As silly goofballs, dogs have got the charisma it takes to provide us with top-tier meme content. As domesticated pack animals, they have the social skills to become heckin’ friends and even serve some people as trained therapeutic animals. The Dank Doggos (For Depressed Dudes) Facebook group unites these two concepts in spectacular fashion.

As instrumental as cats were in the genesis of meme history, dogs have had no lesser a role in the contemporary proliferation of memes. One need only to look at the doge and cheems memes and all derivations thereof - some of the greatest manifestations of canine memery.

BoredPanda also contacted the Dank Doggo page admin, Sam Horn, to hear what it's like running such a fun and successful Facebook meme page. The story of why he created the page in the first place is both heartbreaking and beautiful:

"I wanted some way to memorialize them when they begin to get old and I also was a big fan of memes/dog memes at the time. Most of my early profile/cover photos on the page include my 3 dogs. This was also during the inception of "doggo", "blep" and "mlem" dog terminology that has become a norm for dog memes. Dank Doggos Memes started to take on a life of its own and grow as I shared memes I started sharing less and less of my dogs. They passed away in 2019 as they all grew old and I keep my cover photo as them."

"Personally, I am VERY biased towards Unreasonably/Unethically Large doggos, commonly referred to as "Chonks" or "Boofers"," Horn told us. As for memes, "my favorite templates to share are very goofy, unexpected, out of context memes of people walking in on their animals. In terms of format, text above and below on a white border around the photo OR photos with Snapchat text receive the most consistent reach/likes."

Horn also shared some data that we won't republish to show that the page was indeed quite successful. "I was not expecting this as the majority of my likes are outside the US and may not speak English as a primary language. 2019-2021 I mainly shared photos that did TEXT contain to help with the language barrier but I found from 2021-Current that having text increased the Reach on my page."

He may not be your dog, but you are absolutely part of his pack

The sheer relief you'd feel seeing a booper come through the snow.

My dog also only eats when we come home. If I give him some treats before leaving, he'd only focus his attention on me and would accompany me to the door and be very attentive at me, take care of the treats while I'm gone and then the first thing he does when I come home is take his treats and bring them to me. Also we went on vacation for 3 days one time but we left him plenty of food and water and he can also go outside whenever he wants to so that wasn't a problem. However the bowl was full, so that goes to show how much dogs love us and how hurt they are if you leave them. Do y'all remember those people who said dogs only love you because you give them food? Those people have no idea what it's like having a dog. Even if they do own one, it means they don't take care of them because they all show you how much they love you one way or another

It's called small dog syndrome, aggressive or over exaggerated behaviors shown by smaller dogs to compensate for their size. Occasionally shown by humans as well.

Omg lol. My previous rottie, Bowser, was a perfect gentleman. You could leave food out on coffee tables or anything, and he wouldn't touch. Then one day, he decided to treat himself when he was 10. My 4 y.o. niece had a pink bday cake sitting on our high kitchen table; I walked out to find 3 large bites out of the edge. Bowser was laying as far away as he possibly could be with no frosting on his face to incriminate him and looking innocent a.f., while my mom's very small dog was standing under the cake covered in pink frosting! He tried to frame my mom's dog who could not reach!!! 🤣

Sounds like it was actually the small dog to me. I had a very small dog 7 lbs. Things kept happening up high. Bread missing from the counters. Dirt thrown around from some very tall plant holders I had. Thought it must be the cat. No way he could reach. One day I'm sitting there and this tiny dog just boings up on the counter. No running start. Nothing. Some little dogs can jump really high.

We have so many pictures of birthday cakes from when we were little like that. Mom always made and decorated a birthday cake for us. Usually multi layered. After first time it happened, she would put the cake back further on counter or on top of taller piece of furniture. It became a yearly challenge between my mom and the dogs. Each year a smaller and smaller portion was able to be reached by doggy. The yearly progression of pictures were and are still so funny!! Initially doggy was able to lick lots of frosting off and even takes bites of cake at far as he could reach. Finally she was able to only lick a small area and no bites of cake. After that, mom finally won the yearly cake battle.

Had a Great Dane growing up. Butter was his thing. Couldn't leave butter out of the fridge. Didn't bite it; took the whole stick.

My sister was baking a casserole for a family dinner. We were in the living room while it was baking, my male dog began barking in the kitchen. When we went out, we found him barking at the hot casserole! He found out how to open the oven, but the food was too hot! We found out that both my dogs were apt at learning new skills when it came to food. Luckily, they never jumped on counters or tables and we learned to keep food away from the edges.

Having lived with dogs all my life, especially big ones, you were kinda asking for this.

My husband baked a ham for several hours, basting it and glazing it. We ran some down to my parents so they could have some for their early supper and when we arrived home the dog was chewing on the ham bone.
