If you’re in search of a mood-lifter, I have two magic words for you: ball pit. And what’s better than a ball pit by itself? A ball pit full of dogs, of course!
Ball pit dogs know how to rock the party, whether they’re itty-bitty puppies crawling all over each other in a sea of colorful spheres, or big, tough boxers showing the ball pit who’s boss. We’ve rounded up the best videos of dogs playing in ball pits, and they’re guaranteed brighten your day. So jump on in, the ball pit’s fine!

To get in on the ball pit action at home, simply fill a kiddie pool with balls, or pick up a ready-made, pet-friendly ball pit online or at your favorite pet supply store. You and your dog will be having a ball in no time.
