Apart from the size difference, it’s pretty impossible to tell the difference between this proud mama dog and her son. It’s like someone has hit copy and paste! We’re not sure we could handle this amount of cuteness times two.

Being a dog mom is tiring. On top of toilet training their pups, they also have to teach them that the pee mats are not for chewing on. Imagine having to do that with four or five babies when you’ve practically only just given birth!

In comparison to other pups, this Great Dane puppy is probably pretty chunky- but next to her mama she looks teacup sized! Aren’t puppies just the most precious things? We think we may possibly prefer them to human babies.

We simply can’t get over how adorable these identical face markings are on this mama and her puppy. You can tell from the way that they’re snuggled up together that their bond is already something special. One day she’s going to look just like her mom!

There’s something almost human-like about this puppy’s little mouth, and our hearts can’t take it! Judging by the picture, this puppy looks to be only a few days old at the most. How precious!

We don’t think there’s anything quite as adorable as a Golden Retreiver puppy. It’s no wonder this is such a popular breed of dog! We’d have 100 if we could.

This puppy is mastering the art of the boop from a young age, as mom looks proudly on. He’s going to go on to do great things!

We have to say, we’re curious about who the dad is- as the pup in this picture looks nothing like her mom! Do chihuahua puppies just take a while to grow into their features? Someone let us know!

We can’t believe that somebody managed to capture a moment as precious as this on camera, but we’re so glad that they did! The mama is looking at her pup with an expression that says, “I will do my best to love and protect you until it is time for you to leave.” You’ve got this, mama!

We love how the mom’s fur markings have been distributed onto her pups- they look like a set of Dominoes! Hurting your paw is never fun- but add a litter full of puppies to the mix and this mama is having a nightmare! We hope she gets better soon.

Have you ever seen two more photogenic dogs before? These two look as if they’re sitting for a magazine shoot! We definitely wouldn’t look as put-together as this mom if we had a newborn baby on our hands.

Compared to humans, puppies learn how to do everything pretty quickly- from eating, to walking, to toilet training. Here, this black lab mom lends a helping paw towards her tiny pup who already seems to have mastered the whole walking thing. Look at him go!

This little pup’s attitude is clearly “I can do everything exactly like mom!” It’s so sweet how she’s copied her mom’s exact sleeping pose!

We love the way these two are touching heads! She seems like the sweetest mama.

This puppy might only be a few days old, but she’s so stinkin’ cute that she’s already been snapped up! The red ribbon around her neck allows her owners to differentiate her from her siblings. As soon as she’s old enough, she’ll be ready to go to her new owner’s house!

This mom is taking some time to reflect while her puppies sleep, and the expression in her eyes is captivating. We wonder what she’s thinking about?

One of the things we love most about dogs is their big, brown eyes, so despite being last on our list, this picture takes its spot as one of our favorites! You just know that this little pup gets up to heaps of mischief.

Being a mom isn’t always difficult, and this mama took some time to enjoy teaching her puppy how to play with the ball! It looks like he’s still getting the hang of things at the moment.

The combination of those puppy dog eyes with the head tilt has melted our hearts down to a puddle! This puppy is so cute that she almost doesn’t look real. We’re super jealous of whoever got to take her home.

We love the adorably proud expression on this mom’sface. Proud, though tired- and we can’t say we blame her there. She’s got his paws full!

These two love getting mischievous together. They’re double the adorableness and double the trouble!

What a proud- if slightly exhausted looking mamma! Looking after 6 puppies might not be easy work, but when they’re this adorable, we reckon it’s all worth it. We wouldn’t be able to give any of them away!

Those tiny ears and little pink nose have absolutely made our day. And is that a little tongue blep that we can see? We’d do anything for a cuddle with this little guy!

Rottweilers might have the reputation of being tough dogs, but this picture proves that they’re big softies really. Just look at the tender expression on this mamma dog’s face. And how cute are rottie puppies?

These dogs appear to be part pomeranian, part Wookie- and arent they adorable?! We love the dad’s huge grin in this pic. He clearly couldn’t be prouder to have created such an adorable little mini-me.

If you think that animals can’t love their babies in the same way that us humans can, then think again. This photo proves that dog moms have the most love for their babies! What a special moment.

Golden retrievers are some of the happiest looking dogs, and that’s why they’re up there as one of our favorite breeds. We would take all six pups and their mama home with us if we had the chance. Just imagine what happiness they would bring to your life!

This picture reminds us of the storybook of the family who goes on a bear hunt. It looks as if mom and son are off to explore the world together! Can we join them?

This is one of the greatest photobombs we’ve ever seen. Proud parent ruining fabulous photo of pup! “Dad, stop it! It’s so awkward…”

This is the first mom and pup we’ve seen whose markings are significantly different. We’d love to see how the rest of her litter look! If they’re anything as adorable as this little guy then we think we might cry.

This puppy isn’t ready to be trusted with the stick just yet. But she’s providing great moral support for her mom!

This dad is teaching his son from the get-go that tiles are the best place to stay cool! This little pup is eager to do whatever his dad says, and even goes as far as to lie in the exact same position as his dad! They’re like a matching pair.

It’s impossible to look at this picture without letting out an involuntary squeal. The cuteness is just too much to handle. Imagine how soft they are!

One of our favorite things about pictures like this is how protective the mamma dog looks! It’s clear that she has a lot of love for her puppies. No one should dare to cross them!

This French Bulldog is in the deepest sleep, and she looks totally blissed out! Mom, on the other hand, looks like she could do with a sleep like this for herself. Being a mom is intense!

Is there anything sweeter than a puppy with a pink nose? He’s clearly just a few days old at the most! That little face would melt even the coldest of hearts.

Napping on the job is all-too-common when you’re a mom- but not to worry, as your little ones will soon wake you up again! Someone get dad to do some babysitting! This mom needs a power nap.

Although dad seems surprised to suddenly have a bunch of mini-mes to look after, we think he’s taking it in his stride! We love the husky puppy’s eyebrows. Maybe he got those from his mom?

Adorable names, adorable dogs. Seriously, we’re so jealous of anyone who gets the opportunity to look after puppies! Their cuteness levels are off the charts.

This mom looks like she’s taking a nap standing up- and in motherhood, anything is possible. We love these little crinkle-ball puppies so much! They have the funniest, most adorable faces.

Have you ever seen a more precious family photo before? Mom, dad and puppy are all smiles as they sit for one of their first even pictures together! This deserves to be framed.
