Meet Okra. The Veggie Who'll Steal Your Heart

Let's address the elephant in the room...

Yes, her name is Okra.

No, you do not have to like the vegetable to fall head over heels for this puppy.

In fact, were pretty confident this is the only Okra you'll ever happily invite onto your couch... and into your lap... and probably into your bed.

Okra is a Lab mix with a heart that's somehow even bigger than her adorable puppy paws. She came into rescue after being surrendered when her previous owner threatened to harm the litter. Thankfully, she and her siblings were brought to safety, and now this little girl only has one job, to be the happiest puppy she can possibly be.

And trust us... she's taking that job very seriously.

Like any world-class puppy, Okra believes life should follow a simple schedule:

Play hard.
Chase ice cubes across the kitchen like they're in the Stanley Cup Finals.
Nap directly in a human
