Have you looked into your dog’s eyes and felt pure love looking back at you? I don’t think there are enough feel-good words to describe the love reflected in a dog’s eyes. Our furry family members are gifts of positivity, companionship, loyalty, love, and laughter.
Joy and other feel-good words our dogs remind us of every day
After a game of fetch with my loveable Goldendoodle, I tried to capture some of the uplifting, feel-good “words” (unspoken but just as heartfelt and meaningful) that dogs share with us daily through their loyalty, companionship, tail wags, and live-in-the-moment attitude. If you need a dog-loving break and some feel-good words of inspiration, you’ve come to the right place.
Relax and let Happy-Go-Doodle bring a positive emotional feeling of joy to your day through the following story, quotes, and list of feel-good words.

The feel-good moment that inspired this post…
With the speed of a gazelle and the coordination of a cute but lumbering moose, Happy-Go-Doodle Chloe ran. White snow swirled around her muppet paws as she bounded down the stretch at top speed to return her most prized possession—a yellow tennis ball—to me. Fetch was a game we’d played hundreds of times…and maybe a hundred times in one day. But there was always a silly moment, a new discovery, or a funny feat that sparked joy in each game.
After dropping the ball just beyond my reach, Chloe looked up at me with a comical, quizzical expression…her tousled mop of red hair still flying everywhere. I laughed and spoke the word she was waiting for. “Fetch.”
“Dog” is the ultimate feel-good word
Since Chloe joined our family, we’d taught her many words. “Fetch” has always been her favorite. But, as dog lovers know, our canine companions have an unspoken language that they teach us daily. (I like to imagine that they’re born already having completed their degree from Dogs Love U.) And ultimately, they show us that “dog” is the ultimate feel-good word.
Doodle kisses and tail wags!
