No matter how bad 2020 was, we can at least take comfort in its very good dogs.

Famed dog rating Twitter account WeRateDogs has compiled the most wholesome 2020 recap imaginable, looking back at this past year through the trusting eyes of our fluffy canine companions. From koala savior Bear to incoming First Dogs Champ and Major, the six-minute video set to Novo Amor's "Carry You" is a gentle look at a rough year and the dogs that stayed by us through it all.

The Australian bushfires, coronavirus lockdowns, police brutality protests, and an extremely tense U.S. election made 2020 seem like a freight train of nightmares with no breaks. Yet our loyal pets reminded us that there is still a great deal of good in the world, becoming home office helpers, fluffy meteorologists, and protesters against racism — as well as continuing to uphold the age-old canine tradition of invading sport fields.

In a year where so much has changed, it's reassuring to know some things remain the same.
