Having a hard week? Here, have some puppies

In this, the golden age of digital media, few things have the power of the puppy when it comes to attracting eyeballs. One need only poke around the Buzzfeed archives – a site that has literally developed the science behind attracting eyeballs online – for  evidence of this phenomenon. 

You’ll find headlines like, “29 Puppies Who Are Far Too Cute For This World,” “27 Puppies Who Are Too Cute To Be Real,” and “42 Of The Most Important Puppies Of All Time.” In fact, a search on Google for pages on Buzzfeed.com containing the word “puppies” yields 56,900 results. 

Now, for many sites, puppies are a means to an end. You get people in the door with pictures of adorable puppies, and then try to use them as some sort of visual aide to explain what term life insurance is or what kind of bacon to eat. But that’s not our game. This slideshow is just about the puppies. There are no ulterior motives and we’re not posting this for any particular reason (apart from page views and injecting more cuteness in the world). 

So, with that, we present the 17 cutest puppies we could find, courtesy of one of our stock photo providers, DepositPhotos.com. 

(Please note that along with the puppies, we’ve included an appropriate phrase. These are the kinds of things someone – like maybe my 10 year old daughter – might say to these puppies upon seeing them.)

And by all means, if you love puppies and don’t have one or many already, please consider adopting a puppy – or any age dog, for that matter – from your local shelter or adoption agency.
