Dapper Day Care Dogs Strut Their Stuff in Hawaiian Shirts Lifting Spirits All Around

Anyone who has a child in school knows that themed dress up days a few times a year are practically a given, no matter what grade they're in. But when it comes to dogs who go to daycare, it's not really a thing — though, in my opinion, it totally should be. Dressing your dog up in outrageous outfits is part of the fun of being a parent (as long as you have a dog who will gracefully allow you to do so), and there's no doubt that seeing a group of dogs all dressed up together will bring anyone a lot of joy!

Fortunately, there's one doggie daycare that is doing that kind of thing, and they have been generous enough to share the results with the world on social media. Can we talk about how adorable this gang of pups is?!

Last week, @dogtherapypups on Instagram shared the cutest video of the dogs at their program all dressed up in Hawaiian shirts. They look like they're planning an afternoon of surfing — you know, before the luau later that night, obviously.

These dogs are all different sizes and breeds, from a Corgi pup named Mazzy to a Bernese Mountain Dog puppy named Bruce. They're all wearing the same shirt, so they coordinate quite nicely, and though the OP asks who wore it best in the video, personally, it would be impossible to pick just one! Can't they all win?!

In the comments, people shared their picks, while others agreed with me that it was too hard to choose a winner. These dogs are all looking sharp!

What makes these fashionable canines even more special is the fact that they are all at daycare for a purpose: They're learning to be good puppies!

The program that these Hawaiian shirt wearing dogs are part of is pretty cool. It's called Dog Therapy , and it allows puppies to be socialized and learn etiquette so they can succeed in the world with their humans.

According to Dog Therapy's website, their Puppy School program uses positive reinforcement to teach puppies basic (but necessary) skills like how to share, how to interact with humans and other dogs, and using their inside voices.

"A confident dog is a friendly dog," says the site. "We gently desensitize puppies to different stimuli like noises, tools and medical equipment, visitors and passers-by, and anything else we can think of introducing them to."

These dogs definitely seem to be getting prepared for being awesome puppies properly. Now, we just need to get doggie daycares everywhere on board with this kind of activity...
