Dogs are already pretty damn cute overall – so when someone goes out of their way to make them even cuter, it's a good day.

Semba, a.ka. Myouonnin on Twitter, makes awesome cardboard cutouts that perfectly fit her adorable puppy with adorable and hilarious results.

Semba and her puppy, named Chihuahua-mametaro, live together in Japan. There, they make all of us happy.

"The reason I started this project is that there was a lot of corrugated cardboard from Amazon," Semba wrote to Mashable, via a translation.

"When I see a fascinating movie, go to an art museum, see an animation [or] a manga that inspires me, I feel like covering him."

"He's a wise dog. He is imperturbable, quiet and cooperative. He's friendly towards everyone," Semba told Mashable.

"If you see and enjoy his picture, we're happy."

Here are some more photos of Chihuahua-mametaro wearing Semba's awesome designs.
