50 “Professional Dog Ratings” That Got The Best Of The Best Puppers Featured On This X Page (New Pics)
It’s probably impossible to measure the cuteness, loyalty, and sweetness of our furball companions. They’ve brightened our days, eased our loneliness, and showered us with unconditional love more times than we can count. But if we had to ‘evaluate’ everything they do for us, they would certainly exceed the perfect 10.
The online project “We Rate Dogs” definitely agrees with this, awarding every picture of doggos with a score beyond ten. As an extra treat, its creator, Matt Nelson, adds witty captions that leave fans uncontrollably awing and snickering. Scroll down for some pawsitive fun, and feel free to leave your own ratings below!

I am blinded by this light, all the way in Australia

WE RATE DOGS! WE RATE DOGS! WE RATE DOGS! WE RATE DOGS! WE RATE DOGS! WE RATE DOGS!
OK, here I am doing that embarrassing cooing sound again. It is so embarrassing. But it is so CUTE!
This would be my son’s kind of dog, because he likes dinosaurs too 🦖☺️♥️
My Miniature Pinscher would agree. He has his own easily-accessible water bowl right on the floor, but he drinks out of his big 95lb yellow Lab brother’s elevated bowl instead. He balances on his back legs to get a drink with his front legs bent in front of him instead of supporting himself on the edge of the bowl, making him look like a tiny T-rex 🤣
“We Rate Dogs” creator Matt Nelson made his debut on X in 2014 as a way to practice his comedy. The 27-year-old quickly realized that when he showed off his golden retriever or inserted her in a joke, the post would do very well.
“They were pretty universally loved,” he said to The Daily Beast. “I was like, ‘Oh, amazing. I think the internet loves dogs just as much as I do.’”
Par for the course. Two ladies in my town rescue senior staffies, they were told Bruno would have three to six months. Three years later, Bruno was still grinning and wiggling his way round the lake.
I am always speechless when I see a gorgeous little ball of fluff like this. Then I start with those embarrassing squealing, cooing sounds that humiliate me. I hate it, yet I do it. Every. Single. Time.
I had an online meeting yesterday with my pension advisor and he was all professional and then shot his hand out to the side to push a little muzzle gently away from the screen. He apologised and said "Sorry, that's my beagle" and I squealed and said "Oh, pleeeeeease show me! I love beagles!" Completely forgot I was trying to come across all professional. And he showed me and we talked about those crazy dogs for a bit and then went back to inflation and dynamic saving plans.
Load More Replies...He decided to take this further and created the “We Rate Dogs” account, where he rates pooches of all shapes and sizes, with the grade always exceeding the limit. The account quickly picked up pace and already has a following of more than 9.1 million, with their ten-year anniversary coming next year!
“It was the perfect storm of what Twitter needed. There were funny animal accounts [at the time], but no one was putting effort into the captions of those photos,” Nelson said.
He didn't die for your sins, he lives in your bins.
Load More Replies...He’s probably thinking, “Oh good Lord! I better hang on for dear life, or else my dear short life is going to end sooner rather than later!” 😧😧
Why do I feel like Jason Momoa and the Sighted Twins should be behind him?
His initial idea for this account was to walk around and capture photos of dogs, then add a rating and witty caption along with them. But a happy accident happened when Nelson forgot to turn off their personal messages, and people started sending their furballs, asking to score them. “I was like, ‘This is so much better because it's a never-ending content stream,’” he shared with The Daily Beast.
Am adding more to the stash: ALL my digits, plus those that belong to friends, neighbors, family, acquaintances, random kind-looking strangers...
Load More Replies...I will sacrifice myself, for the greater good. The rest of you can go over there and watch.
Absolutely. I am curled up with one right now. Much floof!
Load More Replies...We don't talk about that just admire the cuteness.
Load More Replies...Having amassed such a following, he decided to put it to good use. When dog owners started sending GoFundMe medical bills for their pets, he thought it was a great opportunity to test his audience.
Can’t believe that it has been almost 30 years since I’ve seen the Leaning Tower of Pisa. She’s doing a good job from keeping it from falling😀👍♥️
Ah, my Barney would like to sign up and march with you. Barney respectfully would like you to consider loud cars too.
I'll march too! Big loud noises are not good for my health, either.
Load More Replies...THERE IS GOOD REASON FOR THIS!!!!! Fireworks can be traumatic for those with PTSD, is harmful to the enviroment, causes light pollution and is very dangerous for those who aren't trained. Please spread the word, fireworks can be so harmful and we oftne overlook the side affects because its such a pretty tradition.
Upvoting for all the dogs' names here. And double upvote from my furry companion if we took on big Thunder as well.
Careful before women were allowed to vote. They caused the prohibition.... literally. So do we really want our doggos to have control of anything. I mean they'll stop all kinds of sh#t with a smile
“We had featured this family of dogs that was three pugs and a yellow Lab and they always dressed up for the holidays,” he explained. “And one of the pugs needed a mobility wheelchair due to generic senior things.” So he posted their call for help on “We Rate Dogs," and in 45 minutes, the wheelchair was fully funded. The audience was thrilled to be able to help out.
I never found her ugly. She's one of the cutest puppers I have laid my eyes on.
is it just or does the spot on his fur look like a white dancing banana
He brings his own banana for scale. Always prepared
Load More Replies...My pitty sits like this and it's super cute. Just a caution though, she has hip dysplasia, we were told this was a sign.
He looks like he's done something a little bit naughty and he's waiting to see if he's going to get the blame!
Again, my life choices... Now that I got it, what do I do with it??
With the help of his followers, in 2020, Nelson’s online project raised $1.3 million. However, he got so overwhelmed with the large number of GoFundMe messages that he couldn’t keep track of each one. To better their fundraising efforts, Nelson and his team created a non-profit foundation called 15/10 in 2021. They focus on helping dogs in shelters, making their chances of survival and finding homes higher. With their established organization, they can now say yes to medical cases more often.
In addition to charitable causes, Nelson was also able to turn his love for making people laugh into a profitable business. With various merchandise drops, he monetized his work. And to grow his business even further, he dropped out of school, which people close to him completely supported.
Awww, Elliott was the name of Pete's dragon in the movie. It's very fitting she has a dragon for a stuffy🥹
“It's a roller coaster of dopamine to post and engage and see the numbers and see how many people we are reaching,” he said. “But to see that support carry over into the foundation and the real world effects… It’s just so rewarding,” Nelson concluded.
I would like a toy that looked like that. Where do you go to get it?
Load More Replies...He's been to the dog groomer and he looks fantastic. He may not know it yet, but he's in for a lot of hugs, kisses, pets, and snugglesl
I did think it was a cat for a second! But she she's rocking that look regardless!
Load More Replies...If that baby is an albino you shouldn't have her out in direct sunlight it is very damaging to their retinas
Awwws!!! Too cutes!!! (and admittedly? I thought it was a lamb at first sight!)
A tortoiseshell dog. AKA Tortie. A variation of brindle.
Load More Replies...probably the only way for him to have his eyes open completely without all his skin falling on his eyes :)
Definitely a marked improvement over some of my past doctors. At least I know he will listen LOL
I was looking for a doctor with a good bedside manner. I think I have found him.
Tell Dexter I'm running a few minutes late but wouldn't miss it for the world 🥰
This looks just like my dog! We even have the same red collar. IMG_2024-6...b-jpeg.jpg
Somewhere there is a very confused dog in a human body. Probably outside of a mysterious Chinese restaurant and right after a fortune was read.
Perhaps somewhere near an eldritch fortune telling machine?
Load More Replies...This puppy has stories to tell. Those eyes have seen everything in this world and that smile says he knows it.
Hehe poms have an amazing ability to tuck their ears far back on their round heads and all that fur helps hide them :)
Load More Replies...THIS NEEDS TO BE HIGHER THIS ADORABLE THE LITTLE FACE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Yes sir, anything you want or wish for shall be provided as soon as I can.
Fine example of why we have but one rule in my house...Never sit in the lumpy blanket! :)
It's what accidently emanates upwards when your in downward dog.
My basset hound's ears were so long that he sometimes tripped over them. Like Lafayette in The Aristocats! 😆🥰
She'll be riding shotgun... underneath the hot sun... feeling like a someone...
Yes! Definitely better than human leaders. Been trying that for a loooooong time and it's just not working.
Load More Replies...Seriously....nobody.... they need some cards and poker chips..... "Dogs playing Poker"... it's a classic masterpiece.
Great she has been given a chance at life .. but I agree .. as long as it is a quality life.
Go on, admit it, you tried to push the Play button. Can't just be me, lol!
He looks like every robber baron caricature in 1890s political cartoons 15/10
I had a doggy that looked like this!! That undercoat is the softest ever, if this pup is any the same as mine.
Unfortunate cropping means we can't see her ears at all! What a rip. The only one that does show her ears is the third one, so here's the full shot. Dog-ear-66...14a77.jpeg
Thanks. I'm glad it's just the picture that was cropped and not her actual ears.
Load More Replies...This is all well and good if all 323 puppies were placed with good homes, but this is troublesome unless all 323 became guide animals. There are so many animals that already need homes.
From a news article about his retirement on YouTube-294 became guide dogs for the vision impaired. The rest learned canine assistance rolls. He obviously had really good genes for it! (best boi genes!)
Load More Replies...It wasn't just one dog he had puppies with. His genes were so good for breeding guide dogs for the blind that he was hired out (like horses on a stud farm) and had puppies with lots of eligible bitches. They are raised with their puppies in people's homes who are specially trained to raise guide dogs. If they pass the aptitude tests, they go on to be assigned to blind or partially sighted people. If they don't pass, they are trained in other canine assistance roles.
Load More Replies...Believe it or not, poodles were once water retrieving dogs. The balls of fur left around their ankles and hips helped with keeping arthritis away from their joints. That's how the original "poodle clip" started.
Load More Replies...It's usually a sign that your dog could have worms or needs a**l glands expressed
Load More Replies...I like the photos but it’s the titles that I prefer in "WeRateDogs" :D they are hilarious
WE RATE DOGS! WE RATE DOGS! WE RATE DOGS! WE RATE DOGS! WE RATE DOGS! WE RATE DOGS! WE RATE DOGS! WE RATE DOGS!
I had a tough day at work. This is exactly what I needed at the end of it. Thanks BP!
