Peppy doge chasing its own tail is all of us in 2017

We hear you, little doge. We hear you.

I know you're feeling it too. The current year feels like a marathon where you're expected to sprint with every step. Different, often competing forces pull you in any number of directions each day. And yet, nothing changes. We're spinning around in one place without ever going somewhere.

Kind of like this sweet, confused, little doge.

Enjoy the sight of a Shiba Inu pup fruitlessly lunging at its own tail again and again. It's cute. It's cuddly. It's totally a metaphor for the reality we currently know.

Chase on, little doge. Chase on. You might not ever get your prize, but at least you're woke enough to keep trying.

(You can keep up with this adorable little Shiba right here on Instagram)
