    When Pierce was just 23 years old, he got a book deal with Random House. He blessed the world with his books and now he's blessing us with his looks. Need further proof? Let's take a look.

    Here he is, shirtless, (thank you Jesus <3) standing in front of scenery. Who even noticed the scenery? No one. Because Pierce.

    Here he is drinking coffee, or tea, or honestly who the hell cares because LOOK AT HIM.

    He poses with cute dogs and SOMEHOW looks cuter than them.

    And he likes cats too!!!!

    He manages to make In-N-Out look EVEN TASTIER.

    And likes to READ.

    Basically, thank you to Pierce for existing. We only have one question...

    CAN WE BE THIS DOG?!?!?!?
