45+ Nostalgic Dog Memes for Millennials Still Saying ‘Rawr XD’ Instead of Laughing

Gather 'round, fellow millennials - aka the generation that survived dial-up internet, Myspace top 8 drama, and the crushing weight of student loans. We may not have flying cars yet, but at least we have dog memes. Honestly, that's the kind of progress we needed.

If you remember the golden age of the internet, you know dogs have always been at the center of it. From Doge blessing our screens with much wow, to advice animals filling every forum and Facebook wall with low-res wisdom, pups have been fueling our meme diets since before Instagram was even a thing. These were the days of "I Can Has Cheezburger?" and LOLcats - except dogs were sneaking in, wagging their tails, and claiming their rightful throne as kings of early internet comedy.

Fast forward to now, and nothing hits harder than a meme that feels like it crawled straight out of a Tumblr dashboard in 2011. Pair that nostalgic chaos with some adorable, goofy puppers? Chef's kiss. Pure pupper serotonin. Whether you were the kid making cringey "Rawr XD" posts on DeviantArt or the one posting blurry dog pics on LiveJournal, this dog memes collection is about to send you back in time in the best way possible.

So grab your skinny jeans, side bangs, and maybe a can of Monster Energy - these dog memes are here to teleport your funny bone straight to 2009.

When your dog forgets how to dog, it's still a dog doing a doggo thing, since dogs are so silly they simply forget how to dog from time to time. That's just a dog thing.
