You’ve just given your adorable dog a bath. You’ve brushed its coat and now it’s gleaming like burnished copper. But you forgot to close the back door and off your silly doggo goes, bounding outside. And then you realize: it’s rained recently, there’s dirt everywhere outside, and your pooch is already frolicking across muddy puddles like Peppa Pig.

That’s just one of the many possible situations how your beautiful floof of a doggo can get muddy, messy, and mucky. Bored Panda has compiled a list of adorable and funny photos showing why you should never let your dog take a mud bath. So scroll down, upvote these funny doggers, and let us know in the comments if your pet’s ever done something similar. Oh, and when you’re done enjoying this list, have a look through our previous post about muddy canines.

This post might make some of you want to adopt a pet dog or become a better person by volunteering at your local animal shelters. If that’s what’s on your mind, read on for our interview with the Central California Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Who do they think they can fool? They obviously left their poor dog in the woods and took a bear cub instead. Tzzz.
