If you’re ever feeling sorry for yourself, take a moment to consider the people who are allergic to dogs. Things can always be worse. Sure, they might be able to hang out with those hairless guys, who deserve love too, but having to limit the amount of doggage in your life would be a serious bummer. Imagine not being able to go up to random dogs on the street and ask to pet them. Imagine going to a party and not immediately making friends with the dog there. Imagine never being able to keep one in your house. 

The folks condemned to this suffering are brave indeed. But you know what they can enjoy sneeze-free? These memes. Though they’re not the real, living, breathing thing, they approximate the joy of being near a pup and soaking in all of their joy. And for those of us unburdened by allergies, porque no los dos?
