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.

Hina Is Doing This On Purpose... Just Trying To Cheer You All Up!
My Dog Is 16, So I Figured It’s Time For Some Driving Lessons
This Is Billie. She Never Understood Why I Had A Set Of Keys To Bring In The Car And She Didn't. I Got Her A Set Of Her Own And Now She Insists On Bringing Them Anytime We Go For A Drive!
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).”

That's A Lotta Derps
Full little bellies. I would need to blow raspberries on each and every baby tummy.
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.”

And With The Melting Snow, The Mystery Of The Missing Socks Was Solved
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.

Attack Dog
Meaning, of course, you will instantly feel the need to attack that puppy and smother it with kisses.
What? You're Not Going To Include Me?
Same Same
I named my dog MooCow because he looked like a cow as a puppy, still kinda does lol

Is it one of ours? Helen, are you missing anyone? Bessie? Ginger? Well, he must belong to ONE of us!
Madge, is he mine or yours. I don't know Clara, she's kinda cute though for a small fry.
Nobody: Absolutely nobody: Not a single soul: Pug with a group of cows: I shall blend in~~
Well by golly the spots do match, is there a chance they might be kin?
These are calves, had their cow mothers been there the picture may not have been so cute: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/jun/01/man-82-killed-in-attack-by-herd-of-cows-in-yorkshire-dales
The cows are all wondering, "why is the runt allowed outside the fence and we're not? That's not fair, dang it."
My dad took our black & white pit bull to visit relatives in the country and their neighbors were a dairy farm. Our dog was cool with seeing his first cow, also black & white like him but when more started walking over he decided it was time to leave.
Farm land first - then industrial park built next to it.

Betcha can't read just one! (These photos never stop being excellent - I know BP adds the link now to the full list when they crop, but they probably just shouldn't crop this list at all!)
Great job, Liucija Adomaite!! I had a bad day and yet I laugh/cried several times! I love to be reminded of all the love in the world these days. Thank you
Thank you for this, Bored Panda! So sick of all the sadness & hatred going on. Peace & kindness be with us all (I'm in San Diego, CA - USA)
My 3month old kitten loves bopping our dog on the head it’s adorable
Thank you! This was a much-needed break between anti-police-violence protests - I can't breathe - and the Covid-19 pandemic with so many people treated and dying because they can't breathe.
some of these are wrong (small cage, dog loose in the back of a truck etc) but most of these are so cute and funny
Can't go wrong with dogs. Apolitical, funny and we almost all love them!
When GOD created the world and all of the creatures great and small upon the earth, sea and sky HE had Adam name them, all but one. One animal GOD named for Himself. This animal was born with nothing but love. This animal would be forever by the side of his friend (master) until only death would separate them. And if his human friend died before him he would mourn until his own life would be given up. But then he and his human friend would be forever reunited in Paradise. This animal nay best and loving friend is the DOG. God gave HIS name to the DOG above all of the millions of creatures HE created. HE gave his Holy and Loving name only spelled backwards...DOG

"If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land" (2 Chronicles 7:14). For GOD so loved the animals and one in particular, HE gave to man, that HE blessed it and gave it HIS name to the most loyal of all of HIS creatures (just spelled backwards).

“Lord, we thank you for our dogs — your simple gift to us. Open us to what they teach. We thank you for the grateful exuberance of our dogs. “We thank you for the way they bound across the hills, splash in the waters, chew on sticks, and roll in the dewy grass. Teach us, every day, to say our own ‘thank you’ with every fiber of our being, for the wondrous works of your creation. “We thank you, Lord, for the honest, direct loyalty of our dogs. We thank you for the wag of their tails and the offer of a cuddle for friend and stranger alike, the way they make people . . . into our neighbors, the way they regard not body type, color of hair, or color of skin. We thank you for the easy way they forgive faults — the way they love us, not because we can love back, but because of our need for love. . . . “We thank you Lord for our shepherding dogs who can’t stand to lose track of the wayward lamb.

A DOG'S PRAYER So do not grieve for me, my friend, as I am with my kind... My collar is a rainbow's hue My leash a shooting star My boundaries are the milky way Where I sparkle from afar. There are no pens or kennels here For I am not confined But free to roam God's heavens Among my special kind. I nap the day on a snowy cloud With gentle breezes rocking me I dream the dreams of earthlings And how it used to be. The trees are full of liver treats And tennis balls abound And milk bones line the walking ways Just waiting to be found. There even is a ring set up The grass all lush and green And everyone who gaits around Becomes the "Best Of Breed". For we're all winners in this place We have no faults you see And God passes out the ribbons To each one--even me. At night I sleep in angels' arms Their wings protecting me And moonbeams dance about us As stardust falls on thee. So when your life on earth is spent And you reach heaven's gate Have no fear of loneliness For here, you know I wai
If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die, I want to go where they went". Will Rogers. “Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole” – Roger A. Caras DOG THE CREATION BY GOD! When God had made the earth and sky, The flowers and the trees. He then made all of the animals, The fish, the birds and bees. And when at last He'd finished, Not one was quite the same. He said, "I'll walk this world of mine, And give each one a name." And so He traveled far and wide And everywhere He went, A little creature followed Him Until its strength was spent. When all were named upon the earth And in the sky and sea, The little creature said, "Dear Lord, There's not one left for me." Kindly the Father said to him, "I've left you to the end. I 've turned my own name back to front And called you Dog, my friend." //
Reminds me of the dog from John Carpenter's The Thing. https://youtu.be/tFavShMJqfo
Dogs like them always make me laugh and smile, and also I miss my dog endlessly.
