There’s a good reason they say dogs are man’s best friend. Historians and scientists think we’ve been domesticating dogs somewhere between 18,000 and 32,000 years ago. Back then, they were wild wolves that lived in packs in the forest. Fast forward to today and they’re our closest buddies.
It’s no wonder they’ve earned the title of mans best friend. Dogs are affectionate, loving, brave, and completely loyal. Once they become a part of your pack, so to speak, they’ll never abandon you. They’re happy to go anywhere with you and love being as close to you as possible.
Looking at modern dogs, it’s hard to believe they descended from wolves. Some of them are so tiny they don’t even look like they’re in the same ballpark as other dogs. But we love them all —big and small, shaggy, and short-haired. Whether a lapdog and or watchdog, we can’t help but adore them.
Sure, they might not look like wolves today but they’re so ridiculously cute with their little noses and big ungainly paws. It’s easy to understand why everyone loses their minds over pups. They just can’t help it. Here are 75 puppies that are so cute, they’ll make you ask how it’s even possible.
1. When your fluff makes you look chunky
Does this puppy have a couple of extra pounds or is it all fluff? There’s really no way to tell just by looking. It seems like a belly rub is in order.
2. It’s his first day at the beach
This little cutie is experiencing all the wonderful things about the beach for the first time: the sand, the surf, the sun, and of course, all those interesting smells. Hopefully, he doesn’t get too much sand up his nose.
3. Is this a dog or a bear?
This little pup has a strong resemblance to a polar bear. If he grows up to weigh 900 pounds, you’ll know what he really is. But right now, he’s small enough to hold on your arm.
4. Is there a puppy somewhere in there?
Some puppies are so fluffy you almost can’t see them through all the fur. Just take this adorable Malamute for example. He looks like he’s wearing a puffy winter coat.
5. The perfect place to keep your puppy
Puppies, just like babies, need lots of naps. Luckily, they’re small enough they can still fit in little crevices — or as they like to call them, nap spots.
Not everybody likes bulldogs, but this little guy could definitely charm a few people. With those big ears and bright eyes, he’s just too cute to resist.

This puppy’s resemblance to a certain Batman villain was so strong that a lot of people stopped in their tracks. And yes, in case you were wondering, his name is Joker.

This tiny guy might be breathing his puppy breath in your face, but you can’t possibly get mad. Not when he’s this happy just to see you.
I’m sure this little girl has a cozy dog bed somewhere. But after her lunch, she was so tired she laid down right in her dish. Hopefully, no other dog comes along for a snack.

17. Which aisle are the treats in?
You probably love going to a store that allows dogs — and trust me, your dog loves it too. How could they not enjoy all the sights and smells of the store while getting lots of pets from other animal lovers?
18. I think they’re low on black ink

28. Are these puppies or mashed potatoes?
I see your one fluffy puppy and raise you three fluffy puppies. They have so much hair you can barely see their eyes. But in their opinion, that’s all the more reason to give them a belly rub.

This little puppy hasn’t been around very long, but she’s already mastered the art of alluring eyes. When she hits you with this look, it’s hard to refuse her anything.
