Is there anything better than a happy dog? One look at their excited faces, wagging tails, and smiling eyes is enough to melt even the hardest of hearts. Now, some of the most joyous and adorable family dogs can be seen in what is sure to be the most “Awww”-inspiring book of the holiday season: DogJoy: The Happiest Dogs in the Universe.

From the editors of THE BARK magazine, DogJoy: The Happiest Dogs in the Universe is a collection of 300 of the very best full-color pics from the pack! Each entry features either a personal tale or a hilarious caption—but the real story is all in the photos themselves.

Whether you love the Laughers, Giggler, Sweeties, or one of the many other categories of joyful dogs featured in this book, it will be hard to choose your favorite.

We got a chance to see a copy of the book and love it! There are some truly funny photos inside, and all of them made us smile big. Of course we were particularly fond of the smiling dogs who had been rescued, but they were all so cute it would be hard to pick a favorite. We think it would be a perfect gift for the animal lover in your life. Doesn’t everyone need a bit more joy?

Enter to win! One lucky reader will get a copy of Dog Joy! Just leave a comment on this post telling us a story of how your dog shows joy. The giveaway will close at midnight on December 1st. You may enter daily until the giveaway ends. The winner will be chosen at random and contacted by email, so be sure your email address is correct in the comment form.

Someone sure was curious about the camera! So it’s not really a photo of a “patootie”, but this little rat sure is curious and cute!
