Here are all the best dogs at polling stations, because we need some joy today

And also some cats, because why not

Here are all the best dogs at polling stations, because we need some joy today
08 June 2017

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. 

And here are some cats, because why the fuck not.
