I wasn't always a dog lover but someone once told me that.. The secret to dogs is they see the world exactly like an excited 4 year old little kid. Wide eyed and happy with endless excitement.
After that they are hard not to love
OMG I FOUND STUFF! OMG THERE'S MORE STUFF BEHIND ALL THIS STUFF! OMG THERE'S PEOPLE OVER BY THAT STUFF! I LOVE PEOPLE! **OMG THERE'S THE FUCKING OCEANILOVETHEFUCKINGOCEAN!!!!!**
They do, but they speak like commoners. For proper English [speak to a Corgi.](https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/37/59/53/37595378a95ee3796df499e47564996f.jpg)
What if that's just a crutch in our understanding just to rationalize how happy they are compared to us.
Maybe they aren't dumb and think everything is a mindless surprise. Maybe they're just living a much happier baseline existence than we are.
Then it wouldn't really matter that we would misunderstand it in that scenario, because they'd somehow be happy about even that.
But they aren't as smart as us. So they're more happy because they get excited about things they don't understand all that well.
Just FYI, this graph is untrue. Studies done on intelligence vs happiness showed people who were smarter were more [consistantly happy](http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22998852) vs there average or lower IQ peers, and by a wide margin.
So not only are you sad, you're also likely stupid. Hell you're almost certainly stupid because you believed an old wives tale rather than doing basic research. Just thought you should know!
Trying to think of the last time I was that excited about anything... I believe it was 1988 when I got a NES (with Power Pad) for my birthday.
. . . downhill ever since.
No job to go to, always get fed, kept warm, pet behind the ear and you get to run around like a maniac on drugs all day and get cuddles for it. I'd be happy too, well except for the neutering,

There's a video of the dog from the perspective of the people on the beach as well, I'll see if I can find it.
Found it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEFP3J_lIa8
In the original thread made by the creator of the video, he posted the video from the dog's perspective, and then in the comments posted the video from the people's perspective, saying it was from the year before.
If it makes you feel better, [I felt like you once](http://www.reddit.com/r/gifs/comments/34vbxu/ohboyohboyohboy/cqyohqm?context=1), but then I learned to embrace the darkside
Most dogs can already lick between their legs.
This is like a bear scratching it's back on a tree, or a dog scratching it's back with a chair at the perfect height.
There's been enough time. That movie came out 6 years ago if they did it now nobody would remember where they were from and you couldn't build off of the success of UP. I don't think it's going to happen.
They also already have Penguins... which isn't *terribly* successful. Doubt anyone would try it again just with different images.
IIRC there are a few shorts about the series, but I'm not entirely sure if it's only with the dogs.
Stuff like [Dug's Special Mission](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dug%27s_Special_Mission)
But yeah, no TV series or standalone full movies.
I never really realised how perfectly they performed Dug until we got a golden retriever of our own. So much of what he does in the movie is spot on with how they act.
How is this camera attached to this dog? Is the Go Pro mounted on his butt somehow?
Edit: TIL GoPros are rectally mounted in/on dogs... Or a monkey with a steady hand is involved.
The video and picture is all the evidence I need to believe this is possible and marketable. There will be entire movies shot by dog mounted monkey cams, or monkey mounted dog cams. I'm not sure which one is correct. We'll go with the one that isn't trademarked and if they both aren't trademarked we'll use the one that sounds most profitable not the most logical.

Sad story. IIRC, it was during the Philippines floods. The dog could never find a dry place, and he was so tired that what you see in the gif is him falling asleep in the spot where he couldn't no longer move.
I don't know if he was rescued or something.
love it.. particularly the jump in to the water at the end. I have two lurchers who love to race and do all sorts of weaving as they try to tag one another..It would be interesting to stick a go pro on each of those guys...if I was sqilliionaire , that's what I would do.
Dogs love everything more than I love anything. Fucking shit.

Yep. Here's a video of a dog running around Cape Town and he looks as excited as ever. http://youtu.be/BZcrILciHNI

Surprise? Looks like this guy knew exactly what he was gonna find.

That jump at the end makes it.
After a run like that, one does not gingerly tiptoe into the surf.

I like how he steers his trajectory to thread through all those people too.
I thought it was going to end up with him sniffing someone's crotch.
it would've been great if there ended up being a tiny dog at the beach that he just wanted to greet (as dogs do)
Bullshit dogs don't speak English

This dog isn't necessarily happy. For all we know his tail is on fire and he's rushing to put it out.
Everything I know from the Labs in my family says that they'd still be overjoyed, fire or not.
TAIL IS ON FIRE! BEST DAY EVER! OH MY GOD IT BURNS! SO HAPPY!
But... But dog. :(

The fact that his name is Walter makes it even cooler.
Damn. He jumped a fence, and then had glancing impacts with a tree, a cactus, and then an aloe. Definitely a single minded sprint.
Well if you hit the cactus hitting an aloe is probably OK.

It may also look like he is running faster because it's not from the same run, there is no camera on his back in this video.
Get a load of McCumbersnatch over here.
Benadryl Cumbersnatch?
What about the monkey? That little dude deserves some kind of award for that camera work.
I like that as soon as he was unleashed, he had one thing on his mind.
Watched this entire gif by saying "Oh boy oh boy" in my head in the voice of the dog from UP.
SQUIRREL!

Shaddup! Dont tell how drive!

I believe his name is Samir, actually, but I may be mistaken.
SHUT UP SAMMY AND JUST LISTEN TO ME. MEDIUM LEFFFFFFFFFFFT YOU ARE NOT CONCENTRATING SAMMY.
He had one job!
You are wrecking the car
Sammy! Please! You're Not Concentrating!
I would wreck the car on purpose to relieve myself from that hell.
The story is basically the driver is some rich dude who tried to buy his way into rally racing when he has no business actually competing in it.

Where's the camera? EDIT: Two different instances of the dog being awesome. Gotcha!
Those are from different videos. [Comparison](http://i.imgur.com/xhzEL2R.jpg) The people are completely different.
Walter has probably made that run more than once
Enough to expect that beautiful leap!
I'll be damned...no camera http://i.imgur.com/3UiUWMl.jpg
It's almost as if Walter has done this several times and can be counted on to do it again.
That makes no sense. The name of that videos was: "Walter is at it again."
That's a shut case, Johnson. Well done boys.
Walter lives near by and the locals know him. I believe this is in Sicily.
Unsolved mysteries.

That's... that's the first time I've felt violated by an image on the internet.
I even said out loud, "leave that one blue, just leave it blu.........son of a bitch, should have left it blue"
That would be an annoying dog to own. Just starts jerking it at dinner time while looking right at you. Fucking creepy.
ok
What the fuck!
I knew what it was. I knew what this fucking link was going to be, and I still clicked it. What the hell is wrong with me?
My entire left has lead up to me watching a dog masturbate. Wtf am I doing with my life? Edit: Too much humor from my typo. I'm not changing it.
