With the world’s current state of lockdown, things can feel a little uncertain and unnerving. There’s the fear of yourself or your loved ones becoming ill, along with the loneliness of being self-isolated and the worry of a second wave cropping up. So what better way to cheer ourselves up than with animals just being their hilarious selves?

The dog in our next story just so happens to reflect our lockdown mood perfectly, as the sweet rescue pup was born with a permanently worried expression. Just one look at his serious little face is enough to bring a smile to our own, and we can guarantee you that by the end of this article you’ll have forgotten about all of your worries!

Part Pekingese, Dachshund, and Chihuahua, Old Man Bacon is a senior rescue dog with the white beard to show. Known in short as @thebaconator, this adorable pup has an Instagram account that follows the daily life of what it’s like to be a pooch with a permanently worried expression.

Despite looking as if he’s got the weight of the world on his shoulders, save your sympathy – because deep down, Old Man Bacon is one of the happiest old guys you’ll meet. He was rescued a year and a half ago by a family in Florida and is now truly living his best life, even if his face doesn’t show it. Let’s have a look at some of his greatest Instagram pictures to date.

When you’re out and you suddenly realize that you left your hair straighteners on.

We’ve all had that moment – when you’re three drinks in at the bar, and you suddenly get that horrible lurching feeling in the pit of your stomach that says you’ve forgotten something. You’ll then spend the next couple of hours wondering if you’re going to have a house left to come back to.

“Yes Karen, I’d love to hear about why you think this diet is going to be any more successful than the last two.”

When you’ve hit snooze four times already and your alarm just won’t leave you alone.

Why do alarm clocks exist? Why do mornings exist? Your bed has never felt so comfy when you have to get up out of it.

You were trying to stay strong, but as a person that can’t say “no,” you’ve ended up leaving town with a bottle of knockoff perfume and a subscription to a car cleaning service (you don’t have a car).

When someone is telling a story and you know they’re lying.

“Yes, it sounds perfectly legitimate that you fought off four fully grown men all by yourself.”

And finally, a meme that’s already ready-made for us.
