There are about 900 million dogs all around the world. 900 million fluffy cuties who are ready to give their best human friend all their love and devotion. We in turn love dogs, adore them, enjoy their spontaneity, and melt from their sweetness. And it’s not accidental. They are wonderful creatures and this has been confirmed numerous times.

Smalljoys can’t wait anymore to share with you the irrefutable evidence of dogs’ greatness.

1. Your best friend is always there to support you.

2. They smile…

There was much concern for Sam the cat (who thinks he’s a dog) after he was MIA at our lesson on chimken yesterday. We would like to assure you that he’s is doing well after being bamboozled by the poplets. He’s back on his paws, demanding chimken, posing for photos and still thinking he’s a dog…. ? #popsquad #squadgoals

Reflecting back to the time we did yoga at the river. ??‍♂️?? When I first posted this (one year ago) I didn’t know how to do downward dog on command, so Mom lunged at me, like she wanted to play, knowing I’d do this pose in response. ? Now, she just says “Yoga” and I immediately go into a downward dog pose. ? #nomorelungingatme #imissthelungestho #theywerefunnytowatch #namaste
