Thanks to the internet you don't have to own a cat or dog to get some of the benefits of pet ownership, all you have to do is watch videos and look at pics of pets posted online and your happiness is assured.
Owning a dog means cleaning up poop, fur and drool, and it costs money to feed those ungrateful mutts and keep them flea and tick free, which is why internet users prefer vicarious doggo ownership three to one to the real thing.
That's not to say owning a dog is all bad, but you've gotta put those lazy pooches to work or they'll become even lazier.
So shoot some pics of your dog and meme-ify them like these people did and your dog will become an internet ambassador of happiness plus, if you're lucky, internet famous!
