Puppies tend to have a way of turning fully grown, totally serious adults into a puddle of putty in their tiny little paws. They don’t even have to try. With their soft, furry, droopy skin and their smooshed faces, to say nothing of their goofy walk, there’s just no resisting the urge to baby them like there’s no tomorrow. When it comes to being adorable, there are very few things in life that can rival an uber-cute puppy.

Don’t believe us? Well, you don’t have to. We’re pretty sure these 20 photos of adorable puppies that are just too cute to handle will change your mind all on their own.

1. The epitome of puppy-eyes

There’s a reason the phrase “puppy-eyes” has become a general expression to describe the cutest face on the planet. Just look at them. Impossible to resist, this is the epitome of the puppy-face. Just try saying ‘no’ to a look like that. Trust us, it ain’t gonna happen.

2. Cadet Cutie Pie reporting for duty

We’re pretty sure that no one this handsome little fella pulls over is gonna get mad about it. Apparently, this cutie was nervous to report for his first day of duty, but we have a feeling it will all go smoothly for him. How could it not with a face like that?

3. The finest flirts bring flowers

This little guy’s on a mission to steal your girl, and something tells us he’s going to succeed. It turns out that chivalry’s not dead, after all. It just shifted species.

4. A model of perfect safety

We’re betting that if people were getting into a car with this cute puppers, they’d be buckling up a whole lot more. Just look at that adorable little doggy smile. And those feet! Who wouldn’t want to take a ride with this pup?

5. And they call it puppy love

This sweet girl’s name is Arya and she just met her forever family. Now she is taking her freedom ride. The look on her face is all the thanks that anyone could ever need.

6. “I think I’ll take my chances”

While it’s true that guard dogs can be great at deterring any would-be burglars, we’re not sure how effective this little fuzzball will be at such a job. What is he supposed to do? Kill them with cuteness? Well, if that’s the case, he might just pull it off.

7. Pure puppy bliss

Some puppies are just too adorable not to share with everyone you know. We can’t help it. Some people brag about their kids, then there are those of us that go equally cuckoo over our doggies.

8. They have a way of reminding you of what’s important

Puppies have a way of shifting our focus to the more important things in life. For instance, scrolling through your phone all night becomes a thing of the past. There’s no time for all that when you’ve got the cutest, cuddliest creature on the planet just begging to have all of your attention, immediately… all of the time. Trust us though, you won’t miss social media a bit.

9. Can you do the Mash Potato?

This little cutie pie has a name that suits his adorable, fluffed up appearance. His name is Mash, last name Potato. Don’t be fooled by his scrumptious sounding name, though. He won’t go down easy.

10. Can’t resist the cuteness!!!

There is an awfully good chance this puppers might actually be a polar bear, but it doesn’t really matter. There’s no way anyone with a beating heart could ever resist the tidal wave of charm this little guy is pushing.

11. They really do exist

The humans thought they were bringing home a living Teddy bear but in reality, they were bringing home an Ewok! Now, this little intergalactic space-walker can kick back and enjoy the adoration of all the earthlings he comes across.

12. A Cocker Spaniel at work

Cocker Spaniels are considered a working breed dog, and it’s no wonder. These dogs are highly intelligent and can perform a multitude of complex tasks. They’re also smart enough to know there’s no need to do all that when they can make their humans do it instead. This, my friends, is what it looks like when a Spaniel is working over his human.

13. Making your escape can be so exhausting

This little puppers was tired of being stuck in his kennel with the rest of the puppies. So, as any pup would, he decided to chew his way out. Unfortunately, he forgot that chewing can be tiring work sometimes and passed out in the process.

14. The fifth paw

This little dude had to fight his way into this world and it looks like he got kicked by one of his siblings on the way out. That’s okay, though. We’re sure it only means he’s marked by destiny for greatness.

15. No such thing as a “bad day”

This pup smiling like a sloth is exactly the reason that everyone should get a puppy. It’s simply impossible to have a bad day when you wake up to an adorable face like that. If you have a hard day at work, all those cares will melt away as soon as you get home to be greeted by this sweet, furry grin.

16. Partners in crime

These two are definitely partners in crime. We aren’t sure they’ll serve too much “time”, though, with adorable faces like that. These two look like they are unrepentant about their puppyhood antics, but the good news is that their human will have the best dog-shaming photo-ops on the planet.

17. Making the bed

This image shows us a whole new meaning to making the bed. Puppies don’t need a bunch of blankets and pillows, though those are nice too. They just need a nice, fresh patch of earth to dig at until their little paws are all tuckered out.

18. Pupper pigtails

Move over Pippy, there’s a new pigtail promoter in town and she’s taking over. Is there anyone that could ever resist this cutie with her fluffy, white pigtails? No. No there isn’t.

19. The cutest, cuddliest pup in the world

If you’re in need of something fuzzy and full of love to snuggle on, an Akita pup will meet all those needs and more. The fluffy critters are all about their humans and will eat up every minute of your spare time. Fair warning; your face will hurt from having an enormous grin plastered on it at all times.

20. One pile of puppies, please

If, for some strange, unfathomable reason, one puppy isn’t enough to cure your run of the mill blues, don’t worry. For acute cases, sometimes it is best to up the dosage of puppy love from one pup to one adorable, wrinkly pile of puppies!
