If you own a dog, you’ve probably had the urge to spin them into a meme at some point and spread it among your memebase. From facial expressions to adorable clinginess, our beloved four-legged companions can surprise you, make you laugh, and sometimes cry. 

To prove it, we have selected 50 of the cutest and most hilarious canine pics. Not every image in this selection of funny memes features dogs, however. Some are about us and our emotional journeys as owners. Now that’s a little bit better since it hardly ever is about us.

Cute Dog Meme: “When Your Dog Knows How to Make You Feel Better”

A dog meme featuring a close-up of a brown dog with wide eyes, looking concerned. The dog is next to a person's leg, which has a pink stuffed bunny resting on it. The text above the image reads, "Dobby only brings me her pink bunny when I’m not feeling well. It’s the bunny we bought her when she was sick, so clearly it has feel-better medicine in it."

Since my partner passed away, our dogs have honestly kept me alive. They’ve woken me up, made me go outside for a walk, and (after a few months) made me laugh. We’re extraordinarily privileged to have this relationship with another species.

Jeremy Greenberg on Why Dogs Are Hilariously Human

Bored Panda contacted author Jeremy Greenberg, who writes humorous gift books for pet lovers (1). Some notable books Greenberg’s books include “Sorry I Pooped On Your Shoe” and “Sorry I Humped Your Leg.” When asked why we find dogs so funny, the author said, “Dogs have no idea they aren’t human. Cats know they aren’t human, and would be repulsed by such a condescending comparison. But dogs think they are us and want to do all we do. So we give them peanut butter and think it’s funny when they struggle to eat it with the ease of a kindergartener.” 

Greenberg writes letters from the pets’ point of view to their owners in his books. Sometimes, he assumes the role so well that some might suspect he’s some Doctor Doolittle-type mind reader. “I am, without any guile, perfectly able to understand what our pets are thinking,” Greenberg confirmed our suspicions.

“But don’t be too impressed. As with dogs, it’s usually just a multiple-choice question of a few thoughts: One, I am hungry; two, I want attention; and three, the impermanence of material existence means that you don’t actually have to go to work and can take me for a walk right now!”

Greenberg on Prankster Pups, Cats’ Dark Humor, and the Pets That Chose Him

Being a dog whisperer, however, isn't Jeremy’s only occupation. He is also a comedian and believes that dogs can be born entertainers. “Prankster puppies are plentiful. They love to do hilarious things like hide our shoes and terrorize delivery people,” Greenberg believes.

Greenberg suggests he did not choose pets as his subject material, “pets actually chose me. I have a terrible personality and cats and dogs are the only beings who can tolerate me. Seriously, I’m the worst.”

Wait, what? Cats? Yes, Greenberg says he’s more partial to cats, and other books in his catalog include “Sorry I Barfed On Your Bed” and “Sorry I Slept On Your Face.” Both are collections of letters from cats to their owners.

When asked about it, he added: “I relate to cats more because I have poor social skills and love to bite people.” And to address the age-old question: cats or dogs, Jeremy’s answer was much more diplomatic this time: “Truth is that, like music or art, one’s view of which pet is best comes down to personal preference. But I would say that cats have more ‘insult and shock’ humor, and dogs are more observational and family friendly.”

A Grooming Session Accidentally Turns into a Life-Saving Moment 

A dog meme featuring a screenshot of a social media post. The post reads: "Not a rant... Something entirely different... Last week one of my regular dogs was actually EXTREMELY weird and stressed the entire groom. She kept pawing at me and barking in my face.. You guys she was being weird because I was having a f***ing heart attack. She is my client's seizure alert dog.. One of my dogs literally saved my life." The post has several reactions and comments below it.

Why Greenberg Isn’t Worried About the Future of His Dog Books

When there’s plenty of funny dog content online, one might think authors in the dog genre would feel threatened by the competition. But Greenberg isn’t worried about the future of his hilarious letter books, saying, “Until you can give an Internet as a gift, I think these books will always have a place in warming human hearts.” 

It’s not clear if every pet Jeremy has ever met relayed this message to him or just how he feels personally, but he tackles the question of bodily autonomy in cats and dogs. In a true animal advocate manner, he jokingly added: “Please forget to spay and neuter your pets.”

The Science Behind Why We Can’t Resist Cute Dog Pics


We enjoy browsing through dog pictures online, but have you ever wondered why we find it so appealing? What’s the science behind it? When it comes to our pets, our emotional connection drives our reactions — it’s my dog; I love it, so it makes me feel good. But what makes a meme of a small dog wearing a turtleneck and glasses so entertaining?

Looking at dog pictures online can “improve our well-being.” Multiple studies, such as one published by Jennifer Golbeck, Ph.D., featured on Psychology Today in 2020, have found that it benefits our mental health in the short and long term (2). The same perks apply when you see anything cute, but dogs, in particular, are an excellent stress reliever.

University of Victoria scientist Olav Krigolson, when interviewed by CBC in 2017, suggested that the power of unexpected cuteness is even stronger (3). When you don’t expect to see something wholesome and suddenly do, the brain perceives it as a reward. It results in a sudden dopamine rush, activating the same chemical reward system triggered by hard drugs. 

ADVERTISEMENT

But don’t be alarmed — the words “hard drugs” might sound alarming in the context of cute dog pics, but it’s not as severe as it seems. When scientists refer to the potential for addiction in this context, they mean an “addiction to a placebo,” according to Joshua Dale, a scholar from Seattle. It releases dopamine and oxytocin in the brain, but primarily, it just heals you. 

Looking at cute dog pictures can also help with your attention and concentration, according to a 2012 study published in the PLOS Journal (4). The brain’s reward system is only triggered when we see a pleasant image as a surprise. So unless you’ve deliberately set up numerous cute dog picture traps throughout your day, you should be fine.

Why Dog Memes Dominate Our Hearts and Health

A 2021 study published in the Psychology of Popular Media Journal has found that, at least based on the results during the pandemic, animal memes tend to be liked more than memes about us (5). The most popular ones are those featuring puppies or babies. 

ADVERTISEMENT

It shows that innate survival mechanisms, such as toward helpless animals, automatically trigger a more robust emotional response. The same study reveals that memes featuring young animals are perceived as cuter than those featuring young humans. The same goes for adult doggies and grown-ups.

People who own or have owned a dog naturally relate to dog-related content more and enjoy some health perks. According to Harvard Health, having a canine friend can reduce the risk of heart disease (6). Dog owners are also more likely to engage in extra physical activity due to taking daily walks.

Having a canine companion may also benefit our mental health. Dogs have been a massive part of therapy and education in recent decades. They’re often used as therapy animals because they help reduce the symptoms of depression and help build resilience to stress, explains Maria Cohut, Ph.D. in a 2018 feature for Medical News Today (7).

Dogs vs Cats: Why Both Pets Keep Dominating the Internet

Luckily, the health benefits of owning dogs aren't limited to them. Cats also have the same effect. As some headlines suggest, like the Guardian 2014 article, “Why the internet loves cats – not dogs,” cats are even more prevalent (8). The article claims dogs do funny things to appeal to their owners because they seek validation.

On the other hand, a cat gets in a tiny box just because it’s what it feels like at the moment. Essentially, dogs are try-hards. Jack Shepard (author of the article) calls a cat’s behavior “art for art’s sake.” But in defense of dogs comes Elena Cresci, with a 2016 Guardian feature, saying dog goofiness strengthens their relatability (9).

Cats always seem too cool for everything, too unbothered, yet there’s a persistent stigma of all cat owners being “crazy cat ladies.” Whichever pet you prefer, there’s no denying that cats and dogs dominate the internet.

Imagine how many more replies they might have received if they had just written ‘seeks companionship’ and left out the word ‘male’. I enjoy most of these activities except for the hunting. I’m a heterosexual woman but I’m pretty sure that gay and bisexual women would enjoy many of these activities too.

In response to your second sentence; that's actually false. The 555 sequence does correspond to a lot of real numbers that you can actually dial. This one for example is a real number and will lead you to a directory. There are many national directories and business lines that still use the 555 sequence number. It's just that Hollywood reserved about 100 of these 555 sequence numbers that don't exist so that they can use them on movies and shows, and it won't bother people if fans dial for real. Aside from the fictional 100 for TV, there are still many real ones that are being used to this day.

Mine is 13 now. After a long time working from home then going back to 2 days a week in the office he spends my home days lying under my desk. On office days I have to text my partner when I arrive at the end of the road so that he can let the dog out to greet me. He run’s faster than should be possible for a dog his age so that he can greet me. It’s as if I’ve been away for a month instead of 9 hours. Cute but really sad too.
