Meet one dog and you will fall in love with these animals. 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. 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.

#2 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!

#71 Ham Saved My Life Yesterday. He Hurt His Paw But I’m Alive Because Of His Bravery. Thank You, Ham. You Are My Best Friend

I was working on my house where I fell and was critically injured. He ran to me and started howling and crying; he tried to drag me and ripped his foot Oppenheimer. Luckily he got my neighbors attention. I should be dead, but he saved me.
