They say that dogs have this unique ability to melt away stress. They can cheer you up in an instant, no matter how awful your day was. They can make you smile and forget about your problems even for awhile. There’s no exact explanation of how dogs can do that. It might be their behavior, the bond they form with their humans or how they look.
No matter what it is, we can all agree on one thing: Just looking at a dog can make you feel happy instantly. And if you get to squeeze and stretch their squishy cheeks, the effects become stronger.
So if you’re having a bad day at home or at work, check out these 50 photos of squishy dog cheeks. You won’t be able to stop smiling after seeing them!
