In this world, it’s a little too easy to focus on nothing but the doom and gloom. But there’s actually a lot to love, too. So many things out there that’ll warm your icy heart right up.
Like these incredibly wholesome pictures. If anything, they’re a good reminder that there’s still a lot of love and happiness to go around.

Okay, that’s really wholesome. She just wanted to be the pepperoni! And I mean, that wedge really does look like a giant pizza slice.
“Perfectly timed photo!”
Okay, yeah, that’s really cute. I think the funniest thing is the fact that the doggo has no clue why its owners would want a picture like this, but followed orders anyway. Such a good pup.

Sometimes you just have to celebrate yourself, by yourself. No shame in being proud of your own achievements. Plus, you’ll always have the internet to share the cheer with.

This painting is so good, it’s almost hard to believe it isn’t real. And the fact that it’s a dog… definitely making me smile right now.
“Poor guy…but he’s adorable.”
Raccoons may be menaces, but they’re also really cute. I 100% don’t blame this guy for being a little too invested in this video of a raccoon washing its cotton candy.
Guess the little guy learned the hard way that you can’t “wash” it.
When a chance encounter ends up reuniting brothers:
It’s really cute how these good bois remembered each other, even though they’ve probably been separate for years now. But I guess whether you’re a person or a dog, you never forget family.
“Asked my wife to take a pic of me petting a Prairie Dog, this happened instead.”
I bet you anything that photobombing prairie dog didn’t have a care in the world in that moment. He probably doesn’t even know what a camera is!
Sometimes, all anyone needs is a friend.
No one likes feeling like they have no friends, even if they won’t admit it. I think what this person did when they were in high school is something we should all try to do, even as adults.

Flying is actually really stressful. So anything that helps calm people down is a really great idea for an airport. Also, dogs! The only downside is having to say goodbye to them.

In the year 2022, Rick rolling is a lot harder than it used to be. But not impossible. I guess this teacher was really impressed by his student’s pranking skills.
“My dog prefers to sleep on top of her crate rather than inside it.”
This is, like, hilariously adorable. No matter what we get for our dogs to make them comfortable, they’re gonna decide to do their own thing sometimes.
“This is the letter my neighbor sent me after I let him babysit my pets while I was on vacation.”
This right here. I’m sure OP thought their neighbor was doing them the favor, but it turned out the be the other way around.
“My dad who has passed on’s cat cuddled up to my teddy made of his favourite clothing.”
It’s amazing how this cat will sleep next to something that reminds him of his deceased owner, and yet people will still call cats heartless.

I’m not gonna lie… I’m kind of jealous. I don’t even have a cat, but I want one of these adorable things to hang up at home!
“Moved into our new home today and found this card left by the previous owner.”
I won’t lie, I’d find it really intimidating to live in a house that has so much history. The previous owners were there for 70 years!
