This is One Good Thing, a weekly column where we tell you about one of the few nice things that happened this week.

Burt Reynolds died, people lit their Nike shoes on fire because they were unhappy with an ad, and Colton Underwood was named the next Bachelor. Clearly, this was a shit week.

But, before we get too overwhelmed, let us meditate on the one good thing the internet has given us: this GIF of a dog patiently sitting with a hot dog in his mouth while his owner takes his picture at a baseball game.

The baseball cap-sporting pup resists the urge to gobble up the stadium hot dog, only taking the most polite nibble, while his owner takes multiple photos of him. The restraint and obedience this dog has is astounding. He is truly a prince among dogs.

And clearly his efforts weren't in vain. Just look at the glorious end result:

A perfect photograph of a perfect dog. Amazing.

This good dog was first seen in the Dogspotting Facebook group -- where dog lovers share pictures and videos of dogs they've spotted -- and from there, then it trickled down throughout the rest of the internet.

The Facebook group tracked down the sweet hot dog holding pup (his name's Dash!) and his owner Ande to inquire about the photo shoot.

Dogspotting shared the response they received from Dash's owner Ande: "I live in Seattle and every summer our baseball team (go Mariners!) has a 'bark in the park' night where DOGS GET TO GO TO THE GAME WITH THEIR HUMANS 📷🚨 THIS IS NOT A DRILL AND OFFICIALLY MY BEST SPOT YET."

I mean, I am booking my flight to Seattle now.
