Meet one dog and you will fall in love with these animals forever. They encourage us to get out and explore the world, they help us find joy in simple things, like riding in a car, and they are always willing to snuggle. What I'm trying to say is, dogs are the best.
So in order to thank them for making us happy, we at Bored Panda have put together a new collection of wholesome dog posts. Whether it's a pup chilling in a flower basin or a diligent K9 "protecting" its hooman's baby, these pictures perfectly portray the pure nature of dogs, and we are lucky to have every single one of them.
Continue scrolling to enjoy the list and check out more of the same here and here.

This Dog Saved All Her Puppies From A Fire And Put Them All In One Of The Fire Trucks On The Scene
No wonder dogs are so great to us. Marissa Sunny, CPDT-KA and senior dog lifesaving specialist at Best Friends Animal Society, told Bored Panda that "dogs typically see their owners as family and their best friends! They grow extremely attached to people in their lives and will remember them even years later."
If you end up on a dog's good person list, it will definitely show you; dogs typically express affection by soliciting attention, "giving kisses", and actively trying to spend time with you," Sunny explained.

Science confirms that spending time with our canine companions does wonders for our wellbeing.
For example, a comprehensive review of studies published between 1950 and 2019 discovered that dog owners had a lower risk of death—studies suggest that dog owners have lower blood pressure levels and improved responses to stress.
Interestingly, people who had experienced previous coronary events had an even higher level of risk reduction for death.

When I was younger I was deathly allergic to the touch of cats but one day I saw a cat out. So I put on some dish washing gloves and got my friend and I held it and we went door to door for a owner then we found a old lady who owned the cat and she started crying cause I didn't know at the time that I risked my life alone just so a cat wouldn't be on the streets and she invited me in and we had tea. It was very nice.

its so much better to do this for someone, to like give them a memory of their pet than to try and replace it. <3

My neighbour got a portrait of my late kitty and dog done for me. She also got me keychains with their images on and heart hangers with their names and a quote. Not even my family did that for me.

Some peoples comments were totally out of order and unnecessary. I wouldn't want those types to be neighbours, and I might add I am not a gullible person

When I lost my girl after 14 years a friend I rarely saw anymore as we had drifted apart over the years showed up at my front door with a necklace that opened and charms go inside. She had a dog paw and dog bone and the letter K or Koty in there. That's friendship.

You can never underestimate the love of a pet, and sometimes your neighbour can be an angel. What a lovely thoughtful lady... no doubt she'd experienced your pain.

Also, dogs make us a lot more sociable. Think about it, aren't people with canines more approachable? There's always a conversation starter wagging its tail next to them!
Researchers have found that about 40 percent of dog owners have an easier time making friends—these animals really help us to get to know strangers and form new relationships.

With all of the unconditional love we receive from dogs, it's only fair we do everything in our power to make them feel content too. "For dogs to live a happy, fulfilling life, it is important that their families make sure all their needs are being met, not just the basic ones," Sunny highlighted.
"Dogs have emotional needs that can be filled by spending time with you and getting attention. They also have mental and intellectual needs that can be met by going on walks and playing games. It is important to look at your dog as a full creature with a developed mind to meet all its emotional, physical, and health needs."

Their Dog Hasn’t Eaten Well Since They Brought Their Baby Home
Their dog hasn’t eaten well since they brought their baby home - dog kept taking food into the living room and leaving it there. Someone suggested the dog might be worried the baby isn’t visibly eating, so is “feeding” the baby. They tried giving the baby a bowl of food at the same time. It worked!

Such a sweet dog, I had a dog hat was part Terrier, I named him Danny, my personal thought, Terriers are very intelligent, I wasn't into teaching him tricks, but he did some cute things, on his own, when I went out, he would stand in the window, I would wave to him, he waved back !!!

This is a picture of my dog Shilo (the Border Collie) Rua the brown dog and Toby the white dog. Rua and Toby belong to my neighbours but all three are the best of friends and always have great fun running around and playing with each other despite Shilo being nearly twice the height of them. In fact one of their favourite games is that Rua and Toby will chase each other and run underneath Shilo when chasing each other while Shilo just stands there laughing at them.
