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?

1. My eyes! You can’t unsee that…

It’s a sad state of affairs.

2. This is my carry-on.

Is there a problem with that?

3. This is why I’m never leaving my house again.

Any more questions? I didn’t think so.

4. Let’s get the inside scoop.

Tell us your story, please. Start from the beginning…

Well, that was scary.

6. What are you guys reading?

That is one smart pooch!

7. Isn’t it always like this?

I know you’re ignoring me!

This dog is putting his paws down on this issue.

We’d love to meet your best friends!
