3. Oh my gosh, what’s that?
When first looking at this photo, you might think that’s a horse or kangaroo. It’s huge. But upon closer inspection, you’ll see it’s just a boy and his very large dog. This kid has the best protector and friend ever.
Come to find out, this precious pup broke his foot. Unable to walk on it, his owner took charge. For six weeks, this man carried his buddy. Not that’s what we call dedication and trust.
5. Nothing out of the ordinary here
Nope, it’s just a small boy cruising around with his big dog. Fortunately, this little guy has a quiet street where he and his friend can tool around without having a care in the world. This is priceless.
These dogs are having a blast. Kind of makes us jealous. The only question we have…how did they decide who’d be the pilot and who’d be the co-pilot? Let’s hope they’re current on their license to fly.
These two pups didn’t want their humans to have all the fun. So, they joined in to help build a snowman. On the other hand, they might’ve just seen the tennis ball hat and decided it was time to play fetch. We’ll never know.
8. Now that’s a birthday party
What better way to celebrate a birthday than having a bunch of your friends over for some goodies? From the looks of this, they’re having a blast. Hopefully, they didn’t get a sugar high after eating their cake.
Just like humans, dogs miss each other after being apart. Here’s proof. The second these two saw each other, all they wanted to do was hug.
It didn’t take long for these pups to become the best of friends. They spend hours wrestling and playing. And what about that amazing cabin?

You don’t have to be a big dog to nail wearing a tie. This puppy looks so grown up. Well, sort of, okay, not at all. But that’s okay. The look on his face…so adorable.
These chicks are a little confused. They think this big furry thing is their mom. Even with a bunch of them all over her, she doesn’t mind one bit. What a great pup.
Awe…this’ll make even the coldest heart melt. Right now, they’re about the same size. But what’s so cool is the two of them will grow bigger and older together…as pals.
This tiny pup couldn’t hold back a mighty big yawn. Although he’s still young, it won’t be long before he’s romping around and making friends with everyone.
This sweep Maltipoo puppy would much rather be on the field participating in the game. But for now, he’ll settle for cheering on his favorite team from the sidelines. Let’s just hope his cuteness isn’t too much of a distraction.
With tiny kittens in a basket who wouldn’t be? While these gorgeous dogs aren’t quite sure what these wiggly things are, they still think they’re pretty great.
18. Enjoying the easy life
With so much white on this dog’s face, it’s easy to tell he’s getting old. So, his owner decided to make daily walks easier by hauling him around in a Radio Flyer. It doesn’t get much better than this.
We’re so glad someone snapped this photo and shared it online. That gives all of us the chance to see the special bond this little boy has with an entire litter of puppies. That’s the right way to nap.
Who says that only cats can enjoy getting inside of boxes? According to this guy, they’re also great for dogs. Now, he has his own special fort and to get in, you have to know the password.
It’s a good thing this man’s new bride loves his dog because we have a feeling he’s not going anywhere. At their wedding reception, she proved her loyalty with a special dance.

This pup might be young but he’s not scared of anything. That includes going airborne while chasing after a ball.

While we don’t know the back story to this photo, we’re guessing at some point in this man’s life he owned a Corgi. As soon as this sweet pup walked into the restaurant, he had to hug her.
28. The best job in the world
You’d be smiling too if you were asked to pup sit these adorable creatures. What an excellent way to spend a day. Who knows, maybe she ended up taking one home.
For a dog to excel in law enforcement, they need to start training young. In our opinion, this might be just a tad too young. Perhaps this guy just wanted to show off his super adorable buddy and who can blame him?
30. They’re mine…all mine
Talk about showing off, this mama is so proud of her litter she wants the entire world to see her babies. They’re so tiny and too cute for words.
Do you get the feeling this sweet pup is up to something? Yeah, we do, too. Maybe he had a slight accident by the door because his owner couldn’t get up fast enough to open it. Just saying.
This is both funny and sweet. It seems as though this dog really likes cheeseburgers. So, everyone needs to leave her alone so she can chow down in peace.

This dog was thrilled to have someone throw him a birthday party. But as you can tell from the hat, perhaps he went a little overboard. What a goofy boy.

What’s a guy to do when that happens? Nothing. The cool part, this man bought this dog when he was a tiny puppy.
These pups are so fluffy they look a lot like bear cubs. The woman who took this photo said she prefers sending out random shots instead of selfies.
While this woman gives lots of attention to one pup, another sits nearby patiently waiting for his turn. If she has a strong connection to both of them, she may end adopting two dogs.
39. “Where have you been?”
These two adorable dogs were only separated for a few minutes but by their reaction to seeing one another, it could’ve been years. They’re siblings after all so they have a unique bond.
Let’s all hope the person who owns this dog has a big shower or bath tub. Otherwise, they may need to head to the car wash. In the meantime, this guy’s having a blast.
Okay, so this is how you do it. First, wait until the other party isn’t paying attention. Second, cock your head to one side and stick out your tongue. Third, quickly poke your face in front of the camera. Great job.
And if you have a dog, you’ve probably experienced this for yourself. You know, the cute face looking up at you at 5:00 a.m. to see if you’re awake? You can’t get mad.

56. Is it love or is it chocolate?
It’s true this guy was enjoying some chocolate, which prompted the dog to come to him. But we’d rather believe the pup wanted some love. Besides, chocolate isn’t good for canines so a huge will have to do.
With a goofy face like this, what’s not to love. If I had a dog that did this, I’d be laughing all the time. And, she loves having her picture taken.

This pup might’ve lost both his hind legs but that hasn’t stopped him from finding treasures. In his mind, why bring back a stick when you can get this?

Okay, there’s a difference but you have to admit these two do look a lot alike. And as soft and fluffy as this pup is, she could easily pass as a stuffed animal.
Hey, if you have a sidecar and no person to enjoy it, why not take your pups out for a ride? That’s what this guy did. And from what we can tell, they’ve loving every second of it.
Being away from a pet is not only hard on the individual but also the animal. This man served in Afghanistan. And when he returned home, his dog was beside himself. That’s what a reunion should look like.

Okay, so while the chicks aren’t her real babies, don’t tell this dog that. She loves them like her own and takes amazingly good care of them. But you wouldn’t expect anything less from a Labrador.
We’re not sure if the owner had a portrait made of his dog or if he found a dog that matched an existing painting. Either way, they look almost identical. And that smile is awesome.
