There are a few foolproof ways to make your day brighter and dogs are one of them. Petting or just seeing a fuzzy friend is almost always a guaranteed way to bring on a smile.
The Instagram page ‘Dog Pix’ collects memes that most dog owners will find very very relatable. And to find out more about dog behavior, we contacted canine training specialist Damon McCook at Good Citizen K9 to give some advice to owners and clarify if old dogs actually can learn new tricks.
So, dear Panda’s, upvote your favorites and if you need more fluffy goodness in your life, check out Bored Panda’s other collections of doggy memes here.

Rephrase this as "This is the cancer curing doggo. Upvote this good boy and all cancer disappears".....sounds stupid doesn't it......just like the original 'meme'.
Thank you, I came to say this. Depression is a real illness, stuff like this is painful to hear.

The only easy money plan I like to see on Bored Panda!
Load More Replies...Why can't mine do this. If I call the one and she doesn't come it's cause she's rolling in pheasant, chicken, or turkey poop
Great Pyrenees are protective over livestock, which is why they excel working on farms. It makes sense the dog stayed with fawn considering it’s breed. Hope the little one was brought to a rehab facility in time.
Probably not necessary. Does deliberately leave their fawns while they go to feed, it doesn't mean that the fawn is abandoned. Remove the dog from the situation and the doe will probably return. Only if the fawn is in imminent danger or has been monitored for 24 hours without any sign of the mother should it be moved from the area.

He knows The Rule! When an animal lays on you, you are legally prohibited from moving until they get up
Now he knows how it feels to have an animal smaller than him sit on him when he needs to move!
Aw, poor Ted. He doesn't look a worry at all I'd not automatically pull my dogs away. I look at body language and so do they!
They are very misunderstood doggos. My English Bulldog, Zoe, is a grunter/groaner. She's very vocal when you pet her. I've had people ask why is she growling at me? So every time she meets people the first thing I say is "She isn't growling.... that's her love noises!"
Are those noises a result of obstructed air passages due to a short to non existent nose?
Load More Replies...We reached out to Damon McCook at Good Citizen K9 to ask a few questions about dog behavior that owners might benefit from. As much as we love them, dogs will misbehave, often without knowing it. Your pet might think it completely reasonable to jump all over the couch or take your food directly from the table. “Punishment doesn’t change behavior, it only suppresses it,” he said. Instead, the owner needs to build a relationship of respect with the dog which helps create clear boundaries.
“Breed standards give you a general idea but all dogs are individuals,” he added. Behavior is as much a reflection of the owner as it is of the dog. “Sleeping in bed with your dog is the worst thing you can do to your dog for behavioral issues.”
Lol, that's an aggressively grabby hand in the foreground. "Gimmee puppy!"
He should most definitely be proud! He is a very handsome and polite looking boi! 🖤💚 (Went back to change the colour of my hearts so they'd match Spike!)
I have a German Shepard rott weiler. Her name is Hazel, maybe I’ll post a pic of her one day.
Load More Replies...I'm the opposite. I have ocd and my two dogs and my cats are all black and white 🤣
The black one looks sort of blue and now I’m having flashbacks to blues clues
The old cliché of not being able to ‘teach an old dog new tricks’ may actually be entirely inaccurate. In fact, Damon McCook believes that it is entirely wrong. “That saying is ridiculous. Last year I trained 10,11,13, and 14 year old dogs.” Dogs are famously intelligent animals and age is not a barrier when it comes to ‘new tricks.’
He looks so much more vibrant now. His posture in the first pic looks painful. Glad he’s doing better.
I have someone who looks at me like that, do you? My person is my amazing gf!
Load More Replies...I was actually just wondering about these expressions while petting our dog. A brief search does suggest it's exactly the kind of happiness we read it as - releasing copious amounts of oxytocin.
The thing is, I won’t. Only my dog looks at me like th- OOOH.
I would, but my life isn't in good order to be a dog parent right now. Not that I'm not tempted.. damn you and these sweet pictures!
Obviously I don't know your situation, but you can do a lot of good and get some good doggo time volunteering at a local shelter or similar, and then if you have an off week, it's still okay.
Load More Replies...How could you resist that sweet little fact and those deep, soulful eyes?
I worked in an office that allowed dogs. Don't miss the job, but definitely the doggo environment!
Aww that's amazing. We don't get to bring ours in but we get twice a week doggie visits
A Bone-Us, you could say! Wait, no, that sounds naughty. Never mind.
While the commonly held belief is that we domesticated dogs, there is some evidence that our relationship is more mutual. For example, wolf and dog social structures are closer to ours than those of chimps or apes. Early human hunter-gatherers were possibly more territorial than our ape relatives, something may have learned from dogs. Think about how human-like your fuzzy friends' facial expressions might be. Some dogs have awfully expressive eyebrows, sighs and even mouths.
It reminds me of a friend who looks the same when he laughs. I like that look because I know that's when he's happy.
HOLY SHT ITS SO CUTE IM DYIN! These pics r melting meeee!
My mom had a little stray dog, a lucky mix of countless breeds. A few weeks after mum took her in and gave her forever home, she learned to mimic human smile every time she greeted humans. Lifted corners of mouth and showing teeth, and tail spinning like a helicopter. She was the goofiest dog I ever met.
And what a sweet baby! I also give a thumbs way up to the adorable 4 year old for sharing their toy! 👍
Load More Replies...The first hard evidence of human and dog relations that more resembled a family are from around 14’000AD. Two human skeletons and the mandible of a dog were found, buried in Germany. Researchers discovered that the dog had died young, from Canine distemper and that someone, presumably the pair of buried humans, had been attempting to keep it alive. While sad, it's heartwarming to think about the fact that our ancestors already saw dogs not just as hunting tools, but companions.
I've gotta get that for my pitbull that I swear is 98% baby bunny. Everyone acts like he's going to maul them to death just by looking at them. His tail is pretty dangerous when he gets it going so fast his hindquarters touch his shoulders, though, my big ol' wiggle butt! Mommy loves you Dallas!😘🥰
I always warn people of the dangerous happy tail.
Load More Replies...Pitbulls tend to be sweet angels - it's the neighbor who needs that muzzle.
How can anyone call a bully scary look at him he's a big ok marshmallow! I adore bullys I had one for 18 years and what a man he was miss you every day Ruff
If your dog is not actually scary, tell your neighbor to use a muzzle themselves!! If your dog is aggressive, that is a GREAT muzzle!
Another brachycephalic dog breed. THESE ARE NOT CUTE. BREEDING THESE DOGS IS CRUEL. STOP SUPPORTING BREEDERS WITH BRACHYCEPHALIC DOG BREEDS
They are cute, but do not deserve the major health issues we created.
No, the potato chip wouldn't even make it to the floor!

There’s no way this baby would not jump up and be excited by burglars. People!
My dog barks at everything. She’s such a good girl. A protective little guard dog. I’ll post a pic of her someday.
Babysat my mom's chocolate lab the past two weeks. She's almost two. I can guarantee that she would welcome burglars with happy faces. I dropped a plastic milk cap off the counter and she was there before it hit the ground. Getting it back wasn't easy.
I got my dog Tucker not long after I had to quit work for disability. I'd worked midnight shift, so we were often up at night. One night, we were watching TV about 2am, and Tucker started growling and barking like a mad thing. Someone was lurking outside. Tucker had never met any living thing he didn't love immediately, so I knew something was wrong. I called the police. The funny thing was, when the police arrived, Tucker didn't growl or bark. Somehow he knew the difference between the unwanted burglar and the expected cops.
I used to have a very good dog that acted that way towards one person in particular (a very polite & friendly neighbor) It turned out he was a sex offender. Somehow dogs can sense these things. I’ve always wondered how she knew!

It'll be heaven help the burglars who dare to break into my house armed with chicken!
My one dog did this with the net curtains, it looked like she was wearing a wedding veil. I miss that dog.
Mine too!!! And she would walk real slow so that the curtain sort of tickled her back lol silly girl.... I miss her too.

The only "cold" audience I'd ever want to perform in front of :'D
Load More Replies...I was in the audience for a local performance of Oklahoma! and there was a group of visually challenged folks with their guide dogs. They made an announcement during intermission, asking for volunteers to take the dogs to go potty!
My hand would immediately be up in the air. I'd offer to take at least 3 dogs!

Some zoos are using retrievers to help with cheetahs and other big cats. They form a very strong attachment and are wonderful emotional support partners and playmates.
I love this. I only wonder how the cheetahs handle the pup's passing... as cheetahs in captivity have longer life expectancies than large-breed dogs like this Lab :(
Load More Replies...I love this. Cheetahs are known to be notoriously nervous animals so many zoos and wildlife preserves have taken to raising abandoned cheetah cubs with a canine companion: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/151007-cheetahs-dogs-animals-science-zoos
Fun fact. Cheetahs are often paired with dogs because Cheetahs lack socialization skills and often have anxiety. They get their own emotional support dogs!
My 15 year old dachshund (Bruno) has a stuffed fox, my 9 year old pitbull (Dallas) has a sea turtle, and my 2year old Norwegian Forest cat (Maverick) has an elephant. They all sleep, cuddle, and play fetch (yes, my cat LOVES fetching!) with their babies. They don't bother each other's toys, either. They all picked their own out of years worth of stuffed toys around my house. I can buy squeaky stuffed toys or crinkly ones, no dice. I've sewed the dogs toys several times and even had to restuff them at times. The cats elephant has had the ears reattached once or twice. The things we do for our pets, huh? Tl;Dr: my pets have odd stuffed toys, too!

My dog will round up our bread, but instead he just eats it. He’s such a disappointment. Nah, I’m just kidding, we love him to bits. 🐶💕 but he does steal food any chance he gets. Him & our 1.5 yr old cat have joined up & now work together to steal & destroy.
Our dog used to gather all the socks. You could set him loose in a room full of dirty clothes and he would find every single sock. We called him the sock dragon because he would put them all in a pile and hoard them like a dragon hoards gold (he never ate or destroyed them). We have stopped giving him free access to socks...
That's what mine does. I gave up on matching socks.
Load More Replies...He looks ashamed in the first pic...like someone reprimanded him.
That is a Rottweiler specific face which roughly means "doggie did good and pleases you, yes fren?"

Ronny looks like he just farted in the elevator and stepped out.
Vehicle searches, narcotic detection, article searches and criminal apprehension. Plus K9 officers can help protect human officers from violent criminals. Police K9s can also work as a deterrent - some criminals might hesitate to escalate a situation if a K9 officer is present. Did you think that the Highway Patrol wouldn't encounter drugs, smuggling, and violent criminals during their "traffic" stops or something?
Load More Replies...Ronny’s trying so hard to look intimidating and failing so hard and it’s adorable.
Some people just cut leg-holes in ikea bags, because the rule doesn't say you have to *carry* your bagged dog. nyc-subway...21833c.jpg
That... is an admirably strong shoulder... Husky dog is... uhm... Husky.

I didn't train my dog for this as he's just a puppy still (we're learning a lot), but he manages to see when I'm crying or having a panic attack and instinctively sits on my chest. Such a good boy!
I laughed so hard my coffee dribbled out of my nose when I saw this doggie!

My dog is the new dog ambassador... the daycare he goes to will always pair up new pups with him cause despite being 75 lbs he's a total marshmallow
What a distinguished gentleman, yes yes look at the way he is sitting, how very distinguished.
I had that problem with my husband. He had never had a dog before, and thought our dog was too skinny. I lost count of the number of times I tried to explain she was an idea weight for her height/breed. It wasn't until the vet commented that we could at last start trimming down our big chonk.
Remember kids, just because they want it doesn't mean they should get it.
That took more than a few days. Sorry, but it's not cute. It's not funny. Be a good owner. Fix this.
Haha love it! And now I want to rewatch it all, thanks xD
Load More Replies...I'd frame them both and hang the pictures next to each other! Pretty doggie!
My dog always stepped on my foot when I let her in after going potty. As she got older I realized how much I'd miss it when she was gone. I inked up her paw, got a print and then had it tattooed on my foot. First thing my father said when he saw it was that it looked like a little bear. :) Since then they have both passed and the tat is a nicer reminder of them both.
One of the lidos near me allows dogs in on the last day of the season. The water is drained and the pool properly cleaned afterwards but the dogs get to enjoy themselves first.
Best pool party ever, but I feel bad for whoever has to clean the filter later
Ain't no party like a pool dog party cuz the pool dog party don't stop!
I mean letting ur do swim in ur pool is the same as 1000 homeless people swimming in it I heard..soooo..
That's probably the gullible owner charge. I was charged for the same. Twice, in one dog.

Guess OP has never been kissed a guy who thinks swallowing your face is kissing. Yeah, the human version of this picture exists. They usually only get one date/one goodnight kiss before being ghosted.
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss! Now I'm falling asleep and she's calling a cab...
I've never had a dog like this until my newest - he swallows his own feet, his parents' hands, you name it if it's part of us. Hilarious but weird lol
Marc vs KHONSHU tug a waring for control of the body. Vs Steven just trying to get a decent night’s sleep and care for his goldfish. Jake Lokcley the big Doberman watching them from afar.
This reminds me of gifts from family, even though I'm already big for them (height, weight, age), but I still like it and I want the giver to be happy too.
My family's late golden, Kyng (old spelling of King, his full name was Kyng Arthur de la Britannia, King Arthur of the Brits) would do this all the time, even though he had a big bed... our westie and westie-lhasa would take the big bed when he did!
He will never give you up, never gonna let you down, Never gonna run around and desert you, Never gonna make you cry, Never gonna say goodbye, Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you!
Load More Replies...Mine will start trotting around the three floors of the big old house where my apartment is. I chase him up and down stairs, and if someone happens to leave their door open, he'll just let himself in to visit. Luckily, he's very popular with my neighbors.
My Goodboi won't do it. He's afraid of thresholds and hallways for some reason. It's a struggle to get him through a doorway 😅
My MIL got one of our dogs a Pennywise costume too, lolol. It was one of those halfsies where the front holds the balloon.

pro tip I learned from watching Animal Cops… just make kissy noises and say “hey baby! hey sweetie!” in a high voice. it calms most good boys immediately
An excited dog is one I still jump out of the path of. Definitely going to get hurt with an excited dog.
I have a black lab who is a very sweet doggy and would never hurt anyone, but he smiles with his mouth open and his teeth showing when he's excited to see you and people get scared. It always makes me sad because he looks so disappointed when people don't want to get near him.
Perhaps I need to do this for my roosters. Quietude til they hear me on the phone!
Lol. My Westie won't eat without someone nearby. I just put her bowl by the table so she'll eat her meals when we do.
My puppy is the same! He is disabled (he had distemper when he was younger) and we hand-fed him during the worst of his illness, when we thought he would die. Now he still prefers to be hand-fed, and will only (begrudgingly) eat on his own if someone stands next to him XD

My dog sleep. My get up. My dog walk in circle on her bed. My dog lay down in different potion. My dog sleep. Repeat.
Does the dog know a secret, or does he feel threatened that he is no longer the only guy in the house?
i thinik its that theres kind of a joke where if ur going to hook up the girl is trying to make the guy feel special and different by being the 1st guy she brought home and the dog is like what about me or maybe the dog knows she's lying?
