40 Dog GIFs That Completely Crack Us Up
We love unleashing the gift of laughter, especially when that ‘gift’ is in the form of GIFs – dog GIFs, to be exact. But what is it about these canine animated snippets that makes them so shareable and popular?
Take one part dog appeal, another part animated/movement, and combine those with the ease of sharing and the smile-inducing outcome, and that’s why they are so embedded in our modern pet culture.
GIFs (short for graphics interchange format) were invented by the late Stephen Wilhite back in 1987. Wilhite was working for an online service provider called CompuServe and received an assignment that produced the GIF.
Fast forward to today, and the GIF has become a cultural phenomenon. We went digging and discovered 40 dog GIFs that made us LOL. Enjoy this healthy dose of canine joy.
