There are days when it feels like the world has turned its back on you. Whether it's Monday blues blasting on autoplay every day, or things falling out of your hands so that it seems like gravity has taken its hold on you, everyone needs a little cheering up now and then.
Luckily, there’s one antidote to it all, and it should be prescribed by doctors if it isn’t yet. Cuteness overload is a phenomenon caused by cute little animals who make the coldest hearts melt and bring an overall sense of happiness.
If you’re not an owner to a pup like that, don’t worry, there’s a whole corner of Reddit devoted to “cute little animols such as puppers, cates and turtols.” Created back in 2015, the "Rare Puppers" community is home to a whopping 4M “shoobscribers,” making it Reddit’s powerhouse of content.
This post is dedicated to puppers exclusively, so we selected some of the cutest, funniest and most heartwarming pics for you to enjoy.

My Friend Is Fighting Leukemia And Has Been Stuck In The Hospital. This Is His Dogtor, Loki
Upvoting Dogtor Loki because it´s amazing what he does. Wishing your friend a speedy recovery!
“No matter how old your dog is, he always stays a little puppy for you,” Daryna Kalnichenko, the pet behavior expert at Petcube Online Vet told Bored Panda in an interview. “Still, raising puppies is night and day from raising grown-up dogs,” she added.
First off, raising a pup requires a lot of time, energy, and attention. “It’s literally four-legged infants. The biggest difference is probably not having constant supervision. Puppies lack training, attention span, and mental capacity compared to adult dogs.”

Scritches For The Goodest Boi
Daryna said that that’s why you need to constantly check to make sure if a puppy peed in the corner, chewed your new shoes, or got stuck in the furniture. “On the other hand, when you have a grown-up dog who has its own characteristics and behavior, it’s sometimes hard to change it,” the pet behavior expert added.

Before becoming a puppy owner you should remember that the first months of life with a pup are time-consuming. Daryna argues that you have to start from scratch and do potty training, establish their routine, and work on separation anxiety and overall training.
“Another challenge is healthcare,” she said. Daryna’s advice is “to ask around to find a local vet and ER. Another great option is a 24/7 online vet — an on-demand team of licensed veterinarians ready to answer newbie questions. Don’t forget to vaccinate, deworm, do parasite control, desex and microchip a new pooch.”

Moreover, little puppies often get into trouble when they explore a whole new world around them. “Starting with falling over the stairs and ending up eating their own shits. It’s a good idea to have an emergency fund to cover unexpected veterinary expenses,” Daryna explained.
His Name Is Woodrow. He’s 14 And Very Ill, Wednesday Is His Last Day, But He’ll Always Be A Good Doggo. He Loves To Sit By The Fire And On The Couch
Oh, no. It always breaks my heart when a loyal friend has to leave us. It looks like he has had a good life. My heart goes out to you and your family. Woodrow, you will always shine like the brightest star.

The Best Of The Boys
Meanwhile, each breed has different maintenance requirements. Daryna reminds future puppy owners that it’s a must to learn as much as possible about the particular breed you like. “Make sure it fits your lifestyle, then you won’t consider bringing a new family member ‘a huge mistake,’” she said.
“Large breed dogs like Bernese or Saint Bernard need special puppy food for healthy bones and joints. Pugs, Poms, and Chihuahuas need watching for signs of low blood sugar.”
Also, some breeds require extra care about their coat. “Poodles and Havanese have to get used to brushing from an early age,” Daryna explained.

Meanwhile, a dog is considered to be a grown-up when it’s between one or two years. “Your pooch starts to be more relaxed and gets used to living in a family, and overall everything just calms down. You just know it when the dog is mature. It starts listening to you, behaving well with other dogs, and responding to the training,” Daryna explained.

“Usually, dogs stop pooling the leash, trying to eat the trash, or jumping on people. With a grown-up dog, you can finally get enough sleep and even leave them for 4-6 hours alone at home,” the pet behavior expert at Petcube Online Vet concluded.

My Pup, 2 Years Apart
This Guy Is Almost 10 Years Old. His Back Legs Are Going, His Beard Is Grey And His Walks Are At Least 70% Slower Than They Once Were. But Minutes After This Photo He Rolled In Fox Poop. Some Things Never Change. 10/10 Still The Best Boy
I rescued a terrier mix off the street during a heatwave about 10 years ago. Scruffy was somewhere around 5 years old at the time, and had obviously been neglected for a while. Fast forward 10 years, and our old man Scruffy has slowed down a lot, his blond fur is mostly white, he has trouble with stairs, and we suspect is also suffering from Canine Cognitive Disorder (doggy dementia). But produce a dog cookie from the cabinet, and you will see the clock turn back 10 years, and a healthy young dog get excited about treat time!
He was lucky to be found by you. What an amazing decade for both of you!
Load More Replies...Dexter (his actual name) seems to be saying "Because I can"....
This was posted originally four years ago in reddit. Dexter is the name of this beautiful creature (I´m using the present tense because I want to believe he is still around.)
Load More Replies...Fox poop, roo poo, duck droppings - the older the dog, the more they like to roll in it! He's a lovely old man.
I swear these guys consider poop and dead things as hair conditioner!

Guys, Please Keep Your Bulldogs At Room Temperature
So Cute
I really don't understand the no-dog-policy in many offices. I worked in an office with a dog once and it was always a nice short, energizing break for everyone. Animals are so awesome for stress-relief and taking your mind off work for a few moments. But nah, mainly no dogs at work. (It would be different and totally understandable if someone was allergic or phobic, though.) Anyways, I am working on an office dog in my (home-)office ;) currently I only have four office-guniea-pigs.

Reading about Woodrow, made me cry and think about my Heidi Beautiful who passed this past in my arms this past April DSCN0139-6...973e6c.jpg

My heart is overflowing with love! Thank you for this perfect post
Dogs make our hearts swell. Unconditional love comes in cute furry packages that wiggle.
I will never get enough of stuff like this. My heart goes out to the ones that shared those pictures of the ones they were about to lose. It felt like it was happening to me.
