Puppy Snuggles
The dog that saved my life
Tw, suicide We adopted him one day and he was terrified. So terrified that he just stared at the wall for hours. But eventually, he started to open up. Once he got used to us, my brother developed mental health problems and decided to return him. I was heartbroken. And we got into a massive argument 5-6 months later, fast forward a couple months im very my depression was at an all time high. And I was seruously about to kill my self. I was pretty Close to as well. I was climbing down on the tra

The Westminster Best in Show winner Penny is my dog’s aunt!
I texted the breeder I bought my Doberman from (we text and stay in contact which is wonderful) and asked her if she had watched the Westminster dog show. She ended up texting me back that Penny is my dog Cooper’s aunt. I’ve seen dog shows before and of course watched this one because of Penny, but it seems the Doberman community is a small world! Just thought it was a fun coincidence worth sharing. Anyone else discover unexpected connections to famous dogs?   submitted by   /u/A
My happy 3-legged little guy!
Just sharing one of the loves of my life to bring some happiness amongst all of the sadness of today. This is my Zen, who was born with three legs in 2022. He is very smart and understands that he is different from other dogs, but he has never let this slow him down. Occasionally, he flashes a toothy grin my way (like in pic four) and I am reduced to hysterical laughter. He is the best little guy and I am so lucky to have him!   submitted by   /u/InMyRestlessDreams23   to &#
Let's post HAPPY DOG PICS to negate all the damn sadness this sub is bringing lately!
Join me in celebrating the lives of our loved ones now instead of at the end of their short lives!! No offense to all the people who are losing their loved ones - I really am so sorry for your loss. But there has been an excess of "rainbow bridge" posts lately and I've noticed other people agree with the fact that this sub has been a big bummer and just scroll right past because it's just too sad... Im response, I am recommending that we start posting HAPPY dog pictures;
Goodbye to my best friend.
Mini was my dog for about 9 years. She was always sweet and playful, but lazy when you wanted to be lazy. She would cuddle up next to you or lay on your feet. She was my little shadow. August of 2025 she was diagnosed with a low grade mast cell tumor. We had two surgeries and a long recovery for her. We were optimistic...until we noticed another mass growing on the inner thigh where she had her original tumor. Many very visits later, an infection in that leg and a lot of struggling we we
This is a picture of my very alive dog lounging next to the squirt bottle used to keep him off the table.

Seconded about this sub has become the 'crossing the rainbow bridge' sub
Please, I am pleading. There are already not many popular dog subs that we can post pictures of our doggos, it's so so so depressing in here. All the top posts today are all about death except one. It makes me feel so bad every time I see the rainbow emoji on the post title, breaking my heart reading all the comments about story of lossess. I am so sorry for your loss but imagine you are having a good day at the park and some stranger stop you to tell you about their grandma's fune
Why has this sub become about pet loss? There is a sub for it…r/petloss
Attached a photo of my dog so this can be posted. Look, I’m not trying to be a curmudgeon; I personally lost 2 dogs to cancer in the last 2 years. It’s horrible and I send my condolences to all of you. But every post in this sub is depressing now. The “hot” posts are 7 posts in a row about someone’s recently deceased pet. Can we move those posts over to r/petloss? Again, I’m not trying to be mean but there is a sub for those posts.   submitted by   /u/Ok-Location-6472   to
Said goodbye to my best friend
Dakota passed on Jan 3, 2026 at the age of 13. I’ve had her since she was 8 weeks old and has been by my side for countless milestones, good and bad. I’ve been struggling since she passed and I’m thankful she was able to pass comfortably in her own bed. Hug yours close for Koda.   submitted by   /u/KodaInThaCity   to   r/DOG [link]   [comments]
The way my dog lets me know she needs to go potty.

Update on our new puppy
Got a new puppy in early December, growing quicker then I could imagine, and just wanted to share. Is getting along fantastically with our lab who usually does not like puppies. Meet Barley & Lilly   submitted by   /u/Delicious_Emu_7773   to   r/DOG [link]   [comments]
Daisy, She was special ❤️
Daisy's life started out hard. She was in a hoarder situation and kept in a cage with a lot of other puppies. She was rescued by North shore Animal League where we adopted her in 2011. We quickly learned she had food issues and did not react well to fast movement; not the best combination when you have a 4 year old and a 1 year old. When my son was 2, he was running around and she nipped his head. Hard! My immediate response was we need to rehome her; my wife said we failed her. My wi

Nikko crossed the rainbow bridge this morning.
He was almost 17 years old but things just got really bad and would only get worse. He’s the first dog I had to make this decision for and it was a terribly hard one to make. I still feel guilty or like I could have waited but I know in my heart of hearts, this was the right decision. I had Nikko since I was 12 and I am now 28. Man.. does it get easier to go on? I’m struggling so hard.   submitted by   /u/holocultic   to   r/dogpictures [link]   [comments]
My girl has crossed the rainbow bridge and I want everyone to see her.
In her 16th year, just before midnight at home in her dad’s arms our sweet Ruby went to sleep for the last time. Always defying the odds with stubborn resilience, she never backed down from a fight. In 2022 she beat cancer, in 2023 she was diagnosed with a heart condition and given 6 months to live and she said “hold my dad’s beer”. That same year she got her very own summer home at Willow Lake where she stole the hearts of so many people that we now call family. Ruby was loved by so many
His name was Saturn, and we were so lucky to have him in our life.
