Fact: Good dogs are great dogs. It's just the way it is. It's science.

But we think we've found the greatest of all the good dogs. A dog so grateful that we wish we could shower it with all the treats and presents and kisses it truly deserves.

But doesn't ask for.

Because it is a very good dog.

Twitter user pae❁ posted these photos of her pup that received a gift that maybe wasn't exactly the most exciting present. But this very good pup is eternally grateful regardless:

Clearly, this doggie is way too fluffy and big for this extra small dog bed, but it doesn't care. It was given a gift and a gift it shall be.

This is the face of a pup that's trying extra hard to make a gift work and show some appreciation, just like you do when you're inappropriately given underwear for Christmas.

Other Twitter users instantly fell in love with the good dog because, honestly, who wouldn't?

We agree. Long live this very, very good pup.
