#1 Carl the Samoyed

This puffball is so irresistibly cute, we put him on the cover! Carl the Sammy’s coat is so fluffy, he may just be part cloud, but don’t think this Samoyed is afraid to get his snow-white-self dirty romping with his pals. Most of Carl’s videos come with hilarious translations from his owner Lauren (@loandthecosmos) so you’re never left wondering what’s on Carl’s mind. Sample post: “Remember when I was just a smol shoob and borked at everything? Oh wait, I still do bork at everything.” Relatable AND adorable!

Though these gloriously grumpy-looking smooth coat Brussels Griffon brothers are actually seven years apart, they couldn’t be any closer. Named after punk rocker Glenn Danzig, this pair bonds over making mischief—but when they’re all tuckered out, they love to nap in their adorable ‘inbox’ office beds.

This mixed breed cutie will brighten your day with vibrant photos of her adventures and—more importantly—treats about to be devoured. A true southern Californian, Lexi is a ray of sunshine who is all about colourful backgrounds and tasty snacks. This pup knows what it’s all about! Life lessons here, folks.
