Pug!

Aw! The little guy's playing with the blanket! Doesn't that just make you forget that eventually your body will break down and your consciousness will fade and the eternal blackness will take you and there will be nothing, forever, and you won't even be around to know it? Pugs are so ADORABLE!

See this guy? Isn't he happy? Stare at his happy face! Don't you find he completely makes you forget the fact that, at some point in the next few years – and years are so short, so short – you'll die, forever, and be forgotten by everyone? Of course you do! I bet his name's Mister Chuckles or something.

What's this naughty boy done? Has he wet the carpet? Chewed the rug? Or maybe he's just failed to make you forget about the futility of all human endeavour in the uncaring face of eternity? No! It couldn't be that! He's far too cute!

Bathtime!
