Top Dogs of 2017
(be sure to click *display images*)
In 2017 dogs were, per usual, hilarious floofs, subway riders, and heroes. But they were also political candidates, protestors, deserters from government jobs, and crashers of "polite" events. They're clearly sick of us humans and have decided to take matters into their own paws. Here are the top dogs of 2017.
"It me." - everyone
10. The CIA tried to recruit Lulu, but she said "fuck that."

Random closing thoughts: In this circle of life, may you find time to gather with friends and loved ones and enjoy a rich inner life. If you're feeling low, there's always exercise, or the Dog Show. Close your eyes and imagine this ghostly spirit, or a horse. Shout out to Sondheim's poodle and the pups of BuzzFeed Canada. (Damn, I really miss Vine.) You got this.
Anyway, Rosey is here to bless your 2018, which happens to be the year of the dog. Happy new year.
