As the proud owner of a 100-pound Black Labrador Retriever named Yogi, I often find myself scrolling through pup-related hashtags on Instagram when I’m having a bad day. There’s just something about a lab’s disposition that makes you want to instantly snuggle with them or head into the backyard for a game of fetch. Rather than keeping the joy of seeing a bunch of little cuties to myself, I opted to share these good vibes with the world at large. Scroll ahead to get a peek at some impossibly sweet photos of black, brown, and yellow labs, and try not to run to your nearest shelter to get one of your own!
