The “We Rate Dogs” Twitter Account With 9M Followers Rates People’s Dogs, And It’s As Hilarious As It Is Wholesome (50 New Pics)
If you own a dog, there is no way that your gallery isn’t filled with its pictures. Here it is sleeping, here it is running around, here you can see it waiting for food, then sleeping again, and, oh, look how cute it’s sleeping in this one. Anyone with a dog knows how photogenic they can be and, in most cases, they want to show it to the world.
Luckily, with social media, it’s never been easier. Not only that, there’s a way to add adorable captions to the pictures, and that’s what the Twitter account We Rate Dogs does. Its creator, Matt Nelson, rates dogs in pictures people submit and provides funny yet spot-on comments about them. Today we want to share another selection of some of the goodest boys found on We Rate Dogs. If you want to see the previous ones, you can check them out here, here, here, here, and here.

Wonderdog to the rescue!!, So clever. And that beautiful smile!! He has it all! 100%. Much love x
My 1 year old got hit by rattlesnake, we have no emergency animal clinic where we live. Gave him a Benadryl, and held him all night till morning. Took him to vet, and he made it. You have one brave pup... So happy you still have him.🐕💕
WeRateDogs helped pay for doggo recovery?? Silver medal Heros!!
Not taking pictures of your dog is nearly impossible. They’re just too cute, and Matt Nelson sure knows it. He’s been rating and commenting on pictures of puppers since 2015, which have added to thousands if not millions of witty lines.
What started as a Twitter poll on his personal account (asking if he should create one for rating dogs) grew to a project encompassing over 9 million followers, uncountable re-shares, several publications, charity work, and much more. All from commenting on our often weird, hilarious, adorable doggos.
I really don't understand the point of this. This is a dog. It is automatically without question about 20/10 being great, adorable, beautilful and perfect by nature. How do you compare a perfect creature and a perfect creature?
It's very hard but we are human and we can't help ourselves.
Load More Replies...Little Winnie just made my day. Just wish I could reach out and give her a big cuddle. Sweetness and cuteness beyond words.💕
Winnie ... so pretty and precious. Those big brown eyes could melt alot of hearts x
Guess what's more tiring than being a puppy? Being a puppy that can't breathe. It's not cute - bloody sad is what it is.
I do agree with that statement, but if this person didn’t specifically breed this dog, then I see nothing wrong with the owner giving this pup a loving home ❤️
Load More Replies...never seen a bulldog puppy before...can safely say... AWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!1
In addition to providing entertaining content, Matt also makes sure to help dogs in need as much as he can. Ever since he started the Twitter account, he has shared numerous GoFundMe campaigns, raising millions of dollars to help provide medical assistance to the furballs that need it.
Moreover, back in 2020, he launched the ‘15/10 Foundation’ devoted to helping dogs with behavioral or medical issues that live in shelters. The name of the nonprofit marks the highest rating a critter has ever received on We Rate Dogs.
Left-handed trombones? Two of them even? Pictures (and scenes in movies) like this make my blood boil. Great doggo, on the other hand. Mine sometimes sings along when I am practicing.
My little brother was a drummer I feel this expression to my deepest core.
If you’re going to give them trombones at least put them together correctly! 😂
I'd like to watch the soft can-opener trying to train a dog to do this.
Matt’s initiative to help dogs with behavioral or medical issues didn’t stop with creating the foundation. He himself has adopted an elderly German shepherd named Doug. In addition to health problems, Doug’s old age makes him a less likely candidate to be picked up by people looking for a pet in shelters.
According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), over 6 million companion animals end up in shelters each year in the US alone, roughly half of which (3.1 million) are dogs.
We celebrate with her! The world is a better place with Jessi in it
I'm sorry to hear that. Sending you a hug because losing pets is awful
Load More Replies...I love every aspect of this!!! The jacket, the stubby legs and long body, the velvet ears, the expression that is clearly demanded we explain this sky water nonsense! Oh my goodness I’m melting!
Looks fake. A real tennis ball is not huge no dog alive is that small and looks like that
Load More Replies...This can't be right. No dog with all that hair can be that small.
It's a huge tennis ball. That's the joke lmao
Load More Replies...That's impossible. A grain of rice would frighten him. It must be Shaq's tennis ball.
It can be cute AND also misrepresented in the photo. Imagine a tennis ball, and then it towering over a dog. Besides maybe newborn puppies of a certain breed, That would never be the case, and this dogs eyes are wide open and he's clearly not in the earliest stages of life. Also those dome things behind are not that far away and tony considering they're meant for humans to sit and stand on. So yeah, cute dog, but would have been better just mugging for the camera like most of the others and not photoshopped into a lie.
As We Rate Dogs’ popularity grew, it became clear that Twitter alone might not be enough for the public. And so, back in 2017, a book was born. Called “We rate dogs: The most adorable and hilarious pups you’ve ever seen”, it features some of the best picture-comment combos, as well as information behind the process of rating the puppers.
Absolutely brilliant. I have never understood why apartments can charge an extra fee to have an animal companion. My kids wreaked more havoc than any of my dogs or cats!
yes we need kid fees instead of pet fees! The worst things a pet can do is have accidents and bark/meow/other animal noises. Kids scream and cry and run around and most aren't very cute and pettable
Load More Replies...Pet fees should be illegal. Apartment complexes don't charge a "kid rent", why should we pay pet rent? I'm willing to post a damage deposit, as long as it's refundable if there's no damage.
Sorry to report one of the dogs didn’t make it back alive. Died during a failed rescue. 😔
This Mexican group named TOPOS is very famous AND they pay for their way themselves as there is no support from the government ( the norm in Mexico for everything citizens need) . Go Topos!
This picture made me both smile and tear up. That sweet girl deserves all the happiness.
If you already have the book, you might want to check out the We Rate Dogs calendars as well. Started in 2019, these publications show off exceptional doggos with ratings higher than 10, and melt your heart one page at a time.
Obviously she just wanted to remind you her bowl is EMPTY. the audacity to not feed this baby
Well, who says dogs can't talk? That says it for me. . . the bowl is empty!
Mine too! I mean, I love them all, but the "not a dog" ones are hilarious!
Load More Replies...“fear not, i bring good news” says the bible somewhere (i dont remember where exactly and i dont care to check)
It's in the Christmas story part when the angel was talking to the shepherds
Load More Replies...My dog always sits with his front paws crossed like this. His hair wouldn't fan out all smooth like this sweetie tho. Even geeky brushed, mine looks a little scruffy.
Should say freshly brushed, not geeky. Autocorrect strikes me again
Load More Replies...Cats, on the other paw, more resemble fallen angels. *sings MaCavity*
An angel who just stepped out of a salon? More beautiful hair than I will ever have!
We Rate Dogs is not the only canine-related Twitter account that Matt Nelson is responsible for. He’s also the mastermind behind Thoughts of Dog, beloved and followed by over 3.6 million people on Twitter. Equally as charming, it allows us to catch a glimpse of what is happening in the heads of our four-legged friends.
One day I heard some noise. Cutting off radio. Rolling down windows. My Chihuahua was shoulder deep my ICEE cup.
Oh my goodness that is the most floof ever!!! Is it a Newfie? We had an all black Newfie when I was a little kid. Amazing dog, but a bit drooly. We had a “guzzle rag” at all times.
yes! Our cats get treats if they get in the carrier without struggle, and they get treats if they were good at the vet. When we come home we just set the carriers on the floor and open them so they can get out at anytime if they feel okay with it. All four are normally out of the carrier in like 10 minutes lol. Our little kitten had her first actual appointment a few days ago and the vet was giving her a shot while the tech was near her face standing there a the sweetie got closer to the tech to try and hide. She's the sweetest cat I've ever met and hasn't disliked anyone she's met. In a few months she'll be a year old and she only weighs 6 pounds and the vet said she's probably not getting any bigger! <3
Load More Replies...This picture - and Tuna's name - made my day, and I'm the ultimate cat person
Always follow a trip to the vet to a trip to the park after. He will be sitting there wagging his little tail.
In an interview with Twitter, Matt said he wanted to make people laugh, and he decided to use this social networking service to do it. “I was interested in comedy in general, and the platforms that people were using to create. So Twitter was a place where I attempted to do that. Eventually, I honed in on a style and a voice that worked for me,” he shared. (Twitter later rated Matt himself and gave him a solid 13/10.)
I am not a beliver, but I wish something extreem for those that did that (bait dog)
I had no concept bait dogs was a "thing." How can someone's mind go there? Happy for Van... sad for the others that aren't so lucky.
Even just the two words "bait dog" make me sick. I am so glad this baby can find some happiness now.
Poor baby, whoever mistreated him deserves a very long and harsh prison stint.
I never heard of a bait dog so I googled it. It has provoked my wrath.
I think daisy would reduce my productivity and anxiety.... massively increasing my happiness instead. Beautiful older lady
all of these are massively reducing my anxiety rn. And I was just in public so that's a huge milestone
Load More Replies...My heart!! My first dog was a blond Cocker Spaniel named Daisy, this just made my day. 🥰
My childhood next-door neighbours had a dog that looked exactly like this
Content as such not only spreads positivity and provides a much-needed giggle, it also shows how colorful life with a dog can be. These images, as well as Matt’s own example, can encourage people to adopt or support dogs in whatever way they can.
The American Pet Products Association survey, presented by the Humane Society, revealed that roughly 40% of dogs in the US have been adopted from a shelter or a rescue group. In addition to that, it pointed out that as much as 7% of the country’s population owns one.
The other two..."Don't look at him. He's at it again. It will just encourage him. "
I can imagine them saying “he’s at it again”. “Just ignore him, and don’t look at him.” 6Yeah, Let him get it out of his system then we can get back to it.” 🤣
Load More Replies...flat tire. can be repaired with treats and lots of belly rubs. Lead dog had enough of moonmoon today
Lots more fun to fix this kind of flat tire! And yeah, the other dogs look like "get up and pull your weight!"
Load More Replies...Husky genes tend to beat the cråp out of the other genes in the pool. My younger dog is only half Husky genetically, but 100% Husky behaviorally.
Goddamn you should see my heckin doggo. She is the true master.
Load More Replies...I have not laughed in a very long time. Thank you so much for sharing this photo.
It looks like maybe it’s trying to swim, but there isn’t any water lol
Even though roughly half of the doggos in US households are mixed breed, people favor some more than others when it comes to purebreds. 2022 data uncovered some shocking statistics—the Labrador retriever, which has been number one since 1991, is now the runner-up, surpassed by the French bulldog. Provided by the American Kennel Club, the ratings show that the two are followed by the Golden retriever, the German shepherd, and the poodle respectively.
Run. Take her out, wrap her in a towel, hide all sharp objects, and run
Even though they are often capable of creating total chaos all around, canines can have a positive affect on our mental well-being. The life coach and mindfulness meditation teacher Caren Osten pointed out that dogs help relieve stress, as well as provide comfort and a sense of purpose. They also motivate us to spend more time outdoors or socializing and are even able to decrease loneliness and depression.
We could tell that our old dog Winnie was growing deaf when he was still on the couch when we got home, instead of innocently standing not even near it.
Seems like dogs are really getting the hang of couches lately. Well done!
It's even funnier when they slide one foot onto the floor as if to say, "See, I'm not really on the couch."
that stick is worthy of a knighting of bravery he shall now be know as sir basil
It is hard to know which end of a Corgi is the cutest. Those sweet faces or their butts.
Ok, Basil now has to come and be my doggie! I will play pick up sticks with him!

But why did you Photoshop off the legs and tail? Makes no sense to me! :-(
When I was going to college in Manhattan from my home on Staten Island, I would walk 25 minutes up to the train station. On the way, I had to budget a few minutes to stop for a visit with a really nice Basset Hound. We'd chat over the fence like this. Months after I first met him, I went by there in the afternoon and he came over to greet me, and his human came over and asked if I was the morning visitor. It was okay. His name was Edgar.
If I had to stop to say hello to a Basset Hound, that would be the end of my day and that's as far as I would get. LOVE Basset Hounds!!!!!
Load More Replies...One house I walked by on my way home from school had two golden retrievers. Sometimes I’d stop and pet them, toss the ball for them a few times, etc. One day, they were outside the fence with their human mama and saw me walking up. They both ran right to me. Their mama didn’t mind because she knew I was friendly to them.
Put a Walmart vest on him and he’d be perfect for the job 😊
Load More Replies...Looks like Bob Ross' doggy! "Let's just paint a little floof over here....yeah...there she is..." (my best Bob Ross impression)
Distantly related to hedgehogs....with soft floof evolved to replace sticky spines so they can still search our hoomans for cuddles
Omg he's beautiful! And bonus pets for Phantom of the Opera being his favorite musical, its mine too :)
Beautiful sweet baby. You love them unconditionally and they give you life!!
Great! Now I need to get that out to watch again! One of my favorite movies (and characters) growing up!
Load More Replies...He has been working for 1 month. He has been made employee of the month twice
As happy as I am for Spike, he's not the oldest dog in the world. Not even close. The oldest is Bobi, he's 30 and also the oldest dog ever. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobi_(dog)

Load More Replies...Again, I need a dog that's 45 pounds and up. Anything snake than my cat is crazy.
Positive thoughts work! See, you made it home to her and she's really happy about that.
Looks like I could use a little belly rub on my sweet stomach. That would make you feel better.
If that pup grows into those paws there's gonna be hell to pay, lol.
OH MY GOODNESSSS LOOK AT THAT ADORABLE HORSE PUPPY GREATDANE FACEEEEEE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH <3 <3 <3
The face that says "I will remember this when I am 165 lbs..... I will sit on you head while you sleep!"
I want to love it but I sort of feel bad for it! Is it uncomfortable? Is it a healthy weight? I think I’m just concerned about how this hairball came to be.
I'm guessing this doggo is 80% floof.....and 100% hoping I'm right as it's not good to overfeed your pups
Load More Replies...I just don't like these kinds of grooming styles. She looks like an accessory rather than a dog who wants to race around and play.
Why would you do this to a poor little doggo? Now the cats are gonna make fun of her!
Go to your local shelter or humane society and rescue a dog who is about to get killed rather than enrich some disgusting breeder.
Load More Replies...It is a sad thing to make a dog look like a monkey, even sadder when they know it too. . .!
Instead of CatDog it's DogDog...🎶Alone in the world is a little DogDoggggg!🎶
I miss my favorite cartoon! But this'll do for now.

Meg, you are absolutely gorgeous. You're the most photogenic blond I've seen in a long while.
I live in Finland so I simply do not get myself an animal that would suffer here. Owners' choice owners' responsibility! Only buy dogs meant for like Mexican climate if you can provide the climate people.
And the reverse. Cruel to keep a husky in a centrally heated house
Load More Replies...Im American. From Arizona where it gets in 40sC. My boyfriend lives in Canada. My Chihuahua and I spent the winter with him. Pixie was not impressed with the cold. And we couldn't find little boots that fit her. She does have many new sweaters though.
I'm ready for my close up if you're taking you're sweet time with my play schedule.
A beautiful grumpy Gus and loved all the more for it. I've got one too.
Funny! My name is also Finn! Does this mean I'm a dog? But I'm a cat! This can't be!!!
What a missed opportunity to say, "She needed a pick-me-up and it's ok if you do too!" 😅
My doxie would accidentally "eat" his ears when he was that small. Then when he would growl and bark at them for getting in his way. Some battles you just can't win...
Think this is funny Linda? How about I poop in your new shoes huh? Still think it's funny Linda?
Still posted it on social media though? Shouldn't do Gene dirty like that.
it wouldent make scence though because the head is also the same color and the body

I think beautiful and striking Gracie actually wants to see that Dalmatian movie again. We might have a little crush on Pongo.
where is the doggo, I definitely cannot see it!! cuteness overload
Getting Clifford vibes with the one with him looking into the bakery window.
This is actually the biggest miniature town in the world. I've always wanted to see it
I absolutely love when a cute doggo is looking at another one with admiration ❤️ it's so great, I can't even..
Wow....so glad we don't have that worry in the UK...however, I hated leaving the dogs out the garden when they were puppies unattended due to the large number of hawks where we live. The hawks are known to take rabbits, and my pups were smaller, would have made an easy snack for them
These are also hawk armor too. Just a generic “I will stab you” jacket.

You know he's working hard on it if that tongue is sticking out, that gives extra concentration power!
Zoey why are you embarrassed? The rest of us should be, we don’t have as good a sense of fashion as you do.
Get well soon Bonnie! Maybe leave flying up to the birds and conquer the ground with your cuteness!!!
