This is seriously one of the cutest things I have ever seen. As Meg at Cute Overload would say, it's the teeniest of howls.

I've watched this little puppy about eight times since last night and it just never gets old. I still go 'awwwwwwwwww' every time. It's in the way the ears go back, the mouth, the not-quite-yet-open eyes, and of course, that precious mini howl.

And it's a Golden Retriever, my favorite breed of dog. Whenever I'm feeling down, I know just what I need to pick me up now.
