17 Dogs Who Can't Wait For Fall To Get Here

The first few weeks of September can be brutal. You want to be excited as stores start to fill up with your favorite fall trends. You can’t wait to get your hands on pumpkin spiced anything, and the promise of fall — with all its trips to the apple orchard and glorious displays of nature — is the only thing on your mind. Except, wait. It’s still 80 degrees outside, and just thinking about being anywhere near a cozy infinity scarf or a piping hot cup of mulled apple cider has you sweating.

OK. So we still have a few weeks to go before we can fully appreciate this beautiful season in all its finery. But if there's anything that I've learned in my life, it's that there is one simple remedy that can solve pretty much any problem: cute animals. While you're stuck in your non-air conditioned apartment wishing for sweater weather, these 17 adorable pups are here to remind you that crunchy leaves, pumpkin picking, and crisp autumn air are just a few weeks away — and they are just as excited about that as you are.
