Family getting you down? Check out these dogs watching the National Dog Show.

Thanks, pups. We needed this.

Thanksgiving isn't always the best of times for everyone. Most of our families can be, at best, difficult occasionally.

Some would say that's the reason why the National Dog Show exists. But those people haven't seen dogs watching the National Dog Show.

Because it's much better. It must be like the Olympics for dogs.

Many, many people noticed their dogs watching right along with them as the best of their species competed at the national level. And the real MVPs shared pictures to Twitter so we could all witness their joy and feel better about the world.

Thanks pups. You make everything better.

I have done neat stuff all over these United States from sailing lessons on the Puget Sound to motorcycle maintenance on the backroads of upstate New York. My professional experience extends from newspaper reporting in the mountains of Eastern Oregon to fixing espresso machines throughout Kentucky. I also have kept a cat alive for 10 years.
