11 tweets from 'I've Pet That Dog' that will make you whole again

Let these tweets warm your icy heart.

Forget Shark Week, it’s Bark Week on Mashable. Join us as we celebrate all the good dogs, which we humans do not deserve.

Terrible tweets and trolls are ubiquitous at this point. But through the muck and the mire there is one shining beacon of goodness: I've Pet That Dog.

If you're not already following I've Pet That Dog's Twitter account, I feel sorry for you -- I really do -- because I've Pet That Dog is the daily dose of pure joy everyone needs.

Gideon Kidd, the 9-year-old curator of the account, generously shares pictures of all the dogs he pets, along with charming anecdotes and observations of each good dog.

We've fawned over Kidd's account before, but we've decided to create a round up of our favorite pettings. These are the best tweets from I've Pet That Dog in no particular order because you can't compare these pure-hearted canines. It just wouldn't be right.

1. Peter, who is either the "dumbest" or "smartest" dog in the world

We'd happily accept a lick from Peter regardless of where he falls on the IQ spectrum.

2. Precious, the human trapped in a dachshund's body

Precious and her stuffed owl are just more proof that opposites attract. Well, sort of.

3. Summer, the "crazy" farm dog

A kiss on the face sounds nice, we'll pass on the gnawing.

4. All of the service and companion dogs from Retrieving Freedom, Inc.

One of the best things about I've Pet That Dog is the attention it brings to the emotional support that dogs can provide to those in need, like veterans or children with autism.

5. Lady, the head tilter

Just look at that fluffy coat!

6. Stella, the caregiver

No YOU'RE crying.

7. Bruno, the cream colored hot dog

A beautiful transformation.

8. Judah, lover of people treats

Same, Judah. Same.

9. Wally, an extremely "gassy dude"

No one's perfect, Wally.

10. Luna and her screech

You can hear Luna's adorable screech here.

11. Jasper, eater of walls

Nothing like a little mischief and wall eating to keep owners on their toes.
