Dogs provide comfort, affection, and support. Dogs are essential.

They find pleasure in the most mundane things. They are members of the family, the kind I love to have around. I can never get into trouble with my dogs because they are unpretentious and forgiving. Dogs don't wake up in the morning and think: "What's going to make me angry today?"

Let's try to be the helper and team player, not the egoist. With all the madness in the world, be more dog.

As a pet photographer (when not in lockdown), I meet lots of different dogs and would like to share some of these mood-lifters with you here to brighten your day.

Love it. I get this look from my black lab while working at home. He just doesn't understand that if I am here, why are we not going on a walk?

    Checks on you if you are ready to embrace your inner dog and remember that if you can't solve a problem, pee on it or bury it in the garden.

    Just spaced out and happens to be staring in a general direction. But that's ok, too. We know how that feels.

    Is as utterly befuddled as you are. If panicking would help, she'd panic, but it doesn't.

    Just found out that you are who you are when no-one's watching. And it's shocking. But he's a good boy, he won't tell anyone.

    Is going to be a service dog when she's big. Is there a superlative to being "essential"?

    Is just checking quickly. She's available if immediate interference is necessary. If not, she's off to seize the day by barking for no apparent reason whatsoever.
