We could all use a little more warmth during these trying times, don’t you think?

And what better way to do that than to enjoy some wholesome memes about dogs that will lift the spirits of those among us who have the hardest hearts these days.

If there’s one thing that can bring us all together, it’s dogs…and there can be no debate about that fact, my friends.

So let’s enjoy these memes and go give your best friend a scratch behind the ears for us, will ya?
