Dogs are everything to us. Dogs are the cutest thing in the whole wide world. Dogs are funny as heck without even trying. Dogs are life, dogs are love, and we are willing to do pretty much anything to be with them just a little bit longer. Now, we knew that we were a bit pupper-crazy, but now, after reading this story, we think that this obsession is universal to all doggo people. Because if you're someone who's willing to trick NASA into bringing your dogs to work… well, then you simply must be doggo-crazy.
And that is definitely true for Leland Melvin. He is an ex-NFL player turned astronaut who is clearly obsessed with his doggos. We are sure that you have seen this photo before - two adorable doggos running up to their favorite astronaut. Who hasn't seen it? But do you know the whole story behind it? Because we didn't, and we didn't know just how much we needed to know it.
We all consider our doggos part of the family, that is simply true. And anyone who tells us that is silly is someone who has clearly never had a dog before themselves. Honestly, our dogs are even better than some members of our family, and we are not even shamed to say that. Dogs are pawfection.
We swear, with every single sentence that we read of this twitter thread, we only fell in love more - both with Leland Melvin and with his dogs and even with this friend and the photographer. We have not read such a wholesome story in such a long time, and goodness, but we needed it.
