50 Times People Encountered Such Wholesome Dogs, They Just Had To Spread The Joy (New Pics)
Whether or not you agree that dogs are man's best friend, I hope we can at least agree that they're an endless source of wholesome and heartwarming moments.
These loyal and loving creatures bring joy not only to their owners but also everyone they pass as well. All it takes is a single enthusiastic tail wag or a quirky head tilt, and we're smiling like fools.
The fact that these precious animals can do that even on the toughest days — when negativity is at the forefront — is tough to beat.
So we at Bored Panda compiled a new list of pictures that capture dogs in all of their glory. Continue scrolling to check them out and when you're done, catch up on the series with our earlier publications here and here.

Wholesome
My little dog is 3.5 yrs old. I have asthma and sinus problems. Both have been pretty well controlled for years, especially asthma. Well, last night my sinus issues caused a very intense coughing fit ( gtoss, drainage, etc), like you cant get a breath at all, totally gasping, and you cough so hard it feels like your ribs are snapping. It's more like a massive coughing spasm or something. That caused asthma to flare up and made coughing even worse. Woke out of dead sleep at 5am with it. It can seem scary if you haven't seen it before.. My dog was with me (we sleep separate because hubby snores). Dog woke up of course, was a little freaked out, left the bedroom. I thought he just wanted to sleep where it was quiet. He actually went and jumped on hubby insistently to wait him up. The dog came back to me and was sticking to me like glue and being very sweet and trying so hard to make me feel better. He never been trained to get my hubby if this happens, because it hasn't happened since before pupper was born. He just did the exact right thing totally on instinct. He is a very good boy, and he got extra treats today!
Who is the goodest boy???? Give him hugs and kisses from Aunt Cara please!!! ❤🥰
Load More Replies...I huge tragedy happened in my family a month after I adopted a pup. I was in deep grief, bed-bound, the sweet boy never left my side. His cuddles pulled me through when I couldn't take interacting with people just yet. It's a cliché but, he saved me more than I saved him 🥺
Nikola knows when I'm having a migraine attack and he doesn't leave my side. He will put his forehead up against mine, gently kiss my chin (where it hurts the least), and often place his front right paw on my chest directly over my heart while staring at me with his huge brown eyes (he's a small white Cockerpoo). And then he will curl up and lay with me until I feel better. He's my best medicine ❤
If I Ever Took A Good Photo It's This One 😍
That is amazing and I hope you had it enlarged to poster size and it is now pride of place on your wall!! Gorgeous!❤️
It's not just us at Bored Panda talking up dogs. The therapeutic value of our relationship with our pets, particularly K9s, is increasingly recognized by scientists too.
Cats can be wonderful as well – but dogs have been domesticated by humans for much longer, and, as even the most devoted cat lover will admit, dogs are far easier to train for companionship.

Sir Patrick Stewart And A One Week Old Puppy ❤️
Anyone with that look on their face while holding a puppy is a good person.
He looks so happy, it warms my heart. Especially after watching TNG, with his face and the lighting more serious most of the time.
Load More Replies...I don't know who I adore more, Patrick Steward or the puppy. I'd totally marry one and adopt the other!
Sir Stewart is quite the advocate for pitbulls. Also, he made sure the dog on his newest show was a pit bull.
It Ain't Much
That dog is so sweet! And he takes his job seriously! What more could you want!
Marion Janner, a mental health campaigner and all-around animal lover, thinks that dogs teach us a whole range of lessons.
"Dogs love us unconditionally," she told The Guardian. "They’re the ultimate in equal opportunities – entirely indifferent to race, gender, star sign, CV, clothes size, or ability to throw cool moves on the dance floor."
"The simplicity and depth of this love is a continuous joy, along with the health benefits of daily walks and the social delights of chats with other dog walkers. They teach kids to be responsible, altruistic, and compassionate and, valuably but sadly, how to cope when someone you love dies."

My heart just melted! That beautiful dog protecting a baby deer is just so precious!
Super Dog For Sure
Former veterinary employee here. Most of the time when an animal hospital has an in-house cat who lives there, that cat is a blood donor and is routinely saving the lives of other cats. I've never worked in a facility that didn't have a donor cat. The first one I worked with was a very handsome orange tabby named Simon and he was a good boy ❤
Yes it is. Canine and feline blood transfusions are a lifesaving treatment in veterinary medicine.

The letters in "dog" can be rearranged to spell "god" - coincidence? Dogs are the only gods, that deserve worship.
Load More Replies...My dog did the same. My 3 day old son was choking on remnant amniotic fluid and my dog woke us up but jumping on our bed. She saved him.
My dog she's a rescue wakes me up when my blood sugar is low, if I don't get up she goes and gets my sister to wake me.
My last dog would go get my mom whenever I was having a bad chemo reaction. Only regret with her was not allowing her on my bed (Mom's rule) until her last few years <3
I just read “with his battering ram head” in one of the captions lol.
One night, my cat jumped on me several times, even using her claws the last time. Two days later, my doctor told me that I have pneumonia on top of my asthma and, without knowing about my cat, decided that I also needed to go to a sleep clinic. Yep: I have sleep apnea too. She probably woke me up when I stopped breathing.
The Baby is already better. She would probably have died if not for the dog.
Load More Replies...On some level, the bond that forms between owner and pet is, it seems, similar to the bond that a mother forms with her baby.
According to academic and psychologist June McNicholas, pets can be a lifeline for socially isolated people. "Pet care and self-care are linked. When you take a dog out for a walk, people talk to you and that may be the only social contact an isolated person has the whole day ... People with disabilities often find that able-bodied people are socially awkward with them [but] if they have a dog it breaks down barriers and allows a more comfortable and natural interaction."

Yeah before my Chihuahua, Chip, passed away we bought a little bag that goes across our body to put him in. It went well for a while until he pooped in it, that grumpy old man. I miss him everyday.
We did this for my 15 year old boy. He couldn't keep up with the younger dogs but loved his walks.
Greyhound Rescue Group Posted This Picture With The Caption "Athletes In Retirement"
I love this so much. The expressions of total relaxation and contentment.
Retired greyhounds are the BEST. They are so intensely lazy, and deservedly so! (No I do not condone dog racing)
greyhounds are a naturally lazy dog, that need only short bits of high intensity exercise a day. Its why the AARP recommends them for seniors
Load More Replies...The fastest couch potatoes around. They love a good freedom gallop but beware they will take over the couch and bed. They don't care if you are on either. Moms greyhound would nap with me in the twin guest bed. I got the edge, he got the rest of the bed.
Greyhounds are amazing. We should not be using them to race. They deserve to be permanently retired from racing as a breed.
Slowly, but thankfully states are banning races, with 42 so far having the ban in effect. I voted on it and it passed in 2018 in Florida.
Load More Replies...Author and researcher Meg Daley Olmert believes that when we call our dog, "our baby" it is because we recognize it on a neural level as such. And this recognition triggers the same maternal bonding brain networks that allow a mother to look at her red, slimy newborn and say, "mine!"

How many of the rest of you are extremely surprised the Chihuahua isn’t trying to bite his face off for even just getting within 100 ft of him
Chihuahuas don't act like that normally. All the ones you see on social media have most likely either been abused or never had their bad behavior corrected, which makes them very aggressive. Chihuahuas can actually be very very sweet, and they like cuddling
Load More Replies...Not my UPS guy. He won't even come to the door because my dog is "scary" .My dog is large and loud AND inside my home, but not at all aggressive. However ups literally honks for me to come to the road if they need a signature. Otherwise they leave it in the driveway 😏

Homeless Man Throws Birthday Party For Dogs
😢 the best of us don’t always get what they deserve. Glad a kind soul is getting help !
People without homes who have pets, take better care of them than themselves.
Look at how well fed those pups look...you can bet he feeds them even when he can't feed himself. He deserves everything!
I love my Rottie, she saved me from a stalker! I take care of her too.
Humans are so beautiful. Take everything away from a person and they’ll still throw a birthday party for a dog 🥲😊 love it!
I Saw One Of The Debreed Pugs That Can Breathe Properly
TIL this is a thing! So happy to know there are ethical breeders correcting the problems created by too many years of inbreeding. Good humans!
This isn't.. this is definitely a mixed breed aka designer dog.. he's bred with the over bred pugs today as the dad and a bigger dog to carry, at least I hope they didn't make a poor pug carry the larger breed pup 😩and don't get me started on Shar peis ..we don't deserve dogs😭😭😭 ( not we as you personally and me but humans 😩)
Load More Replies...Retro pugs are mixed breeds consisting of a purebred pug bred with a Jack Russell terrier so the pug can breathe more easily. This fellow is quite tall though so I’m not sure what he’s been mixed with.
I've seen some mixed with mini-pomeranians, so cute! Some inherited the Pomeranian fur and they're just adorable little fluffballs. The picture is not a retro pug though
Load More Replies...This is the first time I've seen this. It's great to know there are decent people out there. Next step though, stop buying from breeders altogether. There are so many animals in shelters just waiting to be adopted.
I believe there's a chap who's starting to do this with bulldogs too here in the UK
Yep, just found an article. It's from Bored Panda too! https://www.boredpanda.com/french-bulldog-breeder-reingeener-dog-face/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=organic
Load More Replies...Debreed? I have a vague idea, but can anyone provide details of how that works? Also... Awesome! Adorable healthy pug!
The pugs are bred with more healthy breeds and then the healthiest puppies are with others retro pugs (or regular pugs/healthy breeds) to create a rather large gene pool with pugs that are much healthier, but still pugs.
Load More Replies...I agree. It’s a nice looking mixed breed dog (and mixed breeds are superior for many reasons, including better health) but I wouldn’t call it a pug.
Load More Replies...This is a handsome dog. Encephalic dogs, in my opinion, are just ugly. Healthy and properly formed looks so much better!
I Just Found Out That My Neighbors Tell Their Dog I'm Outside When They Want Him To Hurry Up And Get Out The Door. This Is Him Waiting For A Treat From Me.
Why would they lie to him? They probably think it's funny but When you're not there, it must break his heart.
My dog loves our next door neighbor. If he hears he voice outside he is RUNNING to say hi.
The Proudest Mom I've Ever Seen
However, there were important differences too. Dogs caused activity in the fusiform gyrus (involved in facial recognition) and babies in the tegmentum (centers of reward and affiliation). To put it simply, while we love our pets, in a fire we'd try to save the baby first.

Aw, and I completely understand why. What a pretty baby. :)
Load More Replies...Can I See
when kids grow up with their dogs they normally have less problems in socialising and dating as adults because they know what a trusting long lasting relationship with a pair is. these two are super cute!
Well it's actually based on attachment theory to their primary caregiver(s), but yes having quality relationships at very young ages is extremely important and does teach children so many wonderful things. Good parents give their child affection, love, and empathy that the child then shares with their dog/cat/etc best friend. I see it every day with my son and his 'brother' (dog). Their relationship has been so beneficial ❤️
Load More Replies...Do you suppose they ever wonder why we have them do things that probably seem really silly to them?
These creatures can find a way into everyone's heart. When the Centre for Mental Health ran an evaluation on therapy dogs in prisons, the feedback was off the scale. “I don't know what it is, but even when I am running around with [the dog] I just feel better inside, calmer, more peaceful," said one prisoner
Another told the interviewer that "Dogs have a magic effect on you, you can feel their love and that just makes you feel better inside you."

An Elderly Neighbor Of Mine Is Throwing A Birthday Party For His Dog
My Cat Passed Away A Couple Weeks Ago And My Dog Now Sleeps Next To His Bed And Stares At His Tower… Sometimes She Whines While Staring At It… Does She Miss Him? Or Am I Just Crazy? They Were Really Really Close
My cat ripped her hair out for a month after her momma doggo was put down. Yes they miss them a lot.
It's so true :( My German Shepherd and my cat were nearly the same age (a month apart) and I adopted them around the same time, so they grew up together and were absolutely best friends. My GSD died of breast cancer at age 12. My cat was devastated. She was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and kidney failure shortly after. Her conditions responded to treatment and she lived in pretty good health until she was a month shy of her 20th birthday, but she was honestly never the same after her "sister" died.
Load More Replies...My vet told me it's very important for a pet to be able to say goodbye to a beloved human or pet so they can understand that they've passed and not simply left.
I learned the hard way that you should bring home the passed pet so that their friends know what's happened. I lost Riley at 14 and her best friend Squeaky P has never been the same (also became diabetic from no more playing). When TJ died at 18, I brought him home and let Squeaky grieve with me. He handled his loss so much better this time. Squeaky-TJ...d43ef1.jpg
That's so sad and difficult but you're right and it brings them some form of closure. Better than their friend and companion just being gone one day.
Load More Replies...I had the vet come home to me when it was the time for my oldest cat. My other cats were able to sniff her and understand what had happened. So much better than having them searching and miaoing all over the neighbourhood for weeks
We got our second dog after seeing how much the cats were missing our first after she crossed. Yes, she is missing him.
Always bring home the deceased pet with you so the other pets can say goodbye. That last moment is very important, many pets will start looking for their missing friend otherwise.
This is such a heartbreaking subject.. I don't know if I would be able to bring one of our pups home so the other one could see them, after passing... I'm tearing up just thinking about it 🥺
Load More Replies...My dog was depressed after my parents died. It was so heartbreaking seeing him sit on the couch where my mom used to sit just staring out the window. Bith left in ambulances and he watched as they drove away. He barely ate and wasn't active. We got him a brother and it brought our old boy back. That was two years ago and he still occasionally stares out the window but doesn't look as sad anymore

I had the pleasure of meeting actual (tame-ish/hand-raised) wolves once at a wolf rescue in my state. HOLY JEEZ they're huge IRL. I (obviously) love wolves, they're my favorite animal, always have been. But getting to see one, and pet one, and have one "shake paw" with me... wow. They're so big!

Grew up with a husky+wolf hybrid named Kodiak.

The Finnish President And His Dog Lennu
Our president is quite wholesome although he has had enough tragic parts in his life. He and his wife (in the picture) got Lennu the boston terrier, and he was the sweetest boi. They didn’t let him parcitipate in public events anymore after they learned of the health problems this breed has, because they didn’t want to encourage people to get boston terriers, but breeds that are healthier. Lennu died at the age of 9.

When You Tell Her A Story That She Doesn't Understand, But She Loves You Anyway
I was in a class where I had to give a speech, was practicing it and my wife and daughter couldn't stop laughing at me, so I turned around and gave it to our dog (an Irish Setter), who sat still and looked at me the whole time like he was interested in what I was saying.
Best Date Ever
My interests are long walks on the beach, treats, and evenings in relaxing on the couch. 🤗
We had a shih tzu when I was growing up. He was 2 years older than me, and was my constant companion. His name was actually "s**t-zy" but we didn't know that until we were older. We called him Shoot-zy, because of swaering. Before I came along and took up a lot of time, mom kept him groomed with his long hair. But after kids...he was shaved very short and wore a sleeveless jean jacket. He died when I was 14. He was the best.
My dog has a girlfriend and her owner and I take them out on dates sometimes.

A friend of mine adopted an abandoned tiny kitten that his German Shepherd found. For the first few weeks the only time you could pet the kitty was if it was with the dog, otherwise it would run and hide. Little kitty would even try to nurse from the dog. Max was a good boy, and let her do it.
Mom no longer has a feral kitten. She has a pet kitten. And so does her dog.

When One Human’s Upstairs And The Other’s Downstairs
Omg my rottie did that! We had a large square landing tho... and if we were up too late watching TV, he would "woof" under his breath while standing and looking down the steps at us in the living room, like "it's bedtime, silly people!" Then, as he got older, he had trouble making it all the way up to our room, so I had to put his bed on the landing so he could still see the bedroom.... I had to gate it after seeing him start to fall and give up coming down the stairs, then slide on his belly (like a slip and slide). I always made sure he had assistance/supervision going up and down after that started. I miss him! 💔 he was a good boy!
This is a primal act that wild dogs still do and has remained with domesticated dogs. When a member of the pack is going to the bathroom or eating, and doesn't have their full attention on their surroundings, the other dogs will stand near them and keep watch. So the next time you trip over your dog coming out of the bathroom wondering why he always has to lay down right there every time you go in and shut the door, he's doing it to guard the entrance to make sure predators won't attack you.

That looks like a Great Dane <3 my parents had a Dane when I was born. I am told that she was my guardian and protector. I apparently rode her like a pony often, would toddle around the yard while gripping her tail, etc. and she put up with all my shenanigans patiently. My parents told me that one day I escaped the house and went right over to the pool. I stepped into the water on the first step, and Chashu was there in a flash and pulled me out of the water before I could fall in/get in over my head. Danes are the best!
My grandfather had a GSD when we were small. Thunder would let us climb all over him and ride him. He was a very, very good boy.
Load More Replies...We had two Danes growing up. Very patient with children. However, since their heads were counter height, sticks of butter, sandwiches, and once a whole meatloaf disappeared.
My mom's dog was weirdly protective of my niece when my brother brought her over. If anyone he didn't completely trust picked her up he'd start barking and whining (so I was told, he didn't care when I held her). So his "pack" was allowed, but I guess he didn't like my sister in law (the mother) holding the baby too much for a while lol. Now she's walking and just the right hight to be constantly getting kissed by dogs when we visit lol
Same Dog: 2 Months vs. 2 Years
Definitely. High-content wolfdog for certain. Head shape and eyes show it easily.
Load More Replies...Wolfdogs can be amazing pets, but they should only be owned by experienced owners, as they tend to be MUCH more headstrong and stubborn than normal dogs. They can be independent as well. While they usually are not overly aggressive, their larger size, natural strength, and headstrong nature can make them dangerous. Definitely not a hybrid to own in the city, with kids or other small pets, etc.

One day doggie, one day u’ll be taking down thieves all over ur city
Fostered a rescued, abused shepherd pup until his forever home. Loved playing catch, but would not bring the toy back until he did a lap around the yard. Grew to about 41kg -90 pounds. His new home was with a policeman, so doggy became a K-9. First take-down of 'bad' guy... he tried to drag him around the yard for a victory lap.
no one's mentioning how police dogs are at significant risk of being killed in action by both the criminals and their own policemen?

My dog hates the rain but also thinks the weather in the backyard is different from the weather when we walk. She will come in mad from going outside, but then go to the front door and beg for a walk.

I accidentally dud this to my lab once. Gave him his favorite- salmon skin- in his bowl after dinner and didn't say "okay"- his release word. Started cleaning up the kitchen, looked over, and my poor boy had shoestrings of drool almost to the floor but he had not eaten. I felt like an a*s, but I was also so d@mn proud of him!
Mine decided she was being given the ok from daily word choices. We had to figure out the words and tone of voice so she'd start eating

My Brother’s Puppy Protecting Her Sister At The Vet.
Awww love. My boy does this for my girl, too. Absolutely kills me that he puts himself in front of her to take the brunt of whatever the “threat” might be. He never tries to bite or even growl (he’s a gentle soul) so it’s fully him sacrificing himself for his sister. Dogs are so pure.

Barney's First Visit To Bunnings (A Hardware Store In Australia). Dogs Are Allowed To Visit If They Stay In The Trolley
I took my dog, Alfie, to Bunnings. He piddled on one of the plants in the (outdoor, phew) nursery so I haven't been game to take him again. 😒
Ah mother you Will not stop me from peeing in the plants for i am Alfie the beest of reckoning
Load More Replies...There was an Ace Hardware about a mile away when I had Tucker the dog. I used a mobility scooter to walk him, and for shopping. Tucker didn't mind the thing, but he hated riding on it himself. However, he'd happily get on it to go into Ace with me. He got so much attention, both from customers and staff. It was always so cute.
I live in Australia - I didn't know this!!! Jack Rascal will go shopping! “Dogs are allowed if secured, muzzled or carried in a cart.”
Here in the states dogs are allowed at hardware stores Ace and True Value. But they don’t have to be in the cart just on a leash.
Lowes recently changed their policy, it might just be the one closest to us, but Home Depot is 1 minute away. He can also go in TSC, Rural King, Petiti’s Garden Center, Menards and our family business is pet friendly too, hubby keeps healthy dog treats for guests.
Load More Replies...Where I live you can take your dog into any hardware store. I also take mine into other stores, like Walmart and clothing stores. They just have to be on a leash.
You can often take dogs into Bunnings just on their leads these days as long as they are well behaved. At least in the Bunnings near me.
Same in NZ. Dogs are welcome so long as they are on leash and well behaved.

Always check if it's really the thunder and not the lighting. I had to put my last dog in a dark room and block under the door where she'd see the lighting. Turned out she didn't care about hearing thunder.
This Little Guy Welcomed Himself Into My House The Other Day, I Took Him Back Over To The Neighbors. Well, This Morning He Came Back And I Asked If I Could Buy Him And They Just Gave Him To Me Lol. If Anyone Has An Idea Of The Breed Please Let Me Know.
I think it’s an adorable fluff ear. Not sure of the actual breed.
Possibly a shepherd or lab mix (maybe a cross between the two), best bet is to take him to the vet and ask for their analysis (good idea to take him to the vet anyway, for at least a basic checkup and to get him chipped/tattooed just in case)

Meet Lilo, Rescued From The Envigo 4000 Hence The Ear Tattoo. We're Going To Give Her The Wonderful Life She Deserves
For anyone who needs to know - Envigo was a company that bred dogs for research. The faciliy was investigated and 4000 beagles rescued due to being kept in inhumane conditions. The parent company was never fined or prosecuted in exchange for the company being barred from engaging in any work that requires keeping or using animals.
And they were able to keep around 309 dogs in order to sell. I fostered several Envigo dogs, our shelter rescued 40. It was heartbreaking, rewarding work. I am proud to say they were all adopted out.

He basically decided on me so now he's mine forever!"
