We love our doggos. The world would be one hell of a lonely, sad place without them and no one dares to tell us otherwise. But let’s face it, they are not the most graceful, sophisticated and cultured four-legged furries out there. Having said that, their instinctive dorkiness and unprecedented derpiness is exactly part of the reason why we love ‘em so much.
Speaking of the latter, today we’re diving into the world of derpy dogs, aka dogs acting like silly-asses and having no shame about it, where everything goes against manners, common sense, and mutual agreement.
But hey, the widely popular online community of r/AnimalsBeingDerps prove that there’s something fascinating about derpy animals and doggos are no exception! Scroll down, upvote your favorite pics and make sure to visit our previous article on derpy cats, because yeah, they too have their soft, dorky spot.

Load More Replies...“To date, TikTok videos that are tagged with #dog have been watched over 120 BILLION times,” states Salman Haqqi, a senior pet insurance expert at Money.co.uk. So we reached out to him in a bid to find out what it is about our beloved doggos that makes the internet go crazy.
“The reason that pictures and videos of dogs are so popular online is because there's rarely anything controversial about a well-looked-after pooch,” Salman explained. He added that “content often goes viral because it evokes emotions from the masses and pictures and videos of dogs simply make people feel happier when they’re watching them.”
And in this hectic world, most of us feel deprived of feel-good emotions that give us such an emotional boost, therefore dogs become a vital part of that daily fix.
Twinsie Derp. How This Is Comfortable?

My first thought as well. Luckily several other commentators’ as well

Too cute! 😍😍😍 And to who ever is taking care of these cuties, you are doing a great job, because they obviously trust you and feel safe around you or they wouldn't sleep in that position.
But are there particular breeds that are more prone to internet fame than others? It turns out that cross breeds are incredibly popular, “breeds such as Cockerpoos and Labradoodles are now some of the most popular due to the combination of desirable factors, both genetically and aesthetically.” As a result, “it adds to the cute factor and people's interest in those specific breeds.”

Load More Replies...It’s no secret that the world of pet influencers has boomed in recent years, inspiring animal-specific influencer agencies, major brand campaigns and partnerships, and on-screen appearances. So you may have stumbled across the dog-influencer, which is a dog “that has a large following on social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, etc.”
“Obviously they've had help from their respective owners,” Salman noted and added: “but they're accounts people engage with, either because they can relate to having their own furry friends or just enjoy 'canine content' vicariously, without owning a dog themselves.”
He’s A Derp, Not A Fighter
Old pics, the "robber" was a police officer that came by every day and the dog knew his scent.
Late news: jewelery robber stopped by guard dog by rubbing his belly for 45 minutes til the cops arrived.
Load More Replies...It's my theory that in an actual robbery, the dog would pick up on the fear and adrenaline that would be flying around and would wake up and do his job. It's hard to fake fear and adrenaline.
Cause dogs are not stupid! The dog probably knew there was no danger (maybe saw the staged robber before in the store). I wouldn't bother to lose my sleep either!!
Current generation DOGS are not for guarding, get CCTV. Cuddle him while watching CCTV footage.

Yeas, it's that carrot I want - but could you remove the green part please!
Are too large for his face. Over breeding can cause the eyes on some dog breeds like this to actually not stay in the sockets propely. Same with the tongue - it's is sometimes out like that because it's too big for the mouth (not always - other issues can cause this). The dog is adorable but should not be bred to look like this. Humans have a lot to answer for.
Load More Replies...I won't argue about the state of that poor dog, nobody should be breeding an animal with conformation that bad. The tongue thing is just a result of missing teeth.

Some breeds have too long tongues by misbreeding. Constant bleps are a sign they might come from an irresponsible breeder.
It's mostly that they have normal tongues in too short mouths.

It Only I Could Sleep This Well
I could never put a dog outside in a shed . Dogs are not a farm animal, so why do this.
It could just be a little hut for the dog so that it can relax when it is outside. I don’t know this exact situation but there are plenty of places where dogs are allowed to roam freely from inside to outside and if the pup wants to stay outside for a while, it’s gotta have a place to chill

My Mom's Dog Fell Asleep This Way
Dogs have a nictating membrane - third eyelid as it were. They just didn't shut the first and second eyelids when securing the third.
Load More Replies...Why stick a dog in a create? Why have a dog if it can't be with it's family? I find this cruel and crazy. We had many cats and dogs over the years and never ever had them live in crates or wooden box. If you care more for your furniture than your four legged friend, we'll get a stuffed toy instead. This is so sad to treat your pet this way, put yourself in a crate or box and see nice this is to spend your days and nights in such a small space! Shame on you!
Crate training is not cruel. Forcing a dog to live its entire life in its crate is, but that’s not usually the case. A dog’s crate is somewhere the dog stays at night or when the family is away and no one is there to ensure they are safe. Our dogs are crate trained and the crate is called “bed”. The command is “go to bed” at night or when we leave. If we are gone for long periods, we put food and water in the crate but if it’s to sleep or just short periods, they just have their blankets and a toy or two. Dogs who are crate trained will often voluntarily go to their crates to sleep because that’s where they feel most comfortable and they know it’s safe. So it is not cruel and can often save families from heaps of issues such as broken items or injured pets due to them being left unattended.
