Dogs are good.
Merriam-Webster got plenty of them when they tweeted the word "doggos," which is one of the words the dictionary is watching — but hasn't yet made the criteria for entry.

The classical definition of doggo originates from late-19th century slang. It means to be in hiding, as to "lie doggo," as per a Time article from 1886 the dictionary cited in its blog post. (https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/words-were-watching-doggo)
However, the dictionary acknowledged the word's meteoric rise over the past year or so, which is chiefly the internet's doing. (https://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2017/04/23/524514526/dogs-are-doggos-an-internet-language-built-around-love-for-the-puppers)
