This social media page shares funny memes about walks, treats, toys, and other important things we talk about with our beloved four legged friends.
Whether you grew up with a Newfoundland or have always admired Shibas, there's something for every dog lover!

Just watching that picture is making my toes curl in happiness! Luna, you beautiful, beautiful thing! 😊
lol my dog does this and she sits really pretty once she has her treat itl like she melts into this fury blob .
Yes! There is a version for cats too... mi-gato-es...acb22b.jpg
I have this with a list of all of my pets as well as stickers on the doors of my house incase of a fire or other emergency.
Where did u get them im housebound n only rarely go out for docs n hospital but they sound very useful like i could be upstairs asleep etc brilliant idea
Load More Replies...Wife and i we have almost the same type of cards in our wallets, but it mentions a doggie and a cat!
I have a provisional (hand written) one for my pet rats but am thinking of getting a proper one like this one!
Thank you with all my heart, since my husband passed and I'm completely alone, it worries me to make sure that someone could come and look at my pets. I left already economical arrangements and had told a friend where he can certain things. But tomorrow morning, I'll make a couple cards like this.
Researchers from Hungary’s ELTE Eötvös Loránd University set out to understand what really happens when people bring a pooch into their homes, so they surveyed 246 dog owners, asking them to weigh in on everything from vet bills to emotional bonds. What they discovered perfectly contextualizes these memes.
“We were interested in seeing if all these aspects of dog ownership could group together into bigger components,” said Laura Gillet, lead author and Ph.D. student at the Department of Ethology. Her team found three main dimensions to the human-dog relationship: the feel-good factors (emotional, physical, and social benefits), the challenges (negative emotions and practical difficulties), and the commitment factor (daily responsibilities and routine changes).
He is a very good boy and he is so happy. He's got a new house, and he's got kids to play with. What else is there?
God decided to send some angels down to Earth. He just removed their wings and gave them paws...
And then one day, after their appointed time on Earth or for some extraordinary deed, they earn their wings again and leave us.💔

Unless they bark a lot, like when I'm trying to go to sleep, or all day long when their owner is at work, or they come onto my farm to harass my livestock..........
German Shepherds are famously one person dogs. They love other people too but the one, is the one. She's the one!
Yeah. My GSD tolerates me but she is definitely a mommas girl
Load More Replies...Look at the way she's standing, this is so not the first time, 😂
I thought she was trying not to laugh and saying, quick take the picture
Load More Replies...The study, published a few days ago in Scientific Reports, combined two approaches to get the complete picture. First, participants rated thirty-three statements about dog ownership on a scale from highly negative (-3) to highly positive (+3). These covered a broad spectrum from “Dogs can brighten one’s life” to “Dogs can damage property.”
Then, owners shared personal sentiments about their biggest joys and challenges they experience with their pets.
IS SHE RELATED TO GUNNER?!!! The plot thickens...
Load More Replies...I think any momma who's just gotten the kiddos to sleep can understand
My dalmatians favorite thing was to pull all the stuffing out of the animal squeakers, until he got the squeaker. Then he would happily squeak it until inevitably his tooth would puncture it and it wouldn't squeak anymore. Then he would be despondent. The most ecstatic he ever was was caterpillar that had like 10 squeakers in it.
That sounds a little annoying, but hilariously funny and adorable at the same time <3
Load More Replies...Honestly, I should have thought of that considering his squeaker obsession.
Load More Replies...A couple of mine bring me things they aren't supposed to have. They always look so guilty, but I am so happy!
“These open-ended responses gave us an even better understanding of the costs and benefits,” Eniko Kubinyi, who heads the Department of Ethology at ELTE, added.
More than 60% of owners described their pets as bright spots in their lives, offering unconditional love and steadfast support during difficult times. Many also reported becoming more active and developing better daily routines thanks to their four-legged companions.
I'll be the first in buying tickets when they come to perform here in London, UK!
It's uncanny how much this looks just like a 70s album cover. You couldn't stage it better.
Because the cat is more likely up on your bed, so about to puke on your sheets/bedspread/comforter/quilt—-or you.
Load More Replies...Last time my boy made those sounds I was wearing noise cancellation headphones whilst sleeping and I still heard it and was out of bed so fast!
I have a permanently messed up ankle from jumping out of bed to try and throw a paper towel down on the carpet when I heard my cat about to puke. I didn't make it in time.
It’s doggy’s house, s9meone makes sense to lock up the kids instead.
Load More Replies...I’ve a sign in my hall as says if my dogs make you uncomfortable I’d be happy to lock you in another room ! Don’t like dogs f**k off you ain’t welcome in my house end off lol so yup that’s a perfect solution 😂
"But I thought they were coming to play with me!"
Load More Replies...My best friend Todd had a beautiful black lab named Beau, great dog, well behaved. He also had a gf I couldn't stand. She was constantly complaining about Beau shedding. Todd told her to vacuum if she was so bothered. She started arguing about it. So, Todd told her, "Newsflash. He lives here and you don't". Didn't miss her at all.
I'm often scared but my heart slow down after I'm there, and I ask people to bring them to me, and this is a great exercise to me. Sorry for the first 10 minutes guys....
Is that a lab? Waiting at the gates like a good boy? Like the best boy?!
One particularly touching finding was that dogs' relatively short lifespans ranked as the hardest part of owning them, highlighting the emotional bond owners develop with their pets.
However, while saying goodbye to them is certainly a devastating reality owners must face, the daily joy dogs bring scored highest among the positives.
Overall, the good outweighed the bad — much like that muddy paw print on your rug, which over time becomes a cherished memory.
I don't know how people's brains work to say "take a photo" instead of FUUUUUCK TURN OFF THE WATER!!! Which would be my reaction... instead of calmly putting sprinkler back outside quickly. Thank you for photo now I won't waste time and flood the house with badly panicked ideas in case this ever happens to me.
Maybe they said eff it you only live once. But thankfully tile floors don't absorb water and maybe they are used to their shenanigans.
Load More Replies...My sweet dog brought in a "gift" in the middle of the night, put it next to my bed and then she woke me up. It was like 3 am and the lights were off. I found the "gift" when I stepped on its still warm, mushy body. Y'all, stepping on and then seeing a dead mole in the middle of the night will you nightmares!
this one should've finished higher! i'd be lmao if mine did something like that (it's only water)
I live that their first instinct was to grab their phone. They must not be the one who's going to clean this up.
The financial reality hit nearly every respondent — 95% quoted money as their biggest concern, particularly veterinary expenses. The limitations on travel and social activities also stood out as a notable factor.
Overall, the research revealed an interesting parallel between dog ownership and raising kids, with many of the benefits and challenges mirroring those reported by parents—both groups often cite their relationship as providing meaning, structure, and emotional fulfillment while acknowledging the significant responsibilities and sacrifices involved.
#1 house rule- Yes, doggo ALWAYS on sofa!!! And they get 1st dibs on seat choice. But when you get up, they will still always steal your spot.
We have a sectional couch. My pups get the corner. My girl had it for 12 yrs till she passed and now our boy has claimed it. He was reluctant at first because sister's corner but once he realized he took ownership.
Load More Replies...Dam right dogs belong on the sofa and our beds ! You wouldn’t make your kids sleep on the floor now would you ! my sofa is for the dogs mostly 😂even when my 23-20 yr old kids are home from work they have the dogs sat with em as it should be !
If you want your dog on the sofa, but want to be mindfull of guests. Train your dog to lie on a blanket on the sofa, so when guests come you can offer them a relatively hair free and dog free coutch. This also mean you can place your dog on any couch that is more convenient for you, by just moving the blanket.
My brother's dog is allowed on the sofa at home, but he knows he can only get on mine if his blankie is in place, it wasn't difficult.
Load More Replies...The dogs get the sofa near the window so they can see what they're barking at, but they don't share my bed.
I wish people would stop docking their dogs' ears and tails. Unless it's a catastrophic injury there's absolutely no need.
Load More Replies...I love this picture - friends supporting friends' choices! They're all beautiful!
So matchy I'm in love with this! Also screaming baby and small dog in swim suit..wtf amazing
I have several dog bikinis that my old gray cat used to wear XD She liked wearing clothing/costumes. My current cats aren't as into it, so Wintressia's costumes are all languishing in a box. Maybe I'll have to do a photoshoot of my black cat in one of the bikinis though, because it's a riot. XD (She tolerates the costumes for short times and gets tons of treats!)
Load More Replies...Lol why can't human babies be as cute as animal babies (imo anyway)? 😂
You KNOW that if the owners named that little pupper Nugget, it'd grow up to weigh 100 lbs XD
Load More Replies...This notion is reinforced even further by another recent study that showed a whopping 84% of dog owners think of their pooch as their child.
Because of this, twice the number of dog owners also think of their pet before anyone else after a stressful day — even more than their partner (41% vs. 19%).
We are the center of their universe, though most of us do not deserve it at all.
Load More Replies...With a dog that size I'm not sure you get a vote in whether he's a lap dog. He sits wherever he wants to sit - are you going to move him?
Can't help but wonder if the humans expression is from being crushed, but they know better then to move. We have a saint Bernard and there's something familiar here.. 🤔
Agreed. Kittens - and, indeed, full grown cats - step with the gravity of a thousand suns when they walk across you.😹
Load More Replies...Technically, it's a stick which he is fetching, like a good boi should and is trained to do.
No dogs sign you say what sign I no sees it just a big stick 🤷♀️
I have to agree! What a magnificent expression!
Load More Replies...I hate to be that person, but, German ShepHERD. As in, a herding breed.
However, while most owners believe it’s perfectly acceptable for the dogs to be on the couch (70%) and on the bed (67%), a vast majority have strong feelings against their pets joining them at the dinner table (70%).
Ultimately, the thing that research and these memes demonstrate is that dog ownership is far more complex than a simple cost-benefit analysis.
would love to know which color they went with--trying to hide the fur that's shed or trying to make sure the dog doesn't disappear when on it?
Yup, if you don't, they will just keep STARING at you for the rest of the night.
My 2 German Shepherd mixes sits in front of or beside me and DROOLS, especially the male while I eat. And I mean it will drop on you if you don't make him back up. The only thing they ever gets is pizza crust or maybe bread crust from a sandwich.
My SIL's dog would stare at you while you ate. If you turned your head to look at her, she would look away " I'm NOT begging!"
All my dogs learn not to stare. Sometimes they'll be looking to the side and turn their heads to the other side with me halfway between and their eyes lock on me while their head is turning. Eventually they learn to sit with their backs to me and listen to me eat. Every time I take a bite their ears perk.
Load More Replies...Same with our cats, after they've had their treats we have to show our empty hands and say "All gone" before they believe us!
I do this with my cats! And they know what it means! :D
Load More Replies...Sadly true. Bad if even I can tell! Still smiled though
Load More Replies...Please leave a piece of pie there from time to time
I know this is really cute, but food from unknown source is potentially harmful for them. There are way too many stories of rat poison or razor blade hidden in food left for dogs that I would rather not take the chance.
Exactly. I'm rather dismayed by all the "cute" responses to this picture. A well-trained dog should not eat anything unless YOU say it's OK.
Load More Replies...Hey all humans: learn from this. Don't chase your past. Overcome your operant conditioning. Be free.
Our cat does this too. If he ever found something interesting somewhere, that spot must be checked. Even if it was 10 years ago - ya never know, might happen again. 😉
There's a drain like this across the street. My dog loves to shove his head into it. I'm like "stop it you psycho, that's where pennywise lives!"
I see raccoons using the drains as their own personal tunnel system to get around
Load More Replies...😂they been watching charmed lmao the one where the demons lived in drains n took peoples sight they saw it they thought oooooo 😂n they living it lmao love it 😂❤️
Me to no idea why but there is just something very very WRONG with them isn’t there n I’m a white witch believe in ghosts demons etc but clowns JUST NO shudders

Ah, you've been fooled, that's very rare black and white parrot
Load More Replies...You might want to increase their food intake. Maybe more walks. 😂😂
Imagine being a burglar and tip toeing around the corner and seeing that.
I presume THAT would be an instant heart attack for the cretin

He's about to rise some hell on the poor peasant who decided to interrupt in his Masters castle! And he doesn't like to take prisoners!
Yep, ours gives that look when the garage door opener operates. "Charlie's in the wire, Boss!"
Load More Replies...I had a little bichon that pretty much saw herself like this when someone was at the door. She had the sweetest nature
Tsk,Tsk, tsk,tsk! You dirty-minded lads! Person was talking about the doggie! NOT..er, you get the picture
What? This looks like the ungodly mix between a rat and a hyena..😵💫
Load More Replies...Yeah, but you know he's got to feel so much better.
Load More Replies...I have a GSD mix, and I'm pretty sure I could form an entire pack of dogs from his fur when I brush him XD
Load More Replies...It's a universal truth that small dogs think they're big and big dogs think they're small.
There are dogs everywhere - whos playing that they're all so stoked to fanboy/girl out?
Office life would be so much better if we all took turns bringing our pets to work!
We're not allowed to take our dogs into the building but we have two roving support dogs, which you can book sessions with
Load More Replies...Is there any other way to work? I can't concentrate without my dawg on my lap!
OMG LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU SWEET LITTLE TEEFY BOOP BOOP SHNUGGY SHOO
I laughed so hard at this i though my coffee was coming out of my nose
Dam right it will lol even here in uk if I see anyone washing their car I’m like ok it’s gonna rain laters lol
Load More Replies...And that's why their hair is so smooth! Mud has his magical qualities
I was recently shocked to learn that hyenas aren't canines.
Nope. It would be more accurate to call them very derived civets! https://youtu.be/LE6P1i7a7q0?si=XykwcwFxKrnbf9-d
Load More Replies...Let them on the couch. Get a covering for the couch that can be washed and you're good and so is the dog.
Forget the covering! You think the texture of the covering is as 'satisfying' as the couch itself? Peeshaw!
Load More Replies...I'm sorry, but my doggies live in my house and therefore are entitled to sit on the couch! It is OUR house, not just mine!
Mine to I have throws on my sofa nd on my bed specifically for the dogs lol all fluffy soft cuddly throws to dogs belong on beds n sofas right
Load More Replies...I have a sofa that came with a chaise lounge. Guess who has the entire lounge?
The number of times I’ve told friends/romantic partners “he lives here, you don’t” when they complain or make a face about my dog’ sprawling on the couch or woofing at squirrels.
People complain about *your* dog sitting on *your* couch? That's wild.
Load More Replies...Eugh bad dog owner let your dog on the dam sofa and you bed ! You wouldn’t make your kids sleep on the floor now would you !
Your dog is only part of your life. To your dog, you're the entire world. They want to be close to you. Let them on the couch!
Awwwwww omg omg omg he looks so ashamed of himself cutest thing ever
Nah, that's not shame. He's in that moment where you wake up from a really good nap and can't figure out what year it is.
Load More Replies...We used to have a Bichon. She was always so ashamed when she came home from the groomer looking like this
I never got mine tripped like that, we went for a puppy cut. She dragged half the plantlife within range indoors with her in her fur as it was. I'd have spent my entire life pulling things out of her fur with the teddy bear cut.
Load More Replies...There are groomers, and there are groomers. Ya win some, ya loose some.
Oh somebody was naughty and needs a bath outside with the hose. No way that dog would come inside for a bath after doing that.
My white German Shepherd used to love playing in the black swamp mud. He always came home clean. I am sure he swam in the irrigation canal to take his own bath.
Labs are my absolute fave dogs! Our first chocolate lab was named Buddy--I miss him every day! We now have a girl chocolate lab named Maple.
Black dogs are my favorite. My Zoe is mostly black.
Load More Replies...I had a dog who used to rest his muzzle next to the handbrake. A couple of times I was distracted and there was a yelp of surprise.
It's been bloody hot in Australia, I want to be at that lovely place right now.
I once had a haircut that could be best described as Afghan hound. This reminded me of that.
Hahahahaha you should have at least taken one how she wanted it and then showed her this hilarity
its not about how "cute" they are, its about how much life is endless suffering for them...!
Load More Replies...😂😂😂😂yup nope no way in hell I can pick my two up 😂 the poo however yes freaking pick it up already lol
Only works in British English if I'm not mistaken. Don't Americans pronounce it "boo-eey" instead of "boy"? Can any of my American linguistic brethren (preferably with seafaring experience) confirm?
We do say "boo-ey," but I still felt like it worked.
Load More Replies...My dog absolutely loves going to the vet. So naturally every vet comes out to be greated like a best friend when they know Brodin is in the building. He's a veterinerian support dog.
My GSD mix loves going to the vet too! He had distemper as a puppy, so we spent a LOT of time at vet appts, neurological specialists, the emergency vet, and so on. Everyone thought Stilgar wouldn't make it (distemper's fatality rate is 80%-90% in puppies) so everyone on staff always fussed over him extra. He came to realize that going to the vet meant tons of extra attention XD He survived distemper and just recently turned 3 years old, and is STILL an absolutely unapologetic attention-sponge!
Load More Replies...No dude you will not catch the squizzer ! Leave em alone got it !
When people ask about what it's like owning a Vizsla. I I showed them this picture or the one with a Vizsla on top of the chain link fence in the kennel.
Load More Replies...I have one like this of mine trying to break into my bedroom. He is usually welcome but I was intent on completing my Friends Gingerbread kit without him mailing it mid-creation.
No peesha for pups, please! Garlic and onion are toxic for the bebes.
Do not feed dogs pizza ! The base contains onions highly toxic to dogs like deathly toxic
Yeah! Just like my bodyguard and the cat, their attack comes from different directions trying to conquer their goal with the pizza!
My tuxedo cat will absolutely walk up to you while you are eating and will SLAP food out of your hand/off of your fork in order for him to steal it XD He sometimes is so quick that I don't even have time to react. If there's anything dangerous in the food I'm eating (garlic, onions, etc.) I have to shut him in a bedroom or eat standing up XD
Load More Replies...One of my dogs had distemper as a puppy, and while he survived, he's fairly neurologically disabled - he has mobility and balance issues and has constant, non-stop myoclonus (full-body twitching.) He can eat normally and plays and runs like a normal dog, but I've often wondered what I'd do if I had to go somewhere (I don't take vacations, but like if an emergency happened.) I don't know who I'd trust to care for him, or if it would be better to board him at the vet's who have known him his whole life, etc. XD My mom used to feed my cat pretzels and rice with teriyaki sauce, so I'm not sure she'd be a good candidate for watching after my dog XD
Load More Replies...Like unless it’s my two kids 23-20 sorry not happening end off that said I never trusted anyone to baby sit my kids either lol
Some say....A lot of MotoGp teams want that doggie as their numero 1 rider!
Reminds me of my old GSD - she used to sit on the passenger seat of my van (she went nearly everywhere with me) and she was a BIG girl XD ember_sitt...10d564.jpg
😂😂😂 my old rottie lmao a German one aka freaking huge n could reach counter tops without jumping up lol decided that as I’d left kitchen to take my kids their steaks in that mine was fair game 😂
That would be my van windows and the window over the couch and the French doors. All of my windows are the same level as the one over the kitchen sink. I'm happy about that for security reasons, my front door was kicked in 1 time and the other time my house was broken into they couldn't kick in the door because of how my husband fixed it so 1 guy boosted the other over the deck rail and a brick was thrown through the old sliding door. Those jerks cost me almost $2000 to have the French doors put in and a security system. This was almost 20 years ago and only an idiot would try to break in now with 80 and 98 lb German Shepherds in my house.
My dogs don't really go in for the "nose art", but the side doors of my van (the plastic handrests/windowsills) are marked with my dogs' "tooth art" from when they were puppies XD (GSD/Kuchi Dog mix and a Belgian Malinois.)
Load More Replies...My windows were always smeared at the bottom because I had Wire Haired Terriers. We called nose art "pupkis".
Unless you had dogs all your life n worked with vets in rescue n your 60 now lol but yes if in doubt google it
Load More Replies...Thats what you get when you pit your dog in a cage. Why are people doing this? Is that some trend i have missed? Dogs should not be treated like this
There are a few reasons for that.You can check on any behaviorist or trainer YT channel. But always you have to train the dog with little steps how to do it correctly.
Load More Replies...Anxiety and stress will do that. Plus the cage is way too small. I hate cages anyway. If dogs are left on their own too long, this is what happens. They're social animals and need company
We gave up on using the crate after several bed mats became unrecognizable. Now he sleeps with me. And we're both happy.
When I saw this on another thread, I said the same thing: Looks like Gollum had a good Christmas
It remotely funny pugs are over bred in bred to the point of cruelty !nothing cute about cruel !
So cute, but please don't feed grapes to your dog. They are toxic.
