We’re only 5 months into 2020, and it’s already enough. But when it feels that there’s too much to process and your brain, aka hard disk, is about to go into overdrive, we got something to cheer u up. Because if there’s anything that can save the world, it must be dogs.

Bored Panda has compiled a much-needed list of our favorite little creatures, from hilarious bamboozlers to shamelessly funny doggos. The truth is, dog logic in action is so absurd it’s priceless. So scroll down, upvote your faves, and share with friends who need a boost of fun. You may wanna save the link for later too, 'cause rumor has it that dog pics are a bandage for the soul.

We also spoke to Kimberly Freeman, the founder of City Dog Expert and a professional dog trainer, about things we can learn from our four-legged friends to get through these hard times. Scroll down for the full interview below.

Kimberly Freeman said that the coronavirus pandemic has been rough for many of us, but we can learn from our dogs how to live in the moment and to be excited about the small things.

The professional dog trainer suggested “To look out of the window and admire the beauty around us (or the neighbor's cat). To be excited when the postman delivers something new (especially a new purchase). To relax and be content with our own company and the company of those around us.”

Most importantly, we can see how dogs let go and do not hold anger or resentment. Our four-legged friends teach us “to forgive when you truly are sorry (just like that time you accidentally stood on your pup’s tail).”

Full little bellies. I would need to blow raspberries on each and every baby tummy.

The "Mother" doesn't really look like she is actually suckling the pups, her nipples are much too small. Very likely a staged - albeit very cute - photo.

I agree - they're not this dog's pups. Looks like the pups are actually pugs. I think it's just a coincidence that they've all chosen to sleep like this. I have a similar one of my two dogs belly-up and snoozing in the garden.

No breeding of dogs and cats when millions are unwanted and being euthanised in pounds and shelters.

She definitely isn't lactating but she's also not the same breed - the little ones are pugs.

Meanings evolved and it used to mean foolish - it now seems to be applied when it's only a cute animal doing something that is mildly foolish looking.

I just realized that the b***h is not their mom, that the puppies are not that young, and that they are of a different breed. It is still a great arrangement!

Ah, but here's a tip for something a lot of people have missed - she's not feeding these pups... aka pugs!

Yes - it was a joke. Based on doing the same thing. These are clearly not related as the mum is not a pug. Look more closely at the pups - they are pugs.

Except those puppies look old enough to be weaned - pugs are a much smaller breed than the 'mother' who isn't even lactating.

Nobody is saying here that this is a MUM, all it is about is little pups learning the same behaviour of an adult dog! Our cat learnt to "sit" for treats watching a dog! Just have fun people and enjoy elf's their than trying to find what's wrong everywhere!

Actually a lot of people here think that this is a mum and pups. Read the comments. I don't think it was the intention of the person behind the photograph for people to get that impression. I do agree that the pugs have learned their sleeping positions from the older dog though and that animals do. Seen it many times.

Kimberly believes that “as a pet owner in charge of another living being, we also learn to let go and go with the flow a lot more.” The pro dog trainer doesn’t say it’s always easy, though. “Shit happens (literally) and no matter how well-behaved our dogs are, we cannot control every element of their actions.”

But remember that “sometimes the most surprising things our dogs do bring us the most unexpected joy.” Kimberly gave an example of “non-dog owners having no idea how hysterical a dog snore or a snaggle tooth can be.”

At the end of the day, having a furry companion next to you could bring some peacefulness to your life. “It’s scientifically proven that dogs relax us and bring down blood pressure and elevated stress rates of those they are around,” Kimberly told us.

Meaning, of course, you will instantly feel the need to attack that puppy and smother it with kisses.
