Dogs may chew up your shoes and decorate the house with cotton fluff from a destroyed pillow you just bought last week. However, that trouble-making fur baby is worth cleaning up after because they make you happy ten times out of ten.

Maybe 9.5 out of ten when they chew up your favorite pair of shoes, but as dog owners, we learn to keep our favorite things out of their paws’ reach fairly quickly. Once a dog is in your life, it would be ruff to live without them. Their lovable derpy faces make it hard to leave when you go to work and give you life when you come home from a long day.

Without trying, they know how to warm our hearts and put the biggest smiles on our faces. Here are 20 adorable dog memes to remind you of how easy it is to love and be loved by dogs.
