Vet sends owner the most adorable photo of very good dog after his surgery

Everyone, at some point, has tried to imagine what dogs would say if they could talk.

Maybe one day some beautiful brainiac will invent a piece of technology that makes that distant dream a reality, but in the meantime all we have are our imaginations.

Well, that and whiteboards:

According to Reddit user u/Emakten, who shared the photo in r/aww on Monday night, Rocco is a nine month-old Yellow Lab/Australian Shepherd cross. He'd been to see the vet to get chipped and neutered.

With 72,000 upvotes in less than 10 hours, Rocco is clearly as much of a popular boy as he is a very good boy.
