When life gets you down, a great way to lift your spirits is by looking at pictures of adorable animals. Most often, animals are cute without even trying, and some of the pictures people catch of them are priceless. It might even make you wonder if animals do some of the things they do on purpose, just to make you feel better.
Pictures of animals don’t stop at their sometimes-hilarious reactions to situations. You can also find pictures of animals all dressed up. And while dressing them up certainly does not cause them any harm, it doesn’t sit well with some pets, causing an often funny reaction.
It doesn’t matter if you are sad from your job, a fight with a friend, or troubles at home, pictures of cute animals are often just the thing you need to cheer you up. So, the next time you feel down, check out these animal photos that are guaranteed to make you smile.
1) Just Reading the Paper
It seems that this dog was interrupted while reading his daily paper. What does a poor dog have to do to read the latest news uninterrupted? It’s not like he can take the paper in the bathroom and read it in peace.
This little mouse obviously has high aspirations to one day become a great photographer. I just hope he has a good eye for taking photos. Now, if he could just figure out how to focus the camera. I mean, what would a mouse even take a picture of? Cheese?
Check out this cute, little pup enjoying the air from the grate below. She’s almost like a miniature Marilyn Monroe, except without the looks and the white dress of course. Though, one could argue about the looks department.
Check out this little piggy from China. She better be careful or she’ll end up as a pot sticker. Here she is strutting around with not a care in the world. Who am I kidding? She is just too cute for words … and to end up as someone’s meal.
So, what do you do with a bunch of Golden Retriever pups? Why, place them in a car and take them for a ride of course. Hopefully, they behave while you are driving, because it looks like that situation could get out of control quickly. There are more puppies than you have hands!
This little puppy has found himself behind bars, but what did he do to deserve such a fate? Maybe it’s because he is too cute and adorable. It looks like he is taking it all in stride, though, or at least in his cute, little jaws.
This dog really looks like he loves the water, forget that he has only three legs. Maybe this is his first time there, or maybe he just likes to get wet. Regardless, it is nice to see such a happy reaction to something as simple as water.
It would seem this little kitty has a taste for sushi. Is it the tuna? Or maybe it is something else. All she wants to do is have a little taste, or lick in this case, of each piece. Better yet, maybe she only wants a roll to call her own. Something with salmon maybe?
This kitty obviously loves to ride in the car. Not only does she get to see new things, she also gets to go to whatever location her owner is traveling. Hopefully, it is not a trip to the vet, though, as that could tone down her exuberance for such future rides.
It seems this little puppy snuck along for the ride in a box in the car. Imagine his owner’s surprise when he popped up to say hello. He looks so happy, though, so I don’t know see how the owner could be mad at the little fellow.
11) Here, Have Some Flowers
This little guy knows what a bad day you have had, and he decided to bring you some flowers. Never mind that those aren’t flowers but weeds. How is a dog to know the difference, they’re color blind? It’s the thought that counts in the end.
Maybe this whale thought that the colorful hood this little girl was wearing was a piece of candy. Obviously, in its haste it forgot that the glass was there. Then again, the whale could just be saying hello.
Don’t these two look as snug as bugs all tucked into their bed with their matching jammies. I bet they are brothers who do everything together, such as run through the woods, play, and get into all kinds of messes.
These two look so happy together, even if they are of two different species. I wonder if they even notice that they look different or only see each other through the love they obviously have for each other. We could all learn a lesson from this.
Poor kitty, stuck in the pool with no way out. I wonder if this was a misstep on her part or if her owner placed her purposely in her precarious situation? Hopefully, she was rescued soon after this picture was taken.
I hope this dog realizes the predicament he is in. He is in for a rude awakening if he is not. I have a feeling when that balloon pops, he will have more than hurt feelings to worry about. But let him have his fun while he can.
This cat has some wild ideas on how she can go on vacation with her owner. Here she is showing her owner how easy it will be for her to go along with no problems. By the presence of the tablet beside her, it even looks like she has a plan for entertainment while on the journey.
It’s hard to tell what these two cats are up to with this pig. By the looks of that cat on the left, that little piggy might be in trouble. I guess the biggest question that could help settle the matter is … do cats like bacon?
Hey look, it’s your friendly neighborhood dog here to cheer you up. He’s such a good dog, as he always has a smile for you no matter what the situation. All that he asks for in return is a little petting.
These two buddies look like they are all set to have some bath-time fun. But first, they need to make sure they don’t get their hair wet. That guy on the right looks like a total joker. I wonder if their names are Lucy and Ethel?
Some people, and dogs, have the hardest time getting out of bed in the morning. In this picture, this dog seems to just now be crawling out of bed. I wonder if he realizes it is 3 in the afternoon?
This must be that same dog all wrapped up comfortably in his covers. Either that, or it is a dog burrito. Looks like he is having such happy dreams, though. Shhh, don’t wake him; he needs his beauty rest.
I’m still trying to figure this one out. Is the toddler mimicking the dog, or is the dog mimicking him? And what is up with that picture of Homer Simpson above the couch? Maybe they are both trying to mimic Homer.
Just some bunnies going on a cruise in their convertible. The two in the front seem like they know what they are doing, though the bunny in the back seems a little out of sorts. Hey, quiet down in the back! Crazy backseat drivers.
What in the world is going on with this dog’s tail. Either he is very happy to see someone or somebody attached a helicopter blade to his back end. He doesn’t seem to mind, though. Just a dog going about his day … never mind what is going on back there.
Why does this dog look like a parent who is waiting up for their child to get home? Either that or he is one of the most chill dogs ever. I wonder if he was a dad in another life?
Most of the time you don’t want to get bit by a dog. This little guy seems to have the concept all wrong. Instead of biting, he nibbles. Hardly the ferocious dog he always dreamed about growing up to be. Maybe someday.
How do you get on this dog’s good side? By spinning a wire whisk on his head, of course. By the look on his face, it is obviously hitting the spot. I wonder what other kitchen utensils his owner uses when petting him?
29) When You Meet Your Idol
This dog is as happy as he can be. He has always idolized Pluto. So, when he got the chance to get his picture taken with his hero, he was all smiles. I just hope he never finds out that there is a person in that suit. Talk about shattered dreams.
All railroad captains have to wear their railroad captain hats, even dogs. This dog must be waiting for his train to arrive. I wonder if the engineers let him blow the whistle? I also wonder if all the dogs for miles around respond when he pulls the cord?
Check out this little guy. He is cute as a button from the front, but just wait until he swings around. That’s it, show me that tush! I’m curious if he feels bad for pandering to the crowd or if he just loves the attention it gets him?
I’m sorry but I can’t take this little pug and her pink knit sweater. And the pearls; talk about adorable. Can you imagine the thoughts going through her head? Why am I dressed like this? Do my owners even know I am a boy?
This dog seems so happy to see his owner. This despite the fact that she only stepped out to the car for a minute. But like a typical dog, he gets overly dramatic whenever his owner leaves his sight.
What happens when your dogs are a little snobbish? These three pups look like they want none of it. It’s almost like they are saying, “Dry dog food?” We will have nothing but table scraps. What do we look like, some common breed of dog?
Even animals such as a walrus are allowed to be happy. This one looks like he is having a grand old time laying on the beach and living his best life. Maybe one of his walrus friends cracked a funny walrus joke.
These two dog buddies assured me they had no problem sharing the tennis ball. It would seem that by sharing they meant both holding onto it at one time. My question is, what happens when you throw the ball? Do, they bring it back to you with both of them holding it?
It seems like the one dog is a true lover of an open car window and the air in his face. His dog friend, though, seems to be taking it all in stride. It makes you wonder which dog is living his best life. My money is on the dog in the back.
This dog’s costume gets my seal of approval. Poor pup probably has no clue as to how silly he looks. He probably is wondering why everyone keeps laughing and keeps asking him to bark like a seal. Clap once for yes and twice for no.
This dog has a weird way of letting his owner know he wants to play fetch. He finds the biggest stick in the yard and then stands in the doorway until his owner acknowledges him. Though his owner would have to be pretty strong to throw that tree branch around.
There are few things as cute as a kitty in the bath. Look at that little hat. I assume it is a shower cap of some sort. And that face, so cute. It seems this cat, named Snoopy, is an Internet sensation, especially in his native China.
What are the chances of catching a photo like this, a frog riding on the back of a bug? This photo, by wildlife photographer Hendy MP, was captured at his home in Indonesia. Check out his account on

42) Stealing Picnic Baskets
It seems this bear was caught in the act of trying to steal some picnic baskets from area campers. Fortunately, he is smarter than your average bear. Though I have no clue if he has ever successfully pulled off one of his picnic basket thefts.
What does this cat find so funny? Is he just getting a joke told by his friend? Maybe he should focus on the present and get his butt out of the street before he gets run over. At least if he does get hit he’ll be laughing when he dies.
We knew it was only a matter of time before cats started taking their own selfies, which makes me wonder what kind of other photos a cat would take. Probably just photos of them laying around talking about how they just woke up looking naturally beautiful.
Ah, true love. Which is what it looks like this lucky couple has found. Little do they know of the troubles ahead. First, they’ll both have to get better jobs; then come kids and a house, and eventually worsening finances. Enjoy it while you can you two; it’s not going to get any better than this.
This fox is currently in training for the fox jump, which is a contest to see how far a fox can jump head first into the snow. It seems that this fox has figured out the best form for such jumps … head down, legs back, and tail out.
I’m curious as to what this little guy finds so funny. Maybe he’s ticklish and the flowers are tickling his tummy? Or, maybe he is just happy to be alive. Either way, it sure looks like happy days ahead, unless of course he comes across a cat.
This is Fred the Frog, frog hokey pokey champion. Let’s listen in while he practices for his next competition. You put your left leg in, you put your left leg out, you do the hokey pokey, and you shake it all about.
This group of sea rays are all smiles as they hang out with their diver buddy. The fish, on the other hand, came into the conversation a little late. It seems by the look on his face that he didn’t get the joke.
If you think you’ve had a bad day, just take a look at this poor guy. Not only did this bird take a crap on his head, but he has no way to wipe it off. Now, he has to walk around all the time with bird crap on his head. Such is the life of a wildebeest.
