Getting a dog has gotta be up there with the most exciting and emotional times in your life. The first touch of a cold and wet nose, that first slobbery lick and over-enthusiastic jump onto your lap, these are things that stay in your memory forever.

Bored Panda asked people to submit their best first dog meeting pics, and we have now compiled an adorable list of times when it was puppy-love at first sight (or first sniff) for doggos and their brand new humans. You can just tell that through the good times and the ruff, they are destined to become best of buddies fur-ever.

I couldn't have another dog for years. No other dog can replace nor Blacky, nor Marta. I was really grieving. This month I will have my third dog in my life. I feel so excited. I miss the love and the warmth of these doggy eyes. And I have so much love to give!
