Watching this adorable puppy video will help feed dogs in shelters

We’ve all spent an embarrassingly long amount of time watching super cute animal videos on YouTube. (In our defense, there are a *lot* of cute animal videos on YouTube, and we’ve gotta watch ’em all.) But what if our views actually made a difference? What if we could help other animals with every YouTube view? That’s what SoulPancake and Purina Dog Chow are making us ponder after releasing an amazing video that truly shows the power of puppies.

SoulPancake, a video company that aims to inspire its viewers, partnered up with Purina to create a video entitled #ThePowerOfPuppies, and it’s legitimately making us teary-eyed. They surprised kids at a preschool, residents of a retirement home, and members of a gym by bringing them a bunch of puppies when they were least expecting it. Surprise: They all reacted with absolute, pure joy.

These are faces only a puppy can inspire:

And even the most exhausted, hard-working members of the gym couldn’t resist big ol’ grins when they saw the puppies:

And if you thought they were adorable, look at the *pure happiness* on this little girl’s face when she realized that she was about to cuddle little puppies at school.

Because honestly, who can resist puppies that look like this?

This woman can’t:

And neither can this guy, because puppies are the ultimate cure for boredom and the perfect way to brighten someone’s day, obviously.

Oh, and this is one video you don’t have to feel guilty watching, because with every view under 500,000, Purina will be donating one pound of Puppy Chow Natural to Rescue Banks. Currently, the video has been viewed about 230,000 times, and we have until April 23rd to get that number up until 500,000 and feed the max amount of puppies, so let’s get watching, folks — no need to feel guilty this time.

Check out the video below and be prepared to feel some feelings, folks.
