About The Dogs Were Good (again)
The Dogs Were Good (again) is the only show brave enough to answer the question: were the dogs good this week? Join Matt Nelson of WeRateDogs as he identifies and discusses the best dogs from the week’s news, viral moments, and highlights from our increasingly massive database of good boys and girls. He is uniquely qualified to say things like "wow that's a good dog" or "[unintelligible squealing due to cute dog]."
