Happy animals

I've heard it said that happiness can be contagious, so this week I'm going to put that theory to the test with a collection of happy animal photos. Take a look at the following happy animal photos, and then if the theory is true, hopefully they'll leave you feeling a little bit happier yourself.

1) Happy dog

I must admit I love ice cream, and eating it always makes me happy. However, it doesn't make me quite as happy as this extremely happy ice cream eating dog...

This is no exagerration to say that I don't think the dog could possibly look any more happy. I think he's right at the limit of dog happiness.

Smiley faces in things

"A smile is the prettiest thing you can wear."

I don't know who said that, but whoever it was, it's a cool quote.

"Pareidolia sounds like some weird medical condition, but in actual fact pareidolia is simply the phenomenon of seeing faces (or other items) in everyday objects and patterns."

I know who said that. It was me!

Anyway, tomorrow is International Day Of Happiness, so I thought it would be appropriate to combine smiles and pareidolia, and feature a selection of happy smiley faces found in everyday objects.

1) Smiley face beer!

First up is a smiley face which randomly appeared in the froth on a pint of lager. Appropriately enough, the smiley face actually even looks a little bit tipsy, or perhaps that's just pareidolia playing tricks with my brain.
