We all like to think that we have all the answers, but sometimes, life throws a real doozy at us. We eagerly watch trivia shows like Who Wants to be a Millionaire and imagine that we were the ones sitting next to Jeremy Clarkson, ready to claim our first million! If trivia questions are your idea of a good time, you’ve come to the right place because we’ve got it all right here!
What Does Our Planet Revolve Around?
People around the world are intrigued by space, and for good reason. The greatness of outer space is so vast that we struggle to comprehend it.
Experts like Professor Brian Cox also admit to being overwhelmed by the magnitude of what lies beyond our planet. We all know that Earth revolves around a stellar being. Is it the Sun or Uranus? Could it be the moon or Mars?
Simply Out of this World
Even our best scientific equipment is too restrictive to determine the exact size of space, but we know it’s more significant than 93 billion light years. That’s a number that we can’t fathom.
When we examine Earth, it is relatively tiny compared to other celestial objects. The largest and most useful celestial being for us is the Sun. We are permanently revolving around it.
Which Two Animals Do Mules Stem From?
Our planet is filled with extraordinary animals that often surprise us. In fact, the loudest animal in the world is only 2 cm in size! It’s called a pistol shrimp.
Many animals came into existence because of gene crossing of different animals. Which animals do mules stem from? Could it be horses, donkeys, goats, or camels?
Tough as Nails
When a male horse and a female donkey mate, a mule is born. Amazingly, these animals possess some of the best qualities of both animals.
While they might not be as fast as horses, they are very tough and resilient. Their fur is also much thicker than a horse’s, allowing them to survive in harsh conditions.
How Many Continents Are There On Earth?
Our planet is filled with diverse places, from hot, dry deserts to frozen wonderlands. It might be challenging to name every country on Earth, because there are almost 200!
But how much do you know about the continents, and how many are there? Are there as many as 13 continents or as few as three? Or is it something in between?
Wonderful Masses of Land
Earth has only seven continents: Africa, Australia, South America, North America, Asia, Europe, and Antarctica. Asia is the largest continent, covering over nine percent of Earth’s surface.
On the other hand, despite spanning over three million square miles, Australia is the smallest continent. It’s also the only continent that is also its own country. Put another shrimp on the barbie!
What Did the UK Call Snickers Bars Before 1990?
Whenever people are asked what their favorite treat is, the odds are that chocolate will be mentioned. It’s hard even to imagine our lives without this magical ingredient.
One of the most popular chocolates today is the Snickers bar, and we all know the name of it… But it wasn’t always called this in the UK. Do you know what it was called before?
A Bar by Any Name
Snickers bars are so popular that the company doubles production for months leading up to Halloween. Interestingly, the UK called this top-notch bar a Marathon Bar up until 1990.
Perhaps this is because people might consider running a marathon to get their hands on one! Or maybe they eat them while running to get energy. We prefer the name Snickers. How about you?
Which Country Is the Smallest in the World?
There are 195 countries on Earth. Some countries have unique features. Take Nigeria, for example. It has 520 spoken languages and dialects!
Even if you can name all or most of them, ask yourself if you can identify the world’s smallest country based on its square mileage.
One-of-a-Kind
The Vatican City is the world’s smallest country, at just 0.17 square miles. But what it lacks in size, it makes up for in importance and value.
It is home to the Pope, the Vatican, and many of the world’s most precious artistic and religious artifacts. As a result, this country has more than five million visitors annually.
Which Planet Is the Closest to the Sun?
Our solar system is an extraordinary celestial structure. The planets can be divided into gas giants and terrestrial planets.
We live on a terrestrial planet that is close enough to the Sun for us to live. But which planet is the first in line from the sun?
Twisted Realities
If you said Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, you would be right. Because it’s so close to the Sun, it’s natural to think that it’s the hottest planet, but that’s untrue.
Venus is much further from the Sun, but it is also the hottest planet. This is because Venus has a very thick atmostphere filled with greenhouse gasses!
How Many Sides Do Heptagons Have?
Just when we think we’ve seen all the shapes our planet has to offer, a new shape was discovered in 2018. The shape is called a scutoid, and it’s a 3-dimensional, eight-faced prism.
While we are more familiar with standard shapes like circles, squares, and octagons, do you know how many sides a heptagon has?
Shapes All Around
There are many shapes that are similar in number of sides, making it complicated to remember them individually, especially when they’re uncommon.
A heptagon has seven sides, while an octagon has eight. Hexagons have six sides, and decagon has ten. Try saying that seven times fast!
Which Ocean Lies on the West Coast of the US?
Americans are very proud of the West Coast, and for good reason. It is home to fantastic beaches, superb natural sights, and the world’s biggest bookstore.
If you’ve been fortunate enough to explore the West Coast, you might have seen the ocean that lies next to it. Is it the Pacific, Mediterranean, Indian, or Atlantic Ocean?
One of Five Massive Oceans
Our Earth has five huge oceans. The Pacific stretches from the West Coast of the US to Australia and Asia.
Residents of the West Coast insist that visitors try the delicious selection of Mexican food and visit a music festival.
What Color Does Blue and Yellow Mixed Make?
We go through our lives surrounded by color. In fact, scientists say that color has such a significant effect on people that it can evoke long-lost childhood memories.
When you mix colors, we might be surprised by the result. What color do you think you get when you mix blue and yellow together?
A Rainbow of Colors
When we mix blue and yellow, we get green. If you choose a dark shade of blue, your green will be pretty dark, too.
On the other hand, if you use more yellow than blue, your green will be light in color. Either way, the answer is green. Did you get that?
What’s the Strongest Muscle in the Human Body?
While we are all aware that we have muscles all over our bodies, we might not know that much about them. All muscles can be divided into three groups — skeletal, cardiac, and smooth.
We know that all our muscles are essential, but which muscle is the strongest? Could it be the brain, our biceps, tongue, or jaw muscle?
Flex that Muscle
Impressively, an adult has more than 600 muscles. While people might think that the strongest muscles are located in the upper legs, back, or arms, they’re wrong.
The strongest muscle is in the jaw, and it is called the Masseter. This powerful muscle can exert over 200 pounds of pressure on your molars. Crazy!
Which Land Animal Is the Fastest?
Our planet has varied animals, from slow snails to speedy gazelles. Some can jump incredibly high, and some can swim extremely fast.
But there is one animal that can outrun every other animal on the planet. So, regarding land animals, which ones leave the others in the dust?
The Speed of Light
Cheetahs are the world’s fastest land animals. Their incredible flexibility and stretchability allow them to reach speeds of up to 80 miles per hour.
Even Usain Bolt couldn’t outrun a cheetah… And that’s saying something because he’s faster than every other human at 23.35 mph over 100 meters. This is a huge difference compared to a sloth that moves a foot per minute.
How Many Months Have Only 30 Days?
Most of us live our lives by the calendar. We pencil in essential events that can’t be missed. The 12 months of the year seem to fly by.
Interestingly, the Roman calendar had only 10 months. Out of the 12 months we have today, how many have 30 days?
Take it Day by Day
It is a logical way to think that half of the year has 30 days and the rest has 31 days, but it isn’t accurate.
Instead, only four of the twelve months have 30 days… April, June, September, and November. As the rhyme says — all the rest have 31, except for February (which has 28 days, except in leap years when it has 29).
What does WWW Stand For?
The internet has become such an integrated part of our lives that it’s challenging to think of life without it.
We might repeatedly type the letter ‘w’ three times every day, but what does it stand for? Could it be Wild Wild West, World With Windows, or World Wide Web?
Global Connections
The internet has blessed us all with extraordinary ways to communicate. It is possible to communicate with anyone anywhere within seconds.
That is thanks to the World Wide Web! If you were born after the year 2000, you likely wouldn’t know this one. But that’s what us oldies used to call it back in the day.
What is the Process of Liquid Turning into Gas Called?
Remembering your elementary science classes, you might recall learning about the water cycle.
This process is needed for all life on Earth to continue. How well do you know the names of the steps that are so vital to us?
Put the Kettle on
We’ve all seen it. When you are making yourself a cup of tea, you see the steam escaping from that hot cup of liquid. That’s the process of evaporation happening before your eyes.
Condensation is the opposite process, where a gas cools down and turns into a liquid.
Which M&M Color Do We Find the Least?
M&Ms have become international staples; kids and adults everywhere enjoy this tasty treat. Interestingly, it was impossible to find red M&Ms in the ’70s because of health concerns.
Today, red isn’t the rarest color anymore. So, when you open a bag of this treat, what color will be the fewest? Could it be yellow, blue, green, or brown?
Sweet as Candy
Believe it or not, brown is the rarest color of M&Ms. This is quite surprising, considering that it’s the same color as chocolate.
The candy is so popular that their New Jersey factory produces more than two billion of these delicious treats in eight hours. Imagine the colors and smells within that factory!
How Many Legs Does a Spider Have?
Arachnophiles might disagree, but spiders are amazing creatures. They have fascinating features, including two body parts, silk-producing glands, and exoskeletons.
The variety of spiders is also mind-blowing, with some spiders so giant that they can catch birds and others so small that they are tricky to see with the naked eye. Whether you like them or not, do you know how many legs these fascinating creatures have?
Move Over, Spiderman
The reason why spiders can hunt so well is because of their excellent eyesight and multiple legs. Spiders have eight legs, a feature that sets them apart from insects.
While spiders have two body parts and eight legs, insects have three body parts and six legs. Some spiders have eight eyes, others have six, and a few have four.
Which Manufactured Drink Is the Most Consumed Worldwide?
These days, we are spoiled for choice when it comes to drinks. No matter where you go, you’ll find something to quench your thirst.
Big franchises like Starbucks have their own coffee-producing farms to keep up with demand. The most consumed drink in the world might surprise you!
Refill, Please!
If you answered coffee to the question above, you’re incorrect. In fact, the most consumed manufactured drink in the world is tea.
This is thanks to the incredible selection of teas available to consumers today. Plus, tea is cheap to grow and package, making it inexpensive to sell.
Which Soft Drink Was the First to Be Enjoyed in Space?
Most of us enjoy the thirst-quenching abilities of soda pop, so soda drinks continue to thrive in the market.
In fact, Coca-Cola sold 37.2 billion cases in the US alone in 2021. With such a vast selection of soft drinks to choose from, which one was enjoyed first?
A Space Race
The idea of racing to be the first soft drink in space might be amusing, but that’s what happened between Coca-Cola and Pepsi in 1985.
Coca-Cola was consumed eight hours before Pepsi was in space. Which side of the co*ke vs. Pepsi debate are you on? We know where we stand…
Which Organ Cleans Blood and Removes Waste?
Our bodies work like well-designed machines, with everything working in equilibrium. While all organs serve a purpose, some are more vital than others.
We can’t live without several of our body parts, but especially this crucial organ — but is it our kidneys, lungs, liver, or heart?
Keeping Us Strong
If you guessed that the answer is kidneys, you are spot on! Our kidneys might be small, but they’re very valuable organs.
They help our bodies balance mineral, salt, and water levels. They also help with blood pressure control and vitamin D activation.
Who Painted the Mona Lisa?
When it comes to famous paintings that are on millions of people’s bucket lists, the Mona Lisa is the queen.
People from all over the world travel to the Louvre in Paris to take a look at this iconic painting. However, most of us might not know who was responsible for this masterpiece.
A Secretive Smile
Few paintings have been so captivating that songs have been sung about them. We all know the smash hit “Mona Lisa” by Nat King Cole.
He sings of her secretive smile because she often makes us wonder what she’s thinking about. Leonardo Da Vinci was responsible for this sensational work of art.
Which Food Will Never Spoil?
We’ve all experienced it. We’re making a sandwich, only to find that our bread has become moldy, and we have to throw it away.
Fruits go fuzzy when it is humid, and veggies rot in time, shortening our time to enjoy them. However, there’s one food that will never go bad.
What a Buzz!
Honey is the only food that will never spoil. This is thanks to its unique makeup. Honey can really be considered nature’s treat.
In fact, bees live off of honey in the wintertime. It only seems fair that this superfood powers its makers, too, right? That’s really something worth buzzing about.
How Do We Classify Ourselves?
Let’s face it. The human race is pretty fascinating. We have the ability to grow, change, and learn. We can also classify things, including ourselves.
The question, however, is how we correctly classify ourselves. Are we autobots, mammals, carnivores, or herbivores?
Fit the Mold
Humans are mammals, and we share that classification with many animals, including Blue Whales. We fall into this category because we have mammary glands and fur.
Amazingly, the mammal group ranges in weight from animals weighing a few grams to those weighing up to 160 tons.
What does TMI Stand For?
Acronyms save time and add a bit of flavor to our lives. Acronyms like LOL, TGIF, and YOLO are used worldwide every day.
Another one that is often seen is TMI, but what does it stand for? Try My Internet? Or perhaps it’s Too Many Invites?
Don’t Overshare!
We all have that one friend who seems to have no filter. Often, we wish we could unhear things that have been said.
At times like these, the acronym TMI comes in handy because it means too much information!
What Do You Call the Outer Measurement of a Circle?
Circles have always been regarded as being the most positive shape. Think about the Circle of Life and the 5 Circles that represent the Olympic Games.
Even though we are surrounded by circles every day, they’re the most difficult shapes to draw perfectly. Admit it, you’ve tried drawing the perfect circle at least once! Can you succeed in naming the measurement of the outside of a circle?
Round and Round We Go
Mathematicians have many names that relate to this fabulous shape. Terms like perimeter, diameter, area, and circumference are regularly used.
While all of these terms relate to circles, only one of them refers to the outer measurement of a circle — the circumference.
What’s New York’s State Capital?
New York is arguably the world’s best-known city because of its vibrant lifestyles, Times Square, and its proximity to the Statue of Liberty.
If you love the state of New York, can you name its capital? Is it Albany, Brooklyn, or Buffalo?
Tiny but Effective
While Albany is more than 14 times smaller than New York City, it is the state’s capital city. Does this surprise you as much as it surprised us?
It has a fascinating history as it is the birthplace of the electric motor and the telegraph. Sometimes, you can be small and mighty, as Albany shows.
What Does a Geiger Counter Measure?
Ever since the beginning of the human race, man has been fascinated by the idea of measuring things. We measure everything around us, often without even realizing it.
We measure our bodies, the temperature, our time, and the distances we need to travel, only to name a few. But what’s a Geiger Counter, and what does it measure?
That Really Counts
Sometimes, the things we don’t see have the ability to harm us most. That’s why we regularly measure air quality, radiation levels, precipitation, and temperature.
A Geiger Counter is a measuring device for determining radiation levels. If you plan to take a trip to Chernobyl, you may want one of these.
What’s the 50th State Called?
The Stars & Stripes represent the states so beautifully, boldly showcasing 50 perfect stars.
While the flag is very impressive, it makes us wonder whether we can name the 50th state. Could it be Maine, Nevada, Hawaii, or Alaska?
Aloha!
Hawaii was the last state to be added to the US list. In fact, it was only named and added in 1959. Better late than never, Hawaii!
Hawaii is one of America’s 10 most visited states, even though it was late to the party. It seems to be making up for lost time!
What’s a Collection of Maps Called?
These days, we have no difficulty finding maps to navigate the world around us. In fact, more than a billion people in 220 territories and countries use Google Maps daily.
Years ago, we had to find maps in a book that held many maps. Was this book called an atlas, an almanac, or an encyclopedia?
Let’s Find That Spot
Before GPS, we had to find our bearings with the use of a book of maps called an atlas. If you ask your grandparents, they likely had one in their cars back in the day.
While these books came in handy, they are not a match for the convenience of online maps today. Unless you run out of battery, that is!
Star Sign for Those Born in Late-October?
Fascinatingly enough, there were originally 13 zodiac signs. The thirteenth was known as the Snake Charmer. It was the Babylonians who decided that there wasn’t space for a 13th sign on the astrological wheel.
How well do you know your zodiac signs? If our birthday was on October 27th, would that make us a Scorpio, a Leo, a Taurus, or a Capricorn?
Written in the Stars
People have been fascinated by zodiacs and their horoscopes for centuries. In fact, the oldest horoscope dates back to 410 BC.
But not everyone knows which star signs align with which dates. People celebrating their birthdays between October 23rd and November 23rd are Scorpios.
What’s Iron’s Chemical Element Symbol?
Our world comprises chemicals and particles without which we can’t survive. It’s a delicate balance to ensure life on Earth is possible.
While we might know that H2O is water, it becomes more complicated when we start testing our knowledge of the periodic table.
Iron Strength
Many people might answer that ‘I’ is the symbol for iron, but that’s not accurate. Instead, FE is the symbol for this element.
This is the most used element found on the planet. We need its durability and strength for manufacturing and civil engineering projects.
What Do We Call the Center of the Earth?
While we might know our planet’s appearance from where we stand, the Earth is a layered wonderland with many important layers.
The deepest layer of Earth experiences so much pressure that it is always in a liquid state. What do we call this part of Earth?
The Core of the Matter
The center of Earth is called the core. Due to the pressure, this part of Earth has a temperature of nearly 10,000℉ — now that’s roasty toasty!
The crust is covered by the mantle, which is solid. This mantle ensures that we don’t all become medium-to-well-done human steaks.
How Many Tentacles Do Octopi have?
The ocean is filled with outstanding animals that can do incredible things. From fish that can blow up to squid that can shoot ink, the ocean is a treasure trove for the unusual.
An octopus is also a unique animal because it has many tentacles rather than just two or four like most other animals. But just how many do they have?
Always Within Reach
If your answer was that an octopus has eight tentacles, you’re on the money! Imagine how much easier your life would have been if you had eight arms.
All species of octopi have eight tentacles, and these body parts help them search for food and secure their safety. They also make them look pretty cool!
What’s Mickey Mouse’s Pet Called?
For decades, Walt Disney has entertained us with his fabulous cartoons. Many of his characters have become so popular that they can be seen worldwide.
Mickey Mouse is his most recognized character. Do you remember that Mickey actually has a pet dog? Can you recall the pup’s name?
Mouse’s Best Friend
Mickey Mouse’s pet dog is called Pluto. Mickey Mouse was created in 1928, and his pet hound followed a few years later.
These days, Mickey Mouse is just as recognizable as Santa! Today, hundreds of thousands of people visit Disney Land and Disney World, many to get a photo with Mickey and Pluto.
How Many Innings Does a Baseball Game Have?
Baseball has become such a big part of our global culture, dating all the way back to 1744. While it’s widely played in the US, there may be a few things you don’t know.
While this question might be easy for baseball players to answer, non-players might need clarification on whether it is as few as 5 or as many as 12.
Take Me Out to the Ball Game
There are nine innings in a baseball game. The game is so popular that it has its own song celebrating it. The song is called “Take Me Out to the Ball Game.”
The song is as well-known as “Happy Birthday” in the US. Whether you attend a big game or a little league event, those around you will be sure to know it.
What Do We Call a Group of Wolves?
Wolves are amazing animals that combine their strengths to enhance their odds of survival. This is primarily because they live in groups.
Dolphins, meerkats, and crows are also considered animals that live in groups for survival. So, what do we call a group of wolves?
Be Social
Wolves are pack animals, and as a result, a group of wolves is called a pack. It’s very uncommon to see a wolf without a pack.
These amazing animals can take on large enemies, find food sources, and stay warm when they stick together. Safety in numbers, after all.
Which Currency Does Scotland Use?
Scotland is a place unlike any other. In fact, it is the only place to have an imaginary animal for its official animal. Yes, you read that right. The official animal for Scotland is a unicorn.
But when it comes to currency, where does this interesting place land? Does Scotland use the Peso, Euro, Yen, or Pound?
Show Me the Money
Scotland uses Pounds, which is used throughout the entire UK. Another fun fact about Scotland is that it’s home to the world’s shortest flight, only 47 seconds long!
The flight is 1.7 miles long in the Orkney Islands from Westray to Papa Westray. A round trip on this flight will cost you 14 Pounds.
Which Fairytale Features a Gingerbread House?
For centuries, people have been entertaining their children with fairytales. In fact, the name ‘fairytales’ dates back to the 1700s.
A fairytale featuring an evil witch who tries to lock up two children has been around for centuries. Can you name it?
Blood Is Thicker than Water
The Brothers Grimm were two brothers with active imaginations who created many of the fairy tales that we know today.
Among those is the gripping story of Hansel and Gretel. The story features siblings who find their way to a gingerbread house in the woods. But all is not as it seems.
What was Albert Einstein Most Known For?
Most people can quickly identify Albert Einstein because of his iconic (and somewhat nutty) appearance and his famed E=MC2 equation.
We all know that he is the reason why we’re so scientifically advanced these days. But what was he most famous for?
Phenomenal Understanding
Einstein was praised for his deep understanding of gravity, space, the universe, and time. In fact, we can thank him for GPS because, without him, we would still be using an atlas.
Even with all of this, Albert Einstein was best known for his Theory of Relativity. He published his theory all the way back in 1915, and many of his findings are still relevant today!
Where Can You Find the Taj Mahal?
This architectural masterpiece is one of the world’s most iconic and visited places. We bet you have seen it in pictures or in movies before.
Amazingly, Emperor Shah Jahan created the Taj Mahal as a gesture of love for his wife. Is it located in China, Japan, Israel, or India?
An Impressive Landmark
This remarkable landmark took more than 20 years to complete. Construction began in 1632 and was finally finished in 1653.
Standing gloriously in India, it was worth the wait! The masterpiece welcomes around eight million visitors a year and is one of the most popular landmarks.
How Many Stripes Are There on the United States Flag?
We are all familiar with the American flag’s 50 stars, which represent the 50 states. However, can you recall the number of stripes on the flag without needing to see a photo of it?
Could it be as few as 10 or as many as 20? We all know what it looks like but when it comes down to it, can you say how many stripes there are?
Salute the Star-Spangled Banner
The American flag is one of the world’s most iconic and easily recognized flags. The Stars & Stripes shares a bold message of patriotism, values, and aiming for the American dream.
The stripes represent the colonies of the US. The flag boldly displays seven red and six white stripes, with a total of 13 stripes.
By Thalia Shepherd –
As any dog owner can attest, their lovable pets share the same varied personalities, complexities, intrigue, and cuteness as their owners. It’s no wonder our four-legged companions can express the same emotional depth and hilarity we can. And, let’s face it, they’re so cute, it’s almost unbearable. They’re, like, really cute! Compiling a list of our favorite pups, pooches, and doggos, we’ll take a look at a handful of posts from a well-known dog rating Twitter account, WeRateDogs.
Tiny Dog, Big Awws
What’s that bounding over the bushy grass? It’s none other than Rudder, the tiniest, cutest pooch fetching his favorite yellow flower. This adorable dog may only be just a puppy, but he already has a keen eye for a good photo opportunity.
Imagining Rudder frolicking around the yard carrying a sunflower the size of his head is enough to brighten your day and leave everyone oohing and aahing. He’s got the right recipe to make hearts melt and jump in excitement at how cute he is.
Born to Pose
We’ve all had one of those picture-perfect moments go completely wrong at the last second. Whether we’ve been photobombed, buttoned our shirt wrong, or, in this case, caught a burst of wind and ended up with a face completely covered in hair… Been there, done that.
Surprisingly, this little pooch totally owns the moment. Closing his eyes, working with the wind, and pulling off that effortless style we’ve all dreamed of, Blue seems like he’s ready for Fashion Week. It’s impressive how well he knows his best angle.
Saturday Morning Vibes
This calm corgi is most likely awaiting his favorite Saturday morning cartoons to kick off. Those are fond memories as we recall finding the biggest bowl and pouring far too much cereal and milk in. Thankfully, Darwin is more patient than most of us ever were.
We’re guessing this pup has easily become a fan of watching reruns of Bananas in Pyjamas and trying his best to work the remote. It’s no wonder Darwin is the best dog for morning cuddles in front of the TV.
Award-Winning Pup
Delighted by his shining moment in front of the judges, the award-winning Boone proudly poses for the camera for a post-competition picture. This happy pup is on cloud K-9 after reaching second place in a local competition, most likely for being such a good dog.
Sharing this spectacular moment with his family and, of course, with us is adorable. We’re so proud of you, Boone. Even though it’s second place, we know you’ll get first place the next time you step in front of the judges. We can’t wait to see you walk away a winner.
Alternative Style of the In-Crowd
This stylish pup wants to show you his vinyl collection of his favorite bands, but you’ve probably never heard of them. At any rate, Rux looks content with his new trim, sporting a fashionable look that puts him straight into the cool crowd at the dog park.
Color us jealous! We’ve all tried unsuccessfully to pull off a new hairstyle and nearly fainted when checking our reflections. Rux must have shown his dog groomer the right picture to pull off this perfect look. Maybe we can show Rux’s picture at our next haircut.
Pint-Sized Admiration
This picture is a remarkable reminder of how dogs can have similar emotions and attitudes to humans. Seeing how Aspen looks up to and admires the seasoned Piper sitting at attention for the camera resembles so many ways we admire each other as humans.
Even though Piper is managing to hold her gaze forward, this stoic doggo can sense the emotion and reverence shining through Aspen’s eyes. It warms our heart that dogs, too, can have such emotional range and care for each other so deeply.
A Look That Melts Hearts
Maisie was born for the camera and shines in the spotlight. With a precious smile gleaming across such an adorable face and a twinkle in her eyes that will bring a tear to yours, this sweet dog has all the means to leave you speechless.
This innocent little pup running over for a picture and sharing her unbridled joy with the world is unbearably cute. We hope to see Maisie again in the future as her smile can part the clouds on a rainy day and bring the sunshine back.
Ball Boy K-9
We love having our wonderful pets accompany us everywhere we go, and our loving dogs adore sharing in all the activities that make us tick. We can clearly see this is the case with Obi, as his training has paid off.
Now ready to join his owners on the tennis court, Obi will be the best ball boy out there. Getting to run around outside, playing fetch on the court, and spending the day with the people he loves most is the ideal way to pass the time.
Pancho’s Painstaking Patience
The level of patience and self-control is magnificent. Able to resist the temptation of quickly snatching up his favorite treat, Pancho is a well-trained doggy that has learned the importance of patience. Of course, he’ll gobble the treat on command, but it’ll be well earned.
It’s amazing how dogs can learn such self-control with just a little guidance and patience. We just looked at the picture again, and it’s incredible that Pancho is still waiting. We wonder how long this pup can hold out before giving in.
Discomfort in Paradise
Most of us remember our first time at the beach. There was that sticky feeling when the ocean water dried on our skin, the sand got everywhere, and our first sunburn messed up our skin’s sensitivity. Ouch. Obi-Wan doesn’t seem like he had such a great time.
This cute pup might not be having the best time right now, but wipe the sand off his nose, turn him around, and hand him a soothing beverage, and he’ll be enjoying the sunset and wagging his tail in seconds.
Pet Shop Toys
If you want a good recommendation on a long-forgotten hit or a newly released masterpiece, you’ve come to the right place. Bo is the perfect four-legged employee, as he can sniff out a hit album from across the record shop.
Listening intently to the genres of music you prefer the most, Bo takes in your musical preferences and even offers a smile once you’ve thanked him for his recommendations. This musically inclined K-9 knows his stuff and is due for a promotion.
Cute Until Proven Guilty
With a knowing smirk and sweet gaze, Iroh is keenly aware he stole the cookie from the cookie jar. Playing it off super cool and letting his puppy dog eyes work their magic, he’s hoping we forgive and forget. It’s hard to resist that look.
Whether you choose to mention the stolen cookie or succumb to his innocent-looking charm, we’ve decided to let it slide this time. Iroh knows our soft side and that we’re suckers for a cute smile, even when the evidence is staring us in the face.
One Size Fits All
Dogs can grow up so quickly, and we never realize how fast time can get away from us. Grizz is hanging on to his tiny pool from when he was a puppy and claims that he still fits. Maybe the pool shrunk. Maybe he’s outgrown it.
Hopefully, this adorable doggo will learn to let go and upgrade to a larger backyard bath. He’ll actually be able to swim around, enjoy the water, and feel less cramped. Either way, it’s cute seeing Grizz stuffing himself into this physics-defying pool.
Sit, Stay, Strike a Pose
Seemingly trained by the world’s best models, these two remarkable pooches make posing for the camera look like a cinch. They have all the right moves, poses, and a knack for giving the camera the right look to mark the occasion.
We’re genuinely impressed at the skill required to teach Ferris and Luka to hold these poses. What takes many of us years to master is made to look effortless as these two dogs easily shine in front of the camera.
Summer Swimwear
Preparing to hit the pool, this aquatic K-9 is donning a tiny life vest to help keep him afloat. Stanley is looking adorably fashionable as he poses poolside before excitedly launching himself into the clear blue waters for a refreshing swim.
The only thing that could make this picture any cuter would be tiny, orange arm floats with his little paws sticking out. We think it was the right choice not to include them, because that picture would have been too cute for us to handle. We’re happy Stanley’s swimming in style.
First Place in Our Hearts
It’s a beautiful sight to behold when you see an older dog charm the judges and take home the award for first place. Although they say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, it seems that Lola must have already known how to be adorable.
Giving us a proud smile and showing off her award, Lola poses for a picture feeling on top of the world. There’s no doubt she’ll be wearing her award the next time she visits the dog park and showing the younger pups a thing or two.
Aye, Aye, Captain
Although Brixton’s captain’s hat may not fit, he was born to lead his crew onto the high seas. As a natural-born navigator, this lovable dog has found his way into our hearts with this funny picture of losing the battle against his hat.
Of course, Brixton has little time for pictures as his attention is needed on deck. Passengers are restless, the crew requires their captain, and this brave dog is just the one to lend a helping paw and get the job done.
First Bus Ride Jitters
Everyone remembers their first time on a bus. Climbing the steps of the bus, finding a good place to sit, pressing your face against the window, and watching your parents wave as you tackle the world on your own.
Reggie is a brave dog. He’ll meet tons of new friends, find the perfect toy he’s been saving for, and have an exciting story to tell when he gets back home. With an adorably concerned expression, he’s just realizing he’s a dog and doesn’t know how to read the bus map. Oops.
The Relaxing Island Life
When plans for a surf trip to an exotic island destination were changes, Loki got to enjoy a piece of the island life back home. Sporting a lei on top of her head and digging her new tan, this island dog is soaking up retired life.
None of us can blame this chill dog as we’ve all reminisced about a restful retreat of our own. The sun bouncing off the waves, a refreshing drink in hand, and the feeling everything’s all good. Hopefully, Loki invites us along next time.
Doggy Howser, M.D.
Every medical student is familiar with this scene; the exam is around the corner, so you decide to try studying in the quad. Fresh air and sunshine beat spending hours in the stuffy library. Your only downfall is not sleeping the last two days.
This studious pooch ended up tuckered in the grass and paying the ultimate price, notes with a mind of their own floating away with help from the wind. As a last resort, he can nibble on his paperwork and claim the dog ate his notes.
True Party Animal
How do the party hats keep multiplying? Well, that’s ‘cause the party’s really kicking off. This party animal knows how to have a good time. Music, dog treats, and, of course, all dogs love certain card games (we saw it in a painting once).
The only problem is this adorable dog hears her parents pulling into the driveway a day early, and she knows it’s time to face the music. You’re probably wondering how dogs can drive. Well, if they can play cards, we’re sure they can get a license.
Ready for a Snooze
Beanka, nestled perfectly between the cushions of a comfortable couch, seems to be dozing off. He had a long night yesterday. He was helping Beau study for his medical school exam and didn’t get much sleep. You’re a good boy, Beanka.
Now that it’s the next morning, this sleepy pup is struggling to get to class. You did great and deserve to sleep in. Of course, your professor might disagree, Beanka. We spoke on the phone. There’s a pop quiz, so you better hurry up.
Protector, Pal, Pooch
This is a touching sight!Graham quickly develops a bond with the beautiful newborn baby and watches over them every chance he gets. The new addition to the family will grow up with a loving caretaker. Isn’t that just so heartwarming?!
As the pair grow up together, their bond will only deepen. And when the newborn baby gets old enough, they can take on responsibilities that will return the same adoration by taking care of Graham. This loving bond is an experience for both to share.
Homeward Bound
We can’t believe our eyes. It’s incredible how well dogs can see and how finely tuned their sense of smell is. Traveling hundreds of miles per hour ten of thousands of feet above the Earth, Louis sniffs, spots, and points out his home through the clouds.
This eagle-eye pup has an unbelievable sense of sight, smell, and direction, instructing the pilot exactly where to land. Hopefully, we can contact Louis to get a helping paw because we’ve misplaced our keys and haven’t a clue where to look.
Skater Pup
Chevy has the perfect hoodie to go with his new skateboard. Now that he can practice his tricks while listening to Avril Lavigne, he’s finally working up the courage to head down to the skate park. We’re all cheering you on, little pup, even though the hoodie look is so 2003!
With a smile on his face and his favorite hoodie, we’re sure that Chevy will do a grind, or a wheelie, or… We don’t really know the skater lingo, but we’re confident that he’ll do great, learn some new tricks, and have a lot of fun.
Best Puppy Dog Awws
It’s impossible to resist Huxley’s puppy dog eyes. Since the picture is a close-up, we can’t see what this pooch desires. As far as we can tell, it must be something glorious, as he expresses that want with his beckoning eyes. Maybe he just wants to give you a cuddle!
Is it a dog treat? A trip to the park? Is it tickets to the next dog show? Is it a prized family possession passed down through the generations? Whatever it is, please just give it to Huxley. His puppy dog eyes are making our hearts melt.
Silver Hair
We all know that silver hair is trending right now, with celebrities like Andie MacDowell and Sarah Jessica Parker rocking their natural hair color. Maybe it was even this cute pup that started the movement!
Only haters would say that this doggo’s fur is white or gray – and who could ever hate such an adorable pet? Maui is rocking that silver, and inspiring us to skip the hairdresser and let our own silver shine through!
Leveling Up
Mila is leveling up in life, and her powerful new teeth are proof! It’s kind of like when a superhero discovers a new layer to their power. Mila is now even stronger than before – just look at her tug at that pillow!
The best part about this for her is that she can now have a larger variety of doggy treats and chew toys. Get ready to enjoy a whole new world of flavors, Mila!
Shadow Self
This adorable image kind of reminds us of that meme with three Spidermans who are all pointing at each other, realizing they’re the same. Bonus points to anyone who’s seen the photo of the actors recreating the meme in real life.
Poor Patsy is extremely confused by the imprint she’s left, and we don’t blame her! The ability to duplicate oneself is a scary power indeed. Just remember, Patsy, that with great power, comes great responsibility.
Smiling Selfie
We love a picture of pups that strongly follow human photo trends. It’s rather amusing seeing the expression across Barron’s face as he snaps a picture of his sleeping pup.
We’ve all had a father that thought this exact picture was the funniest thing in the world. Eventually, this young puppy will follow in his father’s footsteps. The mystery is how did Barron learn to use a smartphone?
All Bundled Pup
This bundled-up pooch is ready for the cold. Need your driveway shoveled? Scooter’s the right dog to help. We don’t know how she’ll manage a big shovel, but we’re hoping she’s got a Scooter-sized shovel of her own. This cute pup can stay warm all day.
With all that winter wear on, it’s a wonder how she’ll make it through the thick snow. We’re sure after a cup of cocoa and a ponder, she’ll figure out just the right trick to get herself over to clear your driveway. Maybe a tunnel?
Winter W-aww-nderland
Seeing how attentive Ruckus is to all the decorations lighting up the neighbor’s house is inspiring. We imagine this festival dog helps hang the ornaments, plug in the lights, and decorate the rest of the house with as many multi-colored lightbulbs as he can find.
Borrowing ideas from the neighbors, the faithful dog probably adds his own touch of flair with bone-shaped ornaments, a Doggy Santa Claus, and enough doggy treats to accompany the cookies, milk, and carrots. There’s no coal in Ruckus’ future.
Guided Tour of the City
As any resident or visitor of a major city can tell you, taxis, buses, and subways are so much more expensive than in smaller towns. Commuting across town can be a struggle as you’re cramped between locals and tourists alike.
It’s impressive that Donut not only gets away with free transportation but also a guided tour. This lucky dog is living the high life as he looks back with a smile from the comforts of his padded backpack. Donut, please share your secret; who’s your travel agent?
Professor Pooch
Starting the semester with a dog at the head of the class might generate a few chuckles and some whispers between students. The smiles and laughs quickly evaporate as Professor Pooch asks for quiet in class so the lesson can begin.
How did this dog manage to stand before this group of students? I imagine he studied really hard, impressed the dean, and earned the respect of his peers. Don’t be fooled by his smile, he doesn’t believe Beau actually ate his notes.
Pink Flower and Pure Bliss
Please direct your attention to the picture of Gracie. This is the perfect example of not having a care in the world and being truly at peace in life. Gracie demonstrates to all her adoring fans how simple happiness can be achieved.
Step one, find yourself the prettiest, tiniest flower in the park. Step two, place it on your head. Step three, pose for the camera. Step four… Step five, achieve inner peace. Of course, we haven’t figured out step four yet — we’re waiting for Gracie to text us back.
Home on the Range
This gruff-looking pup has taken time out of his busy day wrangling cattle to pose for a picture. He gained his notoriety around the ranch by being excellent on a steed and quick with a lasso. Howdy might say, “hey,” but he’s too busy to chat.
Now that he’s in charge of the ranch, he’s got mouthes to feed, cattle to drive, and work to do. He’s been living the ranch life for — oh, wait. We should have said, “Howdy, might say, ‘howdy.’” We can’t believe We missed that.
Always Connected
Sadie and Niki are such a lovable pair. Viewing the pictures of them throughout their life together is an inspiration for everyone. Spending your day connected to someone you cherish in life is a heartwarming sight and a good example to follow.
Whether we stay connected to our parents and siblings, relatives, spouse, children, or friends, seeing Sadie and Niki leading the way is a great reminder to rekindle the spark of good communication and deepen the bond with the loved ones in our lives.
Weekend Drive
Maximilian has led a full life with many accomplishments under his belt. After so many rich experiences, he looked around and decided it was time for a change. He’s decided to splurge and get himself the wheels he’s always dreamed of having.
With his ears flapping in the wind, the sun shining on his face, and the crisp, fresh air in his lungs, this doggy has found a new life exploring the world from his awesome bike.
Golden Root-riever
This helpful dog lends a paw around the garden carrying unwanted roots and weeds. Wagging his tail at the thought of joining his owner in the backyard on a summer day, Max eagerly pitches in to fix up the thriving garden.
It’s always wonderful to see how energetic and content dogs are to spend time doing activities with the family. Although we dislike gardening and getting dirty, it’s a dog’s paradise to spend the day together completing an otherwise mundane chore.
Tiny Hippopotamus
Whether this decision was on purpose or on accident is unclear. What we can gather is that this tiny dog must have visited the zoo at some point or watched a children’s cartoon, seen a hippo, and immediately found a kindred spirit.
This tiny “hippo,” at the last moment, looked back toward the camera and, with a feeling of accomplishment, acknowledged his mission was complete. Whether this is an outside or inside dog will be determined by how long that mud bath lasted and if a clean carpet is involved.
Letting Your Hair Down
Good luck trying to sit comfortably in the front passenger seat. With two dogs weighing you down, this family of four would win the right to choose where they want to park themselves. Your best bet is either driving or sitting behind the driver.
Thankfully, with the dogs wanting to let their hair down, having them play “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” isn’t so bad after all. It’s a catchy song and perfect to play on a summer afternoon. As long as the song isn’t on repeat, everything is fine.
Frozen Doppelganger
It took us a couple of minutes, but we’re sure the real dog is on the left side of this picture. We think. It’s a wonder how talented some dogs can be. Whether gardening, playing cards, or, in this case, making an exact copy of themselves.
This snowman — snowman dog? — snowdog? Yes — This snowdog is nearly as cute as her tiny creator standing proudly beside her masterpiece. Since making this snowdog, Dotty has gone on to create many more ice sculptures. This cute dog has such humble beginnings.
A Candy Empire
This is yet another example of a dog finding a kindred spirit in a different wild animal, the owl. Most likely, this dog wandered into the woods encountering a turtle prior to meeting a wise but rambunctious owl that swallowed this dog’s Tootsie Pop.
Taking a lesson from the owl, this ambitious dog hollowed out a tree, started sleeping during the day, and began collecting Tootsie Pops by the truckloads. After years of building his empire, the dog returned to where it all started and posed for a picture.
Excited to Surf
Having a much better day at the beach than Obi-Wan (the dog from earlier) this seaside pup is soaking in the smell of the salt water, the sound of the waves, and the feeling of a cool breeze.
Hopefully, Obi-Wan can take a page out of this pooch’s book to learn the best ways to enjoy a beachside vacation. Or maybe they could meet up online and schedule a day to enjoy the waves together. Either way, this pup is living the dream.
Summertime Sprawl
Yet another example of a dog knowing the perfect way to relax. This pooch knows the right recipe for a restful day; enjoy the summer breeze on the soft grass under the shade of a massive tree. Sometimes happiness can be so simple.
The only way this could be any better is by gently swaying in a hammock with a cool lemonade in paw. We’re sure this doggo has everything under control by the content look on its face and not a worry in the world.
Floral Arrangement and Smiles
This cutie pie pup is posing for the picture-perfect display. Adorning his soft fur coat is the tiniest, little bitty bowtie and smile for the camera. It’s clear to see that Kalua has definitely taken a few lessons from Blue, our photogenic pup.
Checking our phone now, and Blue still hasn’t responded to our text for camerawork advice. At any rate, Kalua is looking lovely posing in front of this idyllic floral arrangement. The color-matching flower and bowtie make this scene even cuter.
Quiet Contemplation
To beat the cold January temperatures, this wise puppy went indoors to enjoy himself by the cracking fire. While admiring the rhythmic flames, this little pooch thought about life’s difficult questions and wondered what the best way to improve his new year could be.
After a whole winter day spent outdoors in the cold, it’s just lovely resting in front of the warm and comforting flames. We’re just hoping he has enough room next to him for us to join him.
Old Friends, New Hugs
As we grow older, our lives become more complex, and we all take different paths. Meeting new friends, having adventures, and chasing the mailman are all part of growing up. Unfortunately, the paths we take can temporarily separate us from good friends.
Thankfully, for Simba and Cooper, now that the puppies have gotten a clean bill of health, they can meet up again. They now have more free time and can reunite after being apart for so long and rekindle their long friendship.
