puppy

gasp did you feel that? It's the ghost puppy licking the tip of your nose. Oh my god, we know, it's terrifying. 

Seriously thought, ghost puppies, we would argue, are the least terrifying ghosts out there in the ether. They, of course, don't know that they are in fact supposed to be acting like ghosts and instead act like super excited puppies. They are even extra excited because their owners are laughing and cooing over them having a sheet over their heads- I mean, ghosts, they're ghosts, it's not a costume. Don't be fooled, they are incredibly spooky and not adorable at all. Shh!

Every dog owner has probably thought to themselves at some point: "my god, my dog is the cutest dog in the whole world." You're right, of course, to you, your dog is the cutest dog for real. A couple days ago, a twitter user called @verbalese decided to announce to the world that their dog is indeed the cutest dog, challenging other twitter users to come at them, and the rest... is history.

Countless people started responding to that tweet with adorable pictures of their own doggos, answering the challenge in a heartbeat, to the point that the original challenger conceded and said that they were wrong, that there are so many super sweet doggos, that the whole thread has melted their cold heart, and that they love (hate) everyone who participated. 

Honestly, the real winners of the competition are us, getting look at all these most adorable good bois. Going through this thread had us losing it over the cuteness, going like: "oh, he's the cutest- no, she's the cutest- no, he's the cutest- no, she's-"

Come get your fresh doggo memes! Hmmm they smell rebarkable! Exactly what you need to get through this ruff day!

We know that dog memes hold the kind of energy in them that hits us right in our doggo--lovin' hearts. So, we make sure to - week by week - bring you the best fresh dog memes and give you a pawerful boost that'll both make you laugh and make you desperately want to cuddle a doggo. Wanting to cuddle dogs is a consequence of seeing any dog picture though, so we digress. 

May these puppylicious memes bring you some joy, may the rest of your week pass easily, and we wish you come across a doggo this week that'll lick you nose. 

In late August, fifteen French bulldog puppies were rescued from a O'Hare International Airport warehouse after being neglected. A few days ago, after an effort of over one hundred thousand people, including the rescuers, a congressman, and about 120,000 people who have signed a petition, these puppies were given a reprieve and are able to stay in the US permanently in the hands of their rescuers.

We're all aware of cats and their weird obsessions with sitting inside things, but you might be surprised that this aawdorable habit extends to doggos as well. At least when it comes to hanging out in bags. I mean... they do know that bags = walk, so maybe it isn't that surprising.

Regardless, it sure is adorable! They're sleepy, they're excited, or they're ready for an adventure, seeing the world from a new vantage point and getting to relax and not do any of the leg work. We love puppies, we love puppies in bags, and with some work, any doggo - no matter how big -can be a bag doggo. 

If you're having a ruff week, you came to the right place. Every week, we try to uplift your mood with some fresh off the rack doggo memes. We know that there's nothing more effective at bringing someone joy than some howlarious puppy memes, and you know - we've always gotcha covered. 

Take a second, let yourself have a moment to rest, you've only got a little of the week left to get through, and you deserve a breather for all the work that you already did. Fill your break with hilarious puppy and doggo memes because you know that anything funny to do with dogs will put a smile on your face, and come back next week for more! :D

Have you ever looked a dog in the eye and felt hypnotized? Felt like you would give anything and everything to that puppy to make them happy? Felt like their eyes were piercing right into your soul? Then you have met the original creator of the "puppy dog eyes". 

Dogs are adorable regardless of that they do. But when they do puppy dog eyes, there's nowhere to escape. You know you'll give them that treat when they give you those eyes, and they know it too. The assumption is that dogs have developed this ability to raise their inner eyebrows like that, making them look sadder and more innocent, baby-like, to get along better with humans. And whether that's true or not, we definitely know that it works. Staring into those wide eyes just gives us butterflies and makes our hearts flip, and we hope this collection of adorable puppies will do the same for you.

Tao, a 10-year-old blind golden retriever just got a new friend. Another puppy! And not just any puppy, but a puppy named Oko who helps him get through the difficulties he's facing due to his blindness. Tao has been on Instagram for a while and has more than 14 thousand followers, but suddenly, a few months back, a new dog, Oko, started appearing in almost all of his pictures - out on walks with him, sleeping with him, eating with him, and generally looking like he's helping him navigate life more easily, and we think it's one of the most adorable things in the world. 

We can all agree that 2020 has been a strange year to say the least. All the way back in January when we thought world war 3 was going to break out to now a pandemic, and of course, politics. It feels like every day, we're confronted with different political scandals and stories, and sometimes we wish we could just... turn off the news without them following us. Today, in our animal world on Cheezburger, we are celebrating a special holiday - Dog in Politics Day.

We know, we know, more politics?! But this is special, we promise. Dogs in politics is something incredibly special and heartwarming, and elected dog mayors are even more adorable than most. On top of that, they are the easiest candidates ever to pick. I mean... they may get a little dictatorial and make all of us give them treats and rub their bellies endlessly, but their commands are ones we are more than happy to fulfill. 

So, on this special day, we are showcasing all of the dogs in the US who have been elected mayors - dogs who spend their lives serving the American public and making sure that all of our lives are rebarkable!

Andrew, a four-year-old cancer patient who has just gone through chemotherapy for a cancerous brain tumor had his 'wish' granted. A puppy. That's what Andrew asked for since he loves the "Paw Patrol" cartoon so much. As it is, this story is already heartwarming, but what makes it all the more special is that the person who sponsored this 'wish' is a six-year-old cancer survivor herself. 

In the midst of the raging California wildfires, it's hard to find many positive news. We've all heard of the damage, and we're all aware of the pain. But even within all the difficulty, some things we can still be grateful for. One of those things is Trooper - a small adorable puppy that was discovered in one of the areas damaged by the fires a few days ago.

Every week, we bring you a new collection of animal pictures that are simply too incredible to describe in anything less than 1000 words. Some pictures are just like that, the stories behind them are too vast and complex. And many times, even though we may not know the story, it takes all but one glimpse to know that it's there. Something must have led to this special moment in time being caught, either something hilarious, adorable, or shocking. 

So, look at these incredible photos and let your imagination take over. Who knows? Maybe you'll see one that will inspire you and have you wanting to make something incredible of your own.

This adorable little corgi was born with a birth defect - she has a single eye, two noses, and two united vertebrae on her back. Nekku, this corgi from Finland, is living happily and prosperously despite all the odds being against her. The vets suggested putting Nekku down, but her owner decided that he loved her too much and had to keep her, and now, she is eight years old and thriving with another two fellow corgis. 

We're not crying -- you're crying! 

This is beyond heartwarming! Imagine growing up, feeling/looking different than others, and the moment you go to an adoption center to find your new best friend - they look like you. 

That's exactly what happened when sweet 2-year-old Bentley meet his new puppy. Bentley had already had surgeries for the cleft lip and it isn't even noticeable today. Yet, he came across a puppy that reminded him of himself, and they instantly fell in love with each other. 

The Jackson County Animal Shelter, Michigan, shared this beautiful moment between Bentley and his new puppy on their Facebook, which went viral and racked up 33k shares. 

We wish this perfect pair all the best and many years of love and joy ahead of them! 

Our hearts cannot commute this insane level of cute. 

They. Just. Can't. 

We can feel them bursting into a million pieces and melting into the floor. That's how we feel whenever see a photo such as the fallery of puppies below. What is it about them that makes us feel so gooey? Their smolness? Their smiles? Is it that purity that engulfs you whenever you look into their eyes? It's everything. They are just too good and we humans do not deserve them.
