We Rate Dogs began as a Twitter account launched by Matt Nelson in 2015, quickly becoming a viral sensation for its wholesome and humorous evaluations of canine photos. The meme's defining characteristic is its unique scoring system, which almost always awards dogs a rating higher than 10, such as 13/10 or 15/10. It also popularized the phrase 'They’re good dogs, Brent,' following a viral interaction with a skeptical user. The template is widely used to celebrate pets through playful, anthropomorphic descriptions and exaggerated scores, reinforcing the internet's collective agreement that every dog is exceptional regardless of their behavior or appearance.
