In the war for Internet fame, cats most certainly have canines beat, sending those poor puppies scampering off with their tails between their legs. That’s why this week, we’ve decided to let the pups have their due with their very own YouTube theme: Dogs.
Now, we must warn you before proceeding: These video may cause cooing, clapping, spontaneous adoptions and frequent to constant bouts of “awwwwwing.” Actually, this roundup borders on disgustingly cute.
So pull up a chair, divest yourself of any lingering traces of cynicism and clear your mind for a bit. And may we suggest sequestering yourself for a spell so as to save yourself the embarrassment of completely regressing to a gurgling child in front of your friends and relations? That might be smart.
Shiba Puppy Boo
Lauren Indvik: Boo doesn’t have to do anything but lick his nose to earn the “cutest puppy in the world” award.
Cute Shiba Inu Baby
Christina Warren: I want Santa to bring me one of these for Christmas!
Dogs Singing Christmas Song
Karen Hartline: Puppies dressed up in holiday gear that look like they’re singing are always cute. Tis the season.

Ada Ospina: I want to meet this dog.
Max Hiking Out of the Gully
Brian Dresher: Our dog, Max, is all over this weekly post! Here’s a one-minute clip of him showing off his climbing skills after not showing off his ability to listen. Plus, he’s a Westie, of Scottish origin, so this may appeal to certain colleagues more than others.
Butterball Downstairs
Radhika Marya: I present the little Corgi that could. My heart melted watching this puppy conquer the stairs.
Pedigree Dogs Ad Shot 1000 FPS Using the Phantom Camera

Dog vs. Balloons
Jay Irani: I never thought watching someone pop bubble wrapping would be fun, but it’s kind of cool if a dog does it.

Skateboarding Dog
Blake Robinson: Skateboarding dog!
David Bowie, “Diamond Dogs”
Brenna Ehrlich: Technically, this song isn’t about real dogs, but, then, I don’t like dogs — what with the drooling and the shedding and chewing on stuff. But this is an awesome post-apocalyptic jam, and there’s no better way to close out a week than that, am I right?
