Dogs can’t tell us they’re excited, so instead, they have to show us. And a dog’s gestures of excitement are grand, silly, and adorable. Whether it’s running, bouncing, or letting their tongue hang out, it’s easy to tell when a dog is bursting with excitement.

A dog’s happiness might seem overdramatic, but that’s okay! It’s good that most dogs are so positive and upbeat all the time. So, let’s take a moment and appreciate all the excited dogs in this world. Here are 21 pups who just can’t contain their excitement, and you’re sure to adore all of them.
