‘Dogspotting’ Is A Group Where People Share Only The Best, Unexpected Encounters With Dogs (132 New Pics)

Is there such a thing as too many dogs? Here at Bored Panda, we believe that the answer is a very hearty ‘no!’ Hilarious and quirky photos of dogs and cats, delicious food pics, and fabulous examples of art, photography, and crafts… these are all things that we firmly believe the world needs more of. And there’s nothing like a host of funny and cute dog pics to boost your mood and help you through the workweek! The weekend is a dozen nose-boops and doggo snuggles away.

That’s where the super-popular Dogspotting group over on Facebook comes in. A community with over 1.8 million members, Dogspotting is dedicated to spotting, photographing, and sharing photos of random dogs. It’s also “a fun place to hang out with friends who enjoy dogs.” Frankly, it sounds like heaven.

Have a scroll through some of the most heartwarming, wholesome, and hilarious photos of our canine buddies, as featured on the Dogspotting group, and don’t forget to upvote the pics that you liked the most. We’d love to hear which of these dogs you’d love to bring home with you if you could so drop us a line in the comments. Oh, and when you’re done with this list, check out our earlier article about Dogspotting right over here.

I previously had a couple of friendly chats with the incredibly friendly team behind the Dogspotting group. The entire Dogspotting project is far bigger than you might think at first glance. You’ve got the Dogspotting Society, Dogspotting Media, and even Dogspotting Court pages to round out the entire community.

It’s all very orderly and you’ll quickly realize just how much effort is put in on a regular basis to keep the entire project flowing smoothly.

The Dogspotting team previously told Bored Panda that their community members are incredibly proactive. They’re responsible for the fun challenges like #‎didntwantadogchallenge‬ and #HiddenDogChallenge that you’ll find on the page.

"I think it’s a common experience when you’re in a household of many to have one person who might not be as excited as the others. But dogs usually find a way to melt those hearts pretty quickly. And as we’ve seen on the page, it happens a lot!" one of the page’s representatives told Bored Panda earlier that even people who don’t really want a dog eventually grow to love the dashing pup who rolled their way into their lives.

The representative of the Dogspotting team urged people to adopt a dog. Especially if you find yourself working from home. "Now is a great time to do it! With so many people working from home, you’ll have more time to bond with your new best friend! Contact local animal rescues and shelters in your area and they’ll be able to help you! We know this year has been very difficult for a lot of our members and the challenges have added a bit of levity for everyone,” they shared with us earlier.

It honestly felt like the universe blessing our marriage.
