“Told My Wife I Didn’t Want Another Dog, I Was Wrong”: 50 Of The Purest Dog Photos (New Pics)
There are few things on the planet that are almost universally loved. High-quality chocolate, driving home while coasting through every green light and beautiful sunsets tend to make most people smile. And when it comes to animals, there’s one that the world just can’t get enough of: dogs.
From precious puppies with huge eyes to adorable seniors that know their owner’s routine like the back of their paw, dogs have the ability to melt people’s hearts like nothing else. So if you’re a canine lover, you’re in for a treat. We took a trip to r/Aww and compiled some of their sweetest photos of man’s best friend down below. We hope you enjoy scrolling through these heartwarming pics, whether you consider yourself a dog person or not, and be sure to upvote the ones that make you say, “Aww!”

Our Pup Was Diagnosed With Cancer, We Were Told He Had ~9 Days To Live. We Just Passed 9 Weeks!
Congrats. I just lost one of my girls to this b!tch of a disease a couple months ago. Glad you still have your puppers.
I'm really sorry, Bookworm. I know how much that hurts.

This always hearts my heart to think of losing one of my dearest friends this way.
My Rescue Pup Finally Felt Safe Enough To Sleep On Me
I'm reading this as my rescue is asleep on my foot. Nothing beats the trust of a rescue dog.
You are doing great. Keep up the good work (okay so it's not really work) but keep it up
If you’ve ever had a dog, you know exactly why these precious creatures are considered man’s best friend. They’re friendly, affectionate, intelligent, hilarious and often, even better companions than other humans. Dogs have absolutely captured the hearts of so many people around the world, so it’s no surprise that they’re the most popular pet in the United States!
PetMD reports that 65.1 million households in the U.S. currently have at least one dog, while only 46.5 million homes have a cat. And when it comes to the most popular dog breeds, French Bulldog is currently in the lead. However, Labrador Retrievers were the top dog for over three decades prior to 2023, so they’ll always be one of America’s favorite breeds.
Lovely Eyes Full Of Love

Someone Got Called A Good Boi

She Has Officially Fallen In Love
🥰 🎶 🥰 'The look of love is in your eyes.. A look your heart can't disguise...'' A classic, originally recorded by Dusty Springfield, c. 1967, and covered by many.
So why exactly are dogs the most popular pet? Well, Farm to Pet notes on their site that one of the main reasons is due to how dogs affect us emotionally. Studies have shown that simply looking into your dog’s eyes can increase your oxytocin levels while simultaneously decreasing your stress levels. So don't hesitate to gaze into those precious puppy eyes!
Plus, anyone who’s ever owned a dog knows how secure it feels to come home to man’s best friend. Your furry companion is always thrilled to see you, and they’ll do anything to protect you. They somehow know how to tune into your emotions, whether you’re ready to play or need to be comforted on the couch. Dogs are truly magical creatures!

Hello There!! 👋
"Excuse me Sir, do you have time to talk about our Lord and Savior?"
Another reason why we just can’t get enough of dogs is because of the social benefits we gain from having one. Most doggos love being around people and other dogs, so we can take them almost anywhere with us! Walking your dog is also one of the best ways to meet new people around the neighborhood, as your pet will always be an instant conversation starter.
It Doesn’t Get Any Cuter Than This
I had pups that were litter mates and slept in a heart shape. Never sneaky enough to get a photo without waking the little babies up.
Its That Day Again When We Worship Our Loyal Dogs In Nepal And She Is Happy!!!

That's just one day! Here at home, I worship my personal bodyguard (Beagle) every, single, day!..oh, right! And our Supreme Ruler (cat "Mr. Bigotes") as well
Always wanted to know the significance of the Ash Weds distinction in red and does this mean she got a treat?
Best Selfie Of Day!
✨Best selfie of the YEAR! Breaking stereotypes is THE best! (I think dogs might have capybara in their lineage.)
There are also many physical benefits you'll experience when you have a dog. These fur babies need lots of exercise, so as an owner, you’re going to have to take them on plenty of walks and run around with them as much as you can. You might even go on runs or bike rides with your canine best friend trotting alongside you. Your lifestyle will almost certainly become more active once you get a dog, and you’ll be thankful for all of the endorphins that come from running around with your best friend!
My Golden Brings Me This Old Rug Every Time I Come Home To Wish Me A Warm Welcome

My sister went to get a rescue as company for her dog. She ended up with a brother & sister that had been chained to a fence and abandoned. No way she could take just one of them.

I know nothing about dogs. Can I ask… can homeless dogs be picked up and trained for all these types of skills? Or is that a stupid q?
In my county a rescue staffie puppy was trained as a police sniffer dog, she's only just retired (Stella the staffie if anyone wants to look her up)
Load More Replies...Dogs aren’t only great for our physical health, though. They can do wonders for our mental health as well. A survey by the American Psychiatric Association found that 69% of dog owners say that their pet helps reduce their stress and anxiety, provides unconditional love and support and offers companionship. Two thirds of respondents also said their dog provides a calming presence, and nearly two thirds consider their fur baby to be a true friend.
This Is My Dog’s Favourite Toy. He Refuses To Chew On It And He Sleeps With It Every Night
OMG my dog had the exact same toy! He loved it. It makes a noise just like a real pig grunting when chewed on.

There’s no question that owning a dog will increase your quality of life. But there are some important things to know before you go adopting the first pup that catches your eye at the shelter. Bringing a dog home is a huge lifestyle change, so the NHSPCA recommends first making sure that you’re prepared to care for a dog for the next 10-15 years. Unless you’re adopting a senior, your pet will, hopefully, have a long, full life. Make sure you're ready to make a long-term commitment to them.
This Dog On My Flight
I've said before. Keep the pets up front, the kids in the hold. I'd even pay extra for a doggy flight

Its sign is the constellation Canis Major, Sirius is its star. All it wants is love, love, love.
Alaskan Malamute! They have brown almond-shaped eyes - never blue, never particolored. They have the most adorable, tiny little big feet that don't hurt when they step on their human’s foot.
Load More Replies...It’s important that your lifestyle suits having a dog too. If you work in an office for 40 hours a week, and you’ll have to leave your pet at home alone, you might want to consider a cat instead. Dogs need to be let outside every few hours to do their business, and they can become extremely lonely if they don’t get enough human interaction. Plus, they need plenty of exercise. So it’s just cruel to adopt a dog then force them to sit at home alone for many hours each day.
Meet My New Newfoundland, Wendy. She's A Bit Shy
Don't worry, the shyness is only temporary! (She'll be a big girl when she grows into those feet!!!)
Smoll, Round Specimen
It's cute. Just seems weird to breed an animal into this potato with constant health problems if people actually cared about it.
Trying My Best To Draw Him
Another important factor to consider before bringing a dog home is how much it will cost. Yes, you will absolutely love your animal. But if you can’t afford food, toys and trips to the vet, you might want to hold off. Rover reports that the upfront costs of adopting a furry friend range between $1,150 and $4,420. And each year, owners should expect to spend between $1,390 and $5,295 on their beloved pet.
