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.

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.

Print this on a canvas, put it in front of the tv, then take a picture of your doggo looking at the picture of himself looking at a cartoon pup watching a cartoon doggo on the tv

Ugh, this just gives me bad memories. I had a couple of friends, who were of the same family, and they decided one day that since one of the sons had downs, they would get a couple dogs. The doggos were dalmatians, and they decided that they were going to be outside dogs, and never let inside, even when it was hailing. They had a massive yard and a pool, trampoline, and playground, just not much shelter from the elements. These sweet, sweet doggos only lived for a few years. One of them, the girl, always had a scratch on her nose and forehead, and I believe it had been infected and it took part in her early death, but they neglected it and said it was "just a scratch". She died about 2 years after they got her and her brother, and she laid down to take her final rest under a bush. They buried her there. A couple weeks went by, and they see the other dalmatian, the brother, under the same bush where his sister was laid to rest, and they noticed (AFTER A FEW DAYS) that he hadn't moved

from that spot since he first laid down there. They realized he was dead, and the buried him alongside his sister. They did love the dogs, but they just had no clue how to take care of them. They let them drink out of the chlorinated pool, and catch their own food if they could, but they'd set out a cup of dog food (per day) for each of them. It was sad seeing them slowly degrade, but there was nothing we/I could do. Before you decide that you want a companion, PLEASE research their needs beforehand, and see if they're available to you. If not, try looking for an animal that will suit your situation better, so you can guarantee them a better life. And please do not neglect your animals, and if you have an "outside dog", provide them with shelter from different disasters and elements prone to your environment. And please, last but not least, love them and spend time with them. When their time comes, you do not want them to not feel loved and lonely. You wouldn't want to feel that way in

this movie helped destroy this breed. Most are deaf and r******d due to generations of inbreeding at puppy mills.
