A “rain dance” was traditionally done by ancient tribes to help bring rain in arid environments. For Zion, the Australian shepherd, it’s just what he does when it’s about to rain! Look at his umbrella!

When this dog’s mom came home from vacation, he wouldn’t let her go. Dogs know that when the luggage comes out, you might be leaving. My dog used to have panic attacks when we brought out suitcases!

This pup is named Izzie, and she is a cutie. This is her with her favorite toy ever, a teddy bear. Those eyes can wrap you around her finger!

When a shepherding dog doesn’t have a flock to look after, they invent their own! Ripley here found his own flock when cows weren’t available. Rabbits will do just fine.

This pup is deaf! He probably has the piebald gene since he is white. This is him before and after his owner signs “good boy” to him! That is what a happy dog looks like.

We, humans, tend to break down into two groups: morning and night people. Morning people are usually industrious individuals that have a strange ability to immediately get out of bed in the morning. This pup isn’t a morning person.

A good dog groomer can take a fluffy boi and make him an elegant boi. We see the results of such a transformation here! His smile is contagious.

Australian shepherds are great with other animals. This one is named Toby, and he’s hanging out with his friend, a cat! This is an example of a cat actually getting his tongue.

When you are literally the big dog in town, life is good. That smile says all you need to know! Well, that is until the little dogs grow up and are bigger than you.

The little things in life can make a dog happy. This puppy found the BEST stick. Anything special about it? Nope, it’s just awesome.

Ever heard the saying brother from another mother? This might be a bit of a twist on that. What family word rhymes with species? Beats me.

As a kid, growing up with a dog is one of the best things in the world. It’s almost like an extra layer of childhood misadventure gets added and it’s amazing.

This is the recorded trip that ended in this photo:

“My Girlfriend Made Me Go With Her To The Flower Shop. Wasn’t Thrilled Until This Dude Showed Up And Sat In Front Of Me.”

This dog is terrified of growing older. It’s seen what the future holds and isn’t down for it in the slightest. This dog probably predicted 2020.

This dog named Kodak doesn’t look real. I mean if he was in a build a bear shop nobody would bat an eye. He looks fake!

Sometimes our dogs are just cooler than we are. This is a great example of that. You just can’t compete with cool. Real recognize real.

For amateur photographers (anyone with an iPhone), there is a moment when you realize you captured “the moment”. When you do, it’s realized that you will top that photo you just took.

After thousands of years of careful breeding, selective mating, and working towards the best gene pools, we created dogs. This is the final produt. Simply stunning.

Taking pictures of a puppy is hard. Usually, they need to be asleep if you don’t want blurry photos. They are usually too high-strung and crazy. This one’s named Indy.

This pup is waiting at home to be a surprise for the other human in the house. That is a pretty awesome surprise. I’m not crying, are you?

Dogs make amazing foster moms. They are devoted, protecting, and gentle. When a tornado revealed these stray kittens, Abby the Australian Shepherd stepped up to the challenge.

If you had never seen an Australian shepherd before and saw this, you would think you saw a ghost wolf. That’s about as beautiful as it gets, right there! Amazing posture, too!

When this human was trying to take a secret photo of the dog in front of him, he got flashed! With a smile, of course. She timed it perfectly and probably knew what they were doing the whole time.

Getting your first dog is a huge and amazing step. It feels like a leap of faith, but it’s usually worth the effort. Dogs are amazing. This is the first dog for this person, and he named him Bolt!

These siblings are playing one of the oldest games in the book… peek-a-boo. Peek-a-boo seems like a very human game but apparently puppies like to play it too!

Our puppies always grow up WAY too fast. One month they are tiny and the next they are nearly as big as we are! Pictures are the best way to keep the memories.

We don’t know much about Mo, all we know is that he’s little. And cute. And, I would die for him.

This was going to be a cool and cute video… until he ate the flower. I appreciate it a lot more, actually! I think it adds character.

You wouldn’t think much about an Australian Shepherds fur as camo, but this photo shows it may actually have a use beside beauty! HE blends into the rocks like a true hunter.

This was the photo right after this pup tried peanut butter for the first time. It’s safe to say it rocked his world. That is the face of an addict.

This is a majestic photo of Bolt, who we saw earlier. He looks like he could conquer the world. I’m sure he would be happy to just snuggle, though.

Getting into a good sleeping position is incredible. It’s like your body hits Nirvana, and you just sink into that cool, comfy place. If you have a dog with you, it’s even better.

Right before the ball was thrown, this photo was snapped. What a pretty and beautiful girl! My favorire parts are her eyes.

I didn’t know I needed mini-aussies until I saw this photo. Now, it’s all I need. Who knew mini-aussies were even a thing?!

Puppies seem to have a knack for finding the strangest spots to sleep. Like babies, never get toys for a puppy, they will probably be more interested in the wrapping that it came in anyways!

This doggo needs to join the actos guild or something. He has a facial expression for any occasion! Which on is your favorite?

These two pups have the Merle gene, making them look all spattered with color! I think they quite look like marbles. Regardless of how you label them, they are INSANELY cute.

Kangaroos are natives of Australie! Funny enough, Aussie Shepherds aren’t from Australia, but the American West! Shepherders used them for their flocks.

Dogs are incredible athletes, especially Australian Shepherds. They can run all day and still have energy left over for playing at the house. This one seems to have picked up gymnastics as a hobby.

This dog just had the best day. It included three things: a ball, stick, and a belly rub! What dog wouldn’t be happy with that magical combination?

This is the only kind of vets that dogs love to see! This Veterans Day hug is about as cute as it gets, and you can tell that they haven’t seen each other in a long time. Some relationships are never forgotten.

While yoga is technically a “solo” practice, it never hurts to have a friend go along! This dog makes a perfect partner. Smoothies after? You bet.

When you see a dog this cute, you only have two options: you cover your eyes and run away, or you get on your knees and cuddle. There is no in-between.

Aussie shepherds are some of the prettiest dogs out there…usually. They also love to adventure, no matter where it takes them. This poor dog ended up becoming a swamp beast after an adventure.

Even after all these years, her smile hasn’t changed. Even the flowers are the same! She may be bigger now, but she has that same awesome personality.

Puppies find the strangest places to sleep. You can spend money getting them nice beds and cushioned spots, but they don’t care. I mean, look at this. What in the world.

Snow is an Aussie’s kind of aesthetic. It just compliments their eyes and their fur so well. This photo shows that perfectly.

With an Aussie’s long hair, they will def need a bath after most outdoor adventures where they get wet. They LOVE the beach but need a fluff after their sandy trip!

Snow is something that dogs seem to naturally understand. Putting a puppy in their first snow is always a treat to see. They just romp, play, and love to stick their noses into it!

Family photos are always strange. “Hug your sister and don’t look awkward” usually turns out something like this. It makes for one hilarious photo, however!

Curled up in your lap, deep in dream world is where dogs love to be. After a long day of fun and adventures, this is what they love to do, especially if it’s with you!

These cuties are getting a daily “push” in a little green basket. Soon, they’ll grow up and be off on their own, walking and running around the road. Until then, I’m sure this human doesn’t mind the workout.

The classic “bite your lip” pose always seems to make someone look a bit more… alluring. When this dog tried it, it just made her look silly – maybe that was the goal from the beginning!

Dogs don’t do well with surprises. If you jump out and shout “happy birthday” to a dog, they may actually become frozen. Rumor has it this dog has been stuck like this for weeks now.

Puppies have little stumpy legs and can’t always keep up with us big humans. This little one got tired before they finished their walk but thankfully, his mom was happy to carry him the rest of the way home.

Dogs know when they are cute. Using their evil powers, they can usually get whatever they want from us. Treats, head pats, or walks, they have us in the palm of their… paws?

Taking home a puppy from the shelter or breeders is always an exciting day! You finally get to begin a new life with a little fuzzball who you will grow to absolutely adore. They are usually pretty happy, too.

If there is one thing that can be said about dogs, it’s how devoted they are. Even about seemingly random things. Tennis ball got loose? I will literally end my life to chase after it.

This pup is 16-years-old and still knows how to use his cuteness to his advantage. You can’t deny an old, cute man like this! He looks like he makes a great office buddy.

There isn’t a caption for this photo. It’s just a super cute toy Aussie. What better way to end this thing than with the cutest puppy photo ever?
