We're Obsessed With the Freakin' Adorable #TherapyDogs of Instagram

The Instagram hashtag #therapydogs is a form of therapy in and of itself. There are thousands upon thousands of shots of fluffy pups whose job it is to make people's lives better. While one could argue that pets in general serve this purpose, friends like Igor Pugdog and Finn the beagle go a step further. 

Who do they help? Hospital patients, hospice residents, children, stressed-out college students, the disabled and those with physical and psychological conditions, among many others. They can lend a paw to someone in need, and luckily, their owners are there to document it.

Take Igor Pugdog, for example: 

The multifaceted canine — he's also a freelance actor and model — is a R.E.A.D.- and child-tested therapy dog, which means that kids can read to him in order to further their own literacy skills.

Here's Igor and a few of his companions:
