50 Times People Met Their Dogs For The First Time, And The Looks On Their Faces Will Make Your Day
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.

A Few Weeks Ago My Uncle's Dog Died After 14 Years With Him And He's Been So Depressed About It. My Aunt Surprised Him By Taking Him To Pick Up Their New Puppy When He Thought They Were Just Going Shopping. This Is The First Picture Taken Of Them Together When They Got Back In The Car
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!
I never wait. No dog can replace the dog you lost, but nothing can help ease the pain like a new little life in the house. I've heard people say they don't get another dog for a long time out of respect to the old dog. Nothing could be further from the truth. What better a tribute to the love you lost than to show that what he or she gave you was so essential to your life that you need it...and soon. Getting a new little one won't erase the pain of your loss, but it's hard to sink into the depths of depression when you have a little lover needing your attention and giving you the love you so desperately need.
Load More Replies...We lost our old girl a few years ago; I was so heartbroken. I said 'never again'....I can't take that pain and loss again. But then a friend of mine passed away and her friend that was taking care of the final details needed to re home her dog. I feel so blessed to be able to honor my friend's memory and her dog is such a great add to our little family. He makes me laugh every day. He is 12 so I know we'll be saying goodbye before we want to, but he's such a happy guy he is teaching me to take the good from the situation and enjoy every day as it comes <3
My dad is still getting over losing our Yorkie back in June, but when we move we hope to get another dog. This house is filled with memories of lil O.
I'll be devastated when my dog's time has come, but I will try to carry on and hopefully will be able to give a loving home to another dog or two even. I think my dog knows I could do with the company and wouldn't begrudge me giving another dog some love and care. he's not selfish like that :)
My daughter said never again' after our old dog died however after six months we both realized something was missing so we got Einie! Every dog is different and special. You just can't live without a pet dog!
Beautiful sentiment, but I'm on the side of grieving for awhile before you take on the love of a new pupper. No doggo will ever replace my Harley or Frodo, but after a couple of years my heart and home were ready to welcome Monty, & a year later his wee compatriot Mario.
Nooo... So the dog died naturally? Good because if he/she was having something disease... so sad

That post made me cry. And I'm still crying while writing... I never got the chance to choose my dog, I have two but THEY chose me and I just couldn't say no. I wonder how it feels to decide " I want this dog" but I can't imagine... If I'd listen to me, I'd just keep every dog I see lol (¯―¯٥)
Man, I am so jealous. When I first brought my first dog home he HATED me. He was so distant and aloof and I literally cried for a week because he wanted nothing to do with me. He wouldn't sleep in my bed. He wouldn't be in the same room as me. HATED me. He is still, eight years later, an old man grump BUT he is my grump. 30042_8664...68874f.jpg
The most loyal animal of them all. Those animals called humans can learn a lot from dogs.
there is something adorable about full grown men getting all doe eyed over a surprise puppy.
So cute!!! I´m glad most of the pups on the pics´re rescued/adopted pups, ADOPT DON´T SHOP, and two lives will be much happier....💖💖💖💖 In the USA and other countries that have kill shelters (not a single one in Germany and some other European countries, thank God) you can even save a life!!!
Every picture is amazing! Been a while since I cried so many 'happy tears'! Love!!!

We have 3 "rescues", including a worm-filled 6 week old Aus. cattle dog runt, sold for $50 in a Wal-Mart parking lot. She is now 10 yrs & feisty. No puppy pix - she never stood still.
OMGosh these were just wonderfully awesome! Just couldn't stop looking at them one after the other.

every Wednesday l attend a craft group..this morning one of the ladies mentioned that her husband wanted to get a dog after loosing their Honey not long ago..he was looking at a puppy, but the wife was not interested in something that would mean loads of training and would/could be tripped over as they are both in their 70's..one of the other ladies piped up that she was getting rid of her dog of 4 years cause she wanted a smaller bread..the timing could not have been more perfect..it was the right bread, the right size and the right age for an elderly couple needing a new friend..they are catching up this afternoon to meet and greet each other..it saved one add and god knows who adopting and this way she can still keep visiting rights or photos at least..puppies are cute but mature dogs have gotten past all that stage/work and are better for adopting l think..
