra kick of doggo goodness, take a look at this collection of tini-tiny puppers. And as always, our doggo wish for you this week is for you to get the biggest doggo lick every - right up your entire face. It's love, don't fight it.
