Goofy, silly, and 100% wholesome content in canine form—that’s what you get when you visit the ‘What Kind of Dog is This’ Twitter page. A social media project that started very recently, in April of 2022, the page has grown to nearly a quarter of a million followers in just over half a year.

The secret to their success? It’s simple, really. Dogs, dogs, and more dogs! The page shares heartwarmingly funny photos of doggos in all shapes, sizes, and levels of derpiness. And we can’t get enough of them. And we hope you can’t either.

We really wanted to do something nice for you, Pandas, so we collected some of the very best dog pics to brighten your day. Check out the very best of ‘What Kind of Dog is This’ below and don’t forget to upvote your fave pics (1 upvote = 1 head pat). Got some more space in your heart for some more floofs, snoots, and friendly paws? Check out Bored Panda’s earlier article about the Twitter page right over here.

Hope you’ve packed enough Scooby Snacks (the healthy kind) for everyone!

Deciding to welcome a pet into your life is one of the biggest (and best!) decisions that you’ll ever make. Not only do you have a wonderful friend by your side, you also hold the power to boost practically anyone’s mood.

Have you ever watched your coworkers’ faces light up when you bring your doggo to the office? Have you ever noticed the utter joy on random passersby’s faces when you take your cute pupperino for its daily walks? Dogs are magical and/or potentially sent by heaven to help us get through the toughest of times. (The jury’s still out on cats! But the Canine Council pays us in Scooby Snacks to write stuff like that.)

Everyone decides for themselves whether it’s best to adopt a dog from a local animal shelter or to get a puppy from a breeder. Everyone’s family and home situations, and needs are different, after all.

However, we firmly believe that anyone who opens up their homes to animals in need are everyday superheroes who deserve to get a medal (cheese or gold, you decide).

Kelly DiCicco, from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), previously told Bored Panda about the things that pet owners should keep in mind in terms of adoption.

“It should be expected that you’ll experience lifestyle changes over the course of the pet’s life, such as moving, having children, or getting a new job, so it’s important to consider how you will care for your pet during those changes before you add that pet to your family; many shelters offer various forms of support to answer questions you might have before you adopt, or afterward,” she told us.

“While each shelter is different, pets are generally assessed and then introduced to potential adopters based on the likelihood of compatibility. Every animal is an individual—even those within a specific species or breed—and shelter staff are experts at making matches that work,” the ASPCA explained to Bored Panda.

“If you ultimately determine that now is not the best time to adopt, fostering can allow you to change an animal’s life for the better and is a rewarding experience for those who choose to become caregivers,” Kelly, from the APSCA, said that fostering is always an option.

“We always encourage adopters to keep an open mind and heart when visiting a shelter or rescue; as you may walk out with a pet you’d never considered before, like a senior animal or an animal who looks nothing like what you originally had in mind,” she said.

“Adopting an animal from a shelter or local rescue organization saves more than one life by freeing up space and resources for another animal in need,” the ASPCA explained to us earlier the massive effect that every adoption has.
