Derp dogs, derp dogs, derpy, derpy, derpy dogs! Can you guess how we’re going to bring a smile to your face today, dear Pandas? With photos of adorably derpy dogs, of course! Wait, you knew? You’re gonna have to let me know how later. But for now, let’s not waste any time and jump straight into the pile of happy doggos and pupperinos who can’t wait to meet you.
We’ve collected some of the dorkiest, most fun photos of dogs, all featured on the wonderful r/AnimalsBeingDerps subreddit, home to 4 million nature lovers. Scroll down and upvote your fave photos (remember, an upvote is like giving the animal a nice long belly rub). What else can we say? The derp has been unleashed! And there's no putting it back in the kennel.
Oh, and I know some of you Pandas might be considering getting a dog for your home after witnessing the tons of playfulness in this list, so make sure to read Bored Panda’s interview with a representative of the PDSA, the UK’s leading veterinary charity, about bringing puppies into our homes. Spoiler warning: taking care of any animal is a big responsibility, so we have to be sure we’re up to the task.
When you’re done enjoying all of these lovely photos, you should definitely check out Bored Panda’s previous post about derpy dogs right here. Cat lovers, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered, too! There are some amazingly derpy cats right here and here.

It focuses on lighthearted content that’s a lot of fun and has been bringing smiles to people’s faces since 201. It’s doubly fun if you sneak in a few derpy photos during a short break at work or school. Sharing is caring, so make sure your pals see some of the most awesome dorky canines, too.
Bringing a dog home (derpy or otherwise… though we think all dogs are essentially derps, though some learn to hide it better) is no easy feat. It’s not as simple as picking up a water bowl, a chunky bag of kibble, and calling it a day. I reached out to the PDSA for some tips on taking care of puppies at home. Oh, and just so our resident cat-loving Pandas don’t feel left out, I also got some advice about raising kittens, too.

PDSA Vet Anna Ewers Clark told Bored Panda that all of us should think very carefully about bringing a puppy, kitten, or any other animal home.
“Taking on any pet is a big responsibility, but taking on a young dog or cat can be an even bigger commitment,” she said. “Make sure you do your research before you start searching for your new pet. Saying ‘no’ once you’ve fallen in love with a beautiful young pet can be extremely difficult—so it’s best to make sure you’re fully prepared before you start looking,” Anna explained that the more effort we put in before opening the doors of our homes to pets, the smaller the chance of heart-break or things not working out.

First, you need to consider your pet’s welfare needs. Think about how the pet will fit into your lifestyle when they’re fully grown, not just tiny, adorable balls of cuddliness.
“You’ll also need to look for a responsible breeder or rehoming center and be prepared to teach and train your new pet as they grow into an adult. If you’re not sure that you want a puppy or kitten, you might want to consider finding an older pet from a reputable rehoming center instead,” PDSA Vet Anna shared.

It's not trained behavior per se. It is an behavior that's seen in puppies. It's a natural behavior that's then fostered.
Load More Replies...Anna stressed the fact that the puppies (and kittens!) that we choose to bring home with us have to be at least 8 weeks old. This way, they’ll be more independent and not as reliant on their mom. “Puppies and kittens should be at least 8 weeks old when they come home with you. At this age, they should be able to care for themselves and be eating a puppy or kitten diet, without needing any milk from their mother.”
Meanwhile, when you bring your puppy home, you’ll need to help them settle in and feel comfortable in their new home. They should feel relaxed, at ease, free to show you their lighthearted, playful, and derpy side.

Water Bed?
“Make sure you have the ideal home for your puppy and kitten, You’ll need to buy the supplies they need, check your house is safely arranged, for example moving furniture to create secure, hazard-free places for them, and pet-proofing your garden. Pheromone diffusers can help calm your new pet and make them feel more at home,” Anna suggested.

Dog Behaving Like A Plant
“You should also try to keep things as familiar as possible when you first bring your puppy or kitten home. Ask their breeder/ rehoming center about the food they’re eating and their daily routine. It’s also a good idea to take a bed or blanket with you go to visit your new pet. Then you can bring this home with them, providing them with a familiar place to sleep surrounded by the smell of their mother and littermates.”

It's Called A Guilty Dog Test. The Guilty Dog Can't Look Straight At The Object Broken
Wouldn't be too sure about that. I never ever yell at my cats or punish them or whatever but I can sure tell when one of them has done some mischief. One of them clearly avoids any kind of confrontation and the other one,... well... just doesn't care. 😂

What the heck, you tell everybody I'm a real cut up - I try and this happens, I just can't win!
My parents' old dog would act guilty when he farted. We'd be like "Omg what's that smell?!" and the guilt was written all over his little face and he'd quietly slip out of the room. 😂
A pair of scissors! That could have ended horribly for a doggo. Happy they are not hurt.
If I hold my camera at my dog, she always avoids looking at it or at me. She does all the expressions of submission, although I have never done anything to hurt her with the camera (she never gets to see the pictures ;-) ) She has also never done anything TO the camera, mine or any other. So ... I wouldn't call this a good proof of anything.

That net could quite easily slice into the nose, gums or eyes, not to mention the potential for a fear response causing everything from broken bones to strangulation. Some think this is cute, however in reality it is extremely dangerous. Please think twice before ever allowing any animal into a net.
Nets do not work. Try tethering them in the seat belt holder instead with a short leash. Mine love to sit between the front seats and help me drive...

This Is The First Time I Ever See Her Do This And I Can’t Stop Laughing
I have a cat who has started licking glass, then she presses her face into it really hard and rubs her nose on it until it makes that squeaky noise. The first time I noticed it was a couple months ago, so this is recent. She’s been a weird cat since we rescued her when she was 5-6 weeks old, weighed barely one pound, and was abandoned all by herself—-and yowling like she had the lungs of an elephant.
Well stop laughing and open the durn doorWith you is where I want to be!
Found This Giant Bug Lying On The Street
I Cannot Figure Out Why He Likes To Lick The Vent
Because one of your kids dropped a hamburger down a vent two years ago.
I had a Doberman who had to take pills every day. They were little coated tablets, bright pink. Zelda liked to sleep right next to the vent, like this dog. One day, I can't remember why, I shone a flashlight into the vent. It was FULL of little coated tablets. She had held them in her mouth long enough to get the coating off, and then spit them down the vent. Smart girl, but no wonder her condition wasn't improving.
I wish you dust these damn thing once in a while - they taste yucky!

I read a while ago that there are species that mark spots like this to appear bigger than they are. I doubt that was pugs, though.
He wants to make other dogs think he's very tall. I had a Labrador who would find a palm frond she could bend to the ground. She'd pee on it and then let fly, sending pee high into the trees. I learned not to walk too close behind her, especially when she was about to launch the pee dispersal unit.
