Every once in a while, you come across a person who is much younger than you who is literally living your dream life. You feel ecstatic for them, and at the same time, a little jealous. OK, a lot jealous. That is what it was like for me when I discovered the Twitter account @IvePetThatDog. It is about to be your new favorite thing on the internet.
Ten-year-old genius Gideon goes around petting dogs, learning about them from their owners, and posting pictures of himself with the adorable pups. The kid is living the dream. He has been at it for a while and has amassed 202,000 followers on Twitter, which is insanely impressive. But the part that I am most jealous of is that Gideon has pet nearly 800 dogs since he started the account (which is supervised by his mom). That's a lot of dogs! @IvePetThatDog is the most wholesome thing on the internet, and it's about to make your day.
