Thumbnail for COVID-19 and the Dog Days of Design

Seven exceptionally good boys and girls. That’s roughly what it took to give me a much-needed lift last week.

Should you find yourself in a similar place at some point in your COVID-19 quarantine, I urge you to consider these 30 Dogs of Design. (And if you’re in need of additional creative canines after perusing this list, we’ve got you—oodles more can be found in the original Twitter thread.)

Stay healthy, friends, and don’t forget to pet your pet.
