When it comes to goodest boys and bestest girls, we think that every single doggo deserves a 10 out of 10 for making our lives more cheerful and bringing smiles to our faces. But Matt Nelson, who created the WeRateDogs Twitter page, has a unique way for dog ratings, pairing them with adorable comments, and often scores far above 10. In fact, scores are beside the point—the funny comments are what won Nelson a solid fan base and 8.7 million followers.
Combining humor and passion for canines, WeRateDogs started as a side hustle and is now a part of a successful all-things-doggo brand. It includes a WeRateDogs book, a phone game, and an online clothing store which is said to earn the creator something in the low five figures monthly.
So, let’s get into the funny dog and pupper ratings that have been winning everyone’s hearts since 2015.

OMG I thought it said "Last month she passed away" but thankfully I read it wrong and she passed her therapy dog test instead. Whoever thought it was a good idea to shoot a dog 17 times should burn in Hell
Prejudice against Pitbulls is stupid. My dachshund mix is more likely to bite you then my aunt's pitbull.
I mean MAYBE if they escaped their carrier and got the spooky kind of scared. But still if handled properly it shouldn't be an issue

How she survived such brutality shows her indomitable spirit. May both these dogs know only kindness for the rest of their lives.❤️
My dog’s OK with fireworks—-he’s even gone with me to watch them. It’s my 3 cats who need a lot of TLC while the fireworks show is going on.
im gonna cry now reminds me of my dog who when he heard thunder he would bark all night
Dealing with immeasurable amounts of information is one heck of a task, especially when it comes to social media. We Rate Dogs’s Matt Nelson said in an interview with Esquire that the platform allows people to feel a sense of safety and happiness amidst the online chaos. “If you're in the wrong parts of Twitter, it can easily be described as a cesspool of horrible things. So in that way, you can see my account as an escape,” he explained.
Bless her. Dogs rush in when the rest of us duck and cover. Well done Frida!
Have to agree 👍 the bestest boys. Lovely to see them having fun and just enjoying life
Load More Replies...awww the dogs are so so so cute #cutedogs#fluffydogs
Noooo my aunt had a duck toller named Maverick, he passed away at 14 you were a good boi Maverick I miss you
Since the first dog photo rating post aired in 2015, Nelson’s approach to We Rate Dogs has changed. At first, it was all about making a joke as funny as possible, but now, most of the time, he evaluates social-media analytics, calculates profits, and responds to emails. One may think of the influence the school has had on the young entrepreneur, but Nelson is quite bitter. "The only thing I owe to this school is the boredom that caused me to start the account in the first place," he said to Esquire.
He certainly looks like Jesus in that picture, walking on water and all.
These are the greatest photos ever. Beautiful dog and baby penguin and that pup in training,,,adorable🥰
A local chicken farmer, Swampy Marsh, suggested Maremma guardian dogs could be used to protect the penguins. Swampy had successfully used Maremmas to help protect his free range chickens. In a world-first, Maremma dogs were trained and placed on Middle Island to protect the penguins from foxes during the breeding season. The project has been a huge success using guardian dogs for conservation and raising community support and awareness of the environment.. Middle Island has been closed to the public since 2006 to protect penguin burrows from human trampling which can harm penguins,... http://www.warrnamboolpenguins.com.au/maremma-dogs
You’ve probably noticed that many cute dogs on WeRateDogs Twitter have special needs—some of them have experienced abuse, while others have health conditions.
Bored Panda spoke to Antonio Diaz, K9 Trainer and behavioral specialist, about what it’s like to adopt an animal who needs that extra care. According to Antonio, even if the “special needs” are relative, there are a couple of things to be considered. First, “the vet bills and unforeseen responsibilities” are higher. He explains: “Any person wanting to take on a dog like this should first fully understand the time, dedication and possible financial responsibility that they will acquire. The last thing you want to happen is to have unrealistic expectations and need to rehome the dog.”
I had a Newfie boy. When my cat used to steal his food, he'd just gently pick her up and place her a few meters away 😄
Newfies are the sweetest giants, they're just overgrown puppies <3 <3
We had a lab cross who was the silliest, most loveable dog ever. Only time I ever heard her growl was when the cat would go under her chin and start eating her food. Then there would be a growl that sounded like it emanated from the bowels of hell. The cat ignored it so she would run to me to get rid of the cat and let her have her grub in peace! LOL
I have a newfie puppy, she's awesome. Her big sister a great pyrenees and her other two siblings are German Shepherds.
On the other hand, some very healthy dogs might also need an extra bit of care. “For example, an extremely fearful dog can certainly be considered special needs due to the fact that they need extra care, special handling procedures and behavioral training, all of which require more time, patience and attention to detail.”
In the end, it all comes down to the amount of attention the owner is willing to give their adorable pet. In the end, having a dog at home always requires work. “The idea of loving any silly dog and having them be a part of your family is wonderful. But the reality of the work involved can quickly change things for some people.” Antonio adds that “not everyone is cut out for it and that’s okay.”
Best politician ever. 11/10 would vote him for President... Of the World
He was a happy mayor. Would have been best ruler of the world because how could there be wars? Also had more brains than all the world rulers put together.
I'm sure that even now that he's dead he'd still make a better president than Trump.
When dogs are doing better at taking care of the Earth you know we are hopeless.
Today I read an article where someone said: "If you see people throwing trash out of their car, you know for sure the biggest trash stays in the car."
Load More Replies...There’s a dog in a town near to me that throws or pushes hers/his ball under or over the fence for people to play with them. Just adorable 😍
Load More Replies...I would definitely stop. Riley is not only smart, but very cute and inventive!!
That is a riot! I would not be able to resist his gestures. My heart is melting. Note to owner: Play with the dog a bit more. Please? Who could resist this sweet boy?
Yes he is (Than my dog which I am convinced is a reincarnation of my dad's dog)
Load More Replies...That was fun dad, can we do it again? Make sure they spell my name right!!
Best boi! He's amazing and he knows it. Not bragging, just proud. =)
That happened in my area. It was an amazing story, just amazing. It was this doggo's first outing in a rescue situation This beautiful boy, his handler, and the young man who was volunteering are heroes!
Oh no - his eyes are still blue. He's too young to be taken from his mother.
Its a very serious job so he needs to dress the part
Load More Replies...My dog does this.... except she's a British bulldog and she's broken the dishwasher door. I still love her xx
as hella cute as it looks it always give me the creeps when people dyes their pets , i mean you rarely knows if they were decents owners using some non toxic products , but damn that's a really nice looking colorful fluff
They said 'he got his tail coloured', as opposed to 'I coloured his tail', so I'm assuming a professional did it. I hope so anyway! :-)
Load More Replies...I had to physically restrain my husband from connecting the dots on our Dalmatians when we first brought them home. It's a thing!
Load More Replies...Your caption really made me LOL shake my head and made me smile! "Leaf Pile!"
CAMOFLAGED!!! Some folks think camo is only military wear in shades of green and brown.
If there is anything on earth more adorable than Oatie I don't know what it is.
If anybody knows the contact of dogs who offer this service I need to hire a snuggle for a weekend. Every weekends
There was a follow up post to this where Mochi received his own set of butterfly wings.
Load More Replies...Frenchie pups are so adorable! That's Nature's way of forcing you to bond before they become PUSHY ADULTS! Many Frenchies I have observed. But not owned.
I fostered a Golden who loved to do this. She'd walk around slowly wagging from the rib-cage to the tip of her tail. So pleased and the sock was never soggy.
OH! I know about this alllll to well. We have the BEST Golden Retriever ever and we are always looking for that specific sock or shoe. We laugh everyday with her and she truly is the smartest dog I’ve ever owned. Always showing me where the bunny nests are in the backyard. She wants to adopt every one she finds!
I don't have a dog, but can do a mean doggy paddle. On my way!
Load More Replies..."Hello, work? I can't make it in today as I'll be attending a puppy's pool party. Okbye!"
"I knew that if I whined long enough, mom would give me a sugary treat!"
Awesomely creative costuming! For greeting costumed tykes at the door on Halloween?
I saw one of these protective collars painted like flower petals, but THIS is OMG!
"Okay, Tess. If you put down this block, you could end the entire world as we know it." (sees this dog) "YOLO"
I so want both of these little cuties in my life. Mini Wieners are just the best thing ever!! ❤️
call me dumb but i had no idea one could give blood to a pet blood bank ,i'll check if that can be done around my place
Yes! Most emergency vet clinics also do blood donations. Your dog needs to be a large breed since they have more blood & have some to spare.

You named him after the crazy priest in The DaVinci Code? 8f49577c42...97e8db.jpg
