I lost my 18 year old girl on the 18th. She was 13/10 till the end. She was good and naughty and so fun. We walked 3.8 miles her last day and had a belly full of her favorite foods. I'll miss her forever. Dogs are great.

[@rebeccavaiphei21]

❤❤❤

[@margaretarce31]

So sorry for your loss. My Biggirl left this world Dec.12 at 15. She was the best rescue ever. I hope our pups are somewhere meeting each other.

[@adeladavila-estelritz7315]

My ❤ goes out to you. She'll ALWAYS be with you.😭💔❤️

[@SquishSquatch-jw5kk]

My thoughts to you and your old girlie i know the feeling, we lost our family dog on the 16th at the age of 15 and I cried for 3 days solid but the memories make it worth the pain. Dogs are really great

[@judygreggor612]

RIP Baby Girl, so sorry for your loss. 🌈♥♥♥

[@danigirl82]

The balance of laughter and cries was perfect. Always the best recap of the year.

[@ElizabethMeziere]

My dog Tank passed this year after two years suffering from a tumor. When I finally came back home after being on the road he realized quickly that I was pregnant and very close to having my baby. He gained back his strength and never left my side. I finally came home from the hospital and he stayed long enough just to make sure the baby and I were okay❤️ I’ll forever miss him

[@emmawild9302]

Aww, i'm really sorry for your lost ❤️‍🩹 Tank was a really good doggie ❤️‍🩹

[@kristihoward1387]

Thanks for my favorite content week after week, year after year. Here’s to more very good dogs in 2025! 🥂🐾

[@JoyceMcbride-k5b]

I have no words but still wanted to send some love. i’ve been there too-the beginning of 2024. i couldn’t live my life without a golden-so i got 2!! i still miss my boy but it’s hard to hold on to that for long these days! sending love your way.

[@Pawsomepranks1]

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of Tank. It sounds like he was an incredible companion, showing unwavering love and loyalty, especially when you needed him the most.

[@jimmyyounger618]

A stone fell from my heart when I read the name Tank. My son's family dog was also 'Tank,' and he passed a few weeks ago. Tank had been my grandson's best friend and companion from the time my grandson was born. He'd never experienced a loss before - the anguish in his voice was crushing. We were on the phone but soon unable to talk because the pain had taken away our voices. Bless your Tank for staying as long as he could, as did our beloved Tank.

[@kousetsuhana]

they're good dogs, Brent (crying my eyes out)

[@codofwisdom]

I lost my best friend Pretzel over a year ago. He was quiet, spoiled, loved attention, smart, a glutton, and one of the reasons I was able to come back from some of the worst mental health I've ever had. He was a rescue dog, and stuck to me like glue. I wouldn't leave his side if I could help it. We were rarely apart for more than a few minutes or a few hours. His separation anxiety was pretty bad, and I did everything I could to make him happy. He loved exploring, and would sometimes get into neighbor's yards, and bard as loud as he could. I knew his bark as well as I knew my own voice. I would always collect him, and he was always so happy to see me. I miss him. It's selfish, but I miss him so much. I try to be happy, because I know he would want me to be happy. I loved him, and still love him. And seeing all of these dogs reminded me of him. Haven't cried this hard in almost a year. Dogs are love and hope incarnate. If you are reading this, and own or know a dog, please tell them I said hi. Please give them a hug. They deserve the world and more.

[@Bri_D_810]

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your companion, Pretzel. It seems like he was a very good boy. I'm glad you two had each other ❤ And I just told my 2 dogs, Skip and Stella, that you said hi - and I swear their sighs after were sighs of comfort/relaxation. I gave them each a hug as well ☺️

[@hewhofapslastfapshardest.5926]

I will, my friend. Every pooch I encounter I'll give extra pets from you as well as me and tell them of you and Pretzel. Also please be proud of yourself-you fought depression in the best way possible-with love, and kindness. Love from you to Pretzel and back again, kindness in rescuing him in the first place and giving him a life full of joy. Because you did just that. You gave Pretzel a wonderful life while on this earth; and that is no small thing. I also truly believe that when it's our time to go, not only do the people who love us come find us to welcome us home, but so do our pets. You and Pretzel will find one another again, because just as the soul is incarnate and deathless, so too is love shared from one soul to another. May you find peace between then and now, knowing somewhere out there in a place full of sunlight and peace is a brilliant, furry soul tethered by love to your own, waiting to greet you with joy and gratitude once it's your time to go home. Before then however, be happy, as you are right-Pretzel wants happiness for you. And treat yourself with the same gentleness you did Pretzel, as you are just as equally deserving of patience and kindness. And now, I'm going to go pet our family pooch from you, tell him about Pretzel and that you say hi. ❤❤

Thank you for another year of dogs, Matt. This year has been one of the worst for me personally, but at least these good dogs are always a constant.

[@richardferguson6893]

Hope next year is better for you.

[@Mishel33020]

I am a nurse and to say that these last two weeks have been by far, the worst of my nursing career would be an understatement. I'm sitting in my car, leaving work and laughing and crying all at the same time over this video. I love the kindness that's still out there. Thank you ❤❤❤❤

[@wombat.6652]

You remember to look after yourself too. I know it can be so hard when you're so exhausted, Oh better idea, allow someone to make you a cuppa, while you put your feet up. For a few minutes. Or something.

[@caro_1986]

Ending the year ugly crying is the best part 🫶🏻 I love them all 🥰

My 12 year old girl is awaiting an ultrasound in the ER for a possible bowel obstruction. This video warmed my heart and also has me bawling. I’m just sitting here praying that our Maude will be okay. She is like all doggies…the best doggie. Thanks for this beautiful video. 💖

Love that we know so many of the stories behind these clips thanks to another wonderful year spent with We Rate Dogs. Thank you for all you do! Spoiler alert: I think the dogs are going to be good again in 2025. 🥰

[@flok.8317]

You gotta be kidding...

[@courageouspotato-pc7gh]

Thank you Matt and We Rate Dogs for reminding me every day that there’s still good out there. Happy New Year everyone, especially the dogs. 💙

[@AnneDragonfly]

My sweet beast passed a few weeks ago after living together for 14 yrs. She was a rescue from PR, wasn’t supposed to be in that transport but curiosity brought her around and she lay down, crossed her forepaws in the sun and the rescuer was hooked. She filled the house with her constancy, her sweetness, her empathy. She came to work w me, helping my patients and colleagues to feel loved. She was a mad fiend for woods hikes, was hiking 2 miles 2-3 times a week until a few days before she died. She was always aloof - circled around, always made sure I was right behind her on the trail, even laid her head on sore areas when she knew I was suffering (knee replacement, hip replacement), but she didn’t like to cuddle and kiss. After she died, I felt so guilty because I thought I should have trained her to be more cuddly because in her last moments, she just could not accept hugs. I was OK at that moment because I felt she was dying the way she lived, and I know she knew I was with her until the very last breath. Multiple people asked me why she wasn’t a cuddler.. I don’t know …she was so many wonderful things that it almost sounds silly to ask that question. “You mean you’re a rocket scientist but you’re not a neuroscientist too?” Lol. What a great dog -my soul dog. She is out there still. With me always. ❤️💔🐾❤️

[@brittgonz]

Beautiful message. Sending love to you!

The dogs were so good that I had to pause several times as I was unable to see due to tears. Thank you Matt and team for bringing so much joy to all of us. Happy 2025 Everyone!

[@togetherrrr]

We rescued a dog from shelter, she was 9.5 years of age, with some health issues. She was surrendered by an elder couple for euthanizing. She was in shelter for only one day, when we saw her, and instantly fell in love, it was an instant connection. We gave her 5.5 more wonderful years to enjoy her life. She discovered real raw chicken and other treats. She had no idea what a dog walk was, we taught her how to walk with the leash, and boy she enjoyed every bit of it after learning. She passed away in home, after coming in from the deck. Paid down, and was gone right away. We buried here here on our 4 acre property, with the stone over her grave, saying Thank you for your love" She was loving, understanding, intuitive, my best friend Banner. I have two more now, precious love bugs. DOGS ARE PRECIOUS PURE SOULS.

[@ANightattheOpera28]

Sweet Kabosu ;; A good sheeb til the end. I love the mix of tearjerker stories and doggo silliness. It's a great blend! John Oliver was so real for dedicating his award to dogs.

[@LaurieAnnOR]

This was such a lovely trip down memory lane. Tears and laughter both with this one. I’m at work today and one of my patients is wearing your t-shirts! I let out a whoop! that was too loud and we both laughed. No dogs involved just like minded people celebrating dogs!

[@marshaseas166]

Thank you for making me cry on a regular basis and for putting so much love and joy out into the world 💜

[@rebeccak918]

You have GOT to stop posting these during the day! I have a meeting in 10 minutes and I am SOBBING! Thank you so much. This channel has been one of the best parts of my year 💜🐶

Once again, bring the box of tissues. Thank you for sharing the beautiful dogs with us. ♥♥

10 minutes of my drenched face. Thank you ❤ for all the good dogs in the world.

[@abbyfultz1001]

When the golden retriever who graduated from chemotherapy came up I bawled like a baby. I miss my dog Wynnie so much. She was incontinent due to a basketball sized tumor and we had no idea until we took her in to the vet that it would be our last morning with her. That was almost two years ago. And my aunt lost lost her dog on Friday going home to Illinois after spending Christmas with us in North Carolina. Cacner sucks, and my mom has it too. Gosh I miss my babies so much. I've lost four dogs in my life and Wynnie was the hardest for sure! My first dog that l was alive when she was a puppy and loved her for 9 years. God Bless you girls, Dottie, Ginger "Ginny", Candy and Wynnie

[@WendeWylie]

The only time of the year I actually look forward to crying my eyes out!! Thank you so much for this. Dog bless you!

This was one of the worst years of my life and the evening is looking sad so far, but your creative work never fail to put a smile on my face. Thank you. Also I love the song choice. Happy new year!

Two of my favorite dogs from 2024 were Maggie the goodmorning smiles dog, and Daphne, who was so excited after finally learning how to use the doggie door after for years. Thank you so much, Matt, for giving us something to look forward to every single day ❤

I have been following We Rate Dogs for forever and I sooooo appreciate the work he does. My absolutely favorite question he as asked was, "Why it was called "*We* rate dogs" instead of something else," and he answered "Cuz *i*rate dogs would be totally wrong!!!" (Irate dogs (angry dogs) vs "I rate dogs" (I judge dogs), for our international viewers)." I LUV ALL YOU DO!

[@sandrakennedy4877]

With all the crap going on in the World this was an amazing gift for sanity , peace and laughter. Thank you for posting it.

Thanks for this. Thanks so fucking much. A couple months ago, my pup of 10 years and best friend, Data, was diganosed with Cushing's disease. He started his medication recently and he'll be fine, but the whole process of actually fiding out what he had was excruciating. Many restless nights, a couple full breakdowns, a lot of anxiety and stress, and a significant financial hit that has and will have consequences on our household, but he's going to be fine. It's videos like this, and We Rate Dogs in general, that remind us of how important our furry friends are in our lives. Thank you for everything you do and keep up the good work. We love you will all our hearts. 13/10

[@chaosgoblin89167]

I lost my best friend (200/10) of a decade this fall. he loved parmesan cheese and asparagus, especially taking it from my mom's garden. i'm so glad I had him in my life. this video reminded me how lucky I was to know him, and how lucky we are to have the love of dogs. thank you for sharing such a beautiful video ❤

[@GracieAnn-e9k]

Just recently found your site. Lot's of dog/cat videos out there but yours speaks to the fact that dogs/cats are hurt & that your organization helps them. It's always heartbreaking to hear these stories but your aiding them can balance it (sometimes; because sadly we have too many that abuse these wonderful creatures) You're one of the good ones so keep it up; we all know our furbabies need it.

[@janjacobson6088]
