puppies

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why the internet was invented. In this video, a baby named Louie can't get enough of a pair of pug puppies jump all over him, while they lick, teethe and do everything else puppies do when they're just so excited they don't know what else to do with themselves...

These puppies have already experienced their fair share of ups and downs.

If there's one thing the internet loves more than cute dogs, it just may be cute cats. So, what happens when they meet? An explosion of cuteness is what happens.

These two made an immediate connection.

While "Awww" might be the perfect name for a puppy since that's the first word many people make when seeing one, it has yet to catch on. In fact, it seems like pet owners aren't changing at all when it comes to picking a name for their puppies.

This bulldog puppy is going to win your heart.

Just when you thought CarMax raised the bar of cuteness with their "Slow Bark" commercial, Budweiser's Super Bowl 2014 commercial went and melted our hearts.

'Tis the season for miracles.

Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, stop. We're about to make your day a whole lot better, although we can't really take ownership over the adorableness that's about to ensue-- this one's all on the animals. Are you ready? It's puppy attack time!

It’s hard to resist an adorable puppy.

These animals know what's up. They know your secret. They know you're in on the joke. They know how to close their eyes one at a time. They know how to be adorable. They know how to wink.

Okay, maybe we shouldn't say "playing with puppies." Maybe we should say "tolerating being pestered by puppies." Regardless ... SQUEEEE!! It's no secret that we love capybaras (proof), and Cheesecake likes to foster puppies at the animal rescue where she lives...
