With one of the most important election results in decades mere HOURS AWAY, you may be feeling a bit anxious. Glum, even. Depressed. Concerned about your future.
But never fear: dogs at polling stations are back! The wholesome meme – and the only good thing about this godforsaken election – basically does what it says on the tin. It’s photos of dogs...at polling stations. That’s it.
The trend started a few years ago and took off during last year’s local elections and the EU referendum – and this year’s hashtag has even been sponsored by Twitter and the Dog’s Trust.
Anyway, here are some dogs who are at polling stations. Bye.

Klaus certainly Labour-ed his view we had to vote. He definitely wasn't Conservative about it. #dogsatpollingstations #GeneralElection17 pic.twitter.com/SsBd0aoB8A
