40 Dogs That Committed Such Wicked Acts, Their Owners Couldn’t Help But “Shame” Them (New Pics)
InterviewDogs might just be our best friends, both directly and indirectly, from family pets to the carnivores who helped our ancestors not starve. But this doesn't mean they won’t find their own ways to misbehave.
The “Dog Shaming” Twitter account is dedicated to sharing the misdeeds of our furry friends with the internet. We also reached out to dog blogger Ellen Ross and Belgian Malinois training account Jayda & Anais to learn more about dogs and their behavior. So get comfy and be sure to upvote your favorites as you scroll through.

"carrot eaters anonymous?! Ha! wait until next year!"
Load More Replies...Mine ate all the raspberries. I was wondering why I have no fruit on the plant.. I was watering it also saw the little berries growing, but then they were gone. Also my mom confronted me why we eat it all and leave her nothing. I was confused. But one day I just saw Moses (german boxer) pinching the berries with his teeth perfectly and eating it...
OMG! I feel this XD My dog (German Shepherd/Kuchi Dog mix) eats all of the boysenberries and blackberries right off of my vines and canes. The boysenberries have thorns, but they don’t stop him!
Load More Replies...My two boys harvested all the tomatoes and nearly all the cucumbers; no fence can stop them.
I bet the soft can-openers didn't see that coming.
When I was a kid, my family had a dog that would chew on the squash.
First time is the dogs fault....second time is the human's fault. l mean, if you know the dog chews the remote why don't you make sure to place it in an area he can't reach??
You have to be smarter than the animal you are trying to train....
Load More Replies...Sheet, I've had to replace 7 remotes in the last two years. After the 4th one we were much more diligent, but my young nieces and nephews will set one down and zip!. Sprout doesn't eat them per se, he likes to chew them apart and leave the pieces in my daughter's bed.
When you're trying to be mad at your dog but you just can't be because of the cute face
Who butchered that poor dogs ears? Some fool who wanted their dog to look dangerous? Some dogs can’t help having immature fools for owners.
Oh nooooo I thought they were just pointing back... because he's got the puppy eyes with the ears down
Load More Replies...Bored Panda reached out to the blogger, dog owner, and advice-giver Ellen Ross to learn her insights and experiences with dog content and dog behavior in general. Firstly, we wanted to know why she thought people love seeing dogs online. “I think dog content is so popular online because it’s so relatable. Whether it’s just seeing or sharing cute pups or seeking advice on medical issues or managing finances for pet-related expenses, we can all relate and we can all help each other.”
“I’ve had dogs for 18 years now since I was just 19. I think when getting their first puppy, first-time dog owners should understand that potty training takes patience and understanding and that they should definitely budget for yearly vet costs as well as allow for emergencies and of course factor in the cost to spay/neuter.”
I am so thankful there are no skunks by me. So so thankful. Both my dogs are part hound with one of them constantly treeing squirrels. The Oldman has only ever managed to snag a tail in his 8 years but the youngin at nearly 3 bagged his first squirrel the other day; I was not thrilled.
A tip if your dog does get skunked. A blend of baking soda, hydrogen peroxide (tiny bit, because this stuff isn't good because it kills good cells), and dish soap (Dawn is my go to). Make the liquid, put the dog in the bath with temperate water (not to hot, not too cold) and wash. If your dog has potential for dry skin, get some dog safe condition (NOT human conditioner). Tomato juice dose absolutely nothing.
Thanks for the tip. I agree, tomato juice does nothing for skunk spray...think the tomato soup guys made up that myth...
Load More Replies...Our Australian terrier took on skunks twice. NOTHING makes the smell go away quickly. Eye-stingingly vicious.
My cat screwed with a skunk twice as well. I had to bath him in our shower cuz he was feral at the time. To this day he will politely ask for us to open the shower door so he can sit in it and give himself a bath. So dang cute!
Load More Replies...Canada's not the one with the sign.
Load More Replies...Better than "I ate my Granny and now the passport's stuck in Canada".
Well, the soft can-openers will just have to buy more treats.
Oh, boy: some good is going to have some significant digestive issues in the next few days!!
Awww I have a kitty named taco! And, another named Pizza! What a sweet thing miss Olive is.
Of course, even experienced wonders will still encounter dogs that really do have a mind of their own. “I have plenty of funny dog misbehavior stories because I have chihuahuas, small size but big personalities. And in a group (I call them my Wolfpack)it’s fun to see their roles and behavior. My alpha females are always tattle tales and if someone misbehaves (sometimes after the alphas instigate it) they’ll immediately run over to alert me that someone’s being naughty. Having senior dogs mixed with young dogs is also pretty entertaining. The seniors will try to play with the rest of the pack in their own slow-paced way.“
This is Murphy's Law! Pizza falls on the right (or wrong, whatever) side, it's mine.
Why would he feel shame? What a silly soft can-opener.
My dogs absolutely love pizza, three sets of eyes staring into my soul as I try to eat...
Load More Replies...Was that cat showing their opinion that pineapple doesn't belong on pizza, or did they like the pineapple on the pizza so much they couldn't resist?
Load More Replies...Bidets are so much nicer and clean so much better than toilet paper. I'm grateful we had toilet paper too since there are six of us in the house.
And her poops will smell (slightly) like banana.
Load More Replies...You check...I'll be over here...supervising...from a distance....LOL
Load More Replies...“I’ve lost 3 of my original chihuahuas and currently have 3 right now. Owning dogs is very rewarding but it’s a commitment and you have to consider them family members. There will be health scares, and there will be grief, but in the end, it’s worth it and the reward of having them in my life outweighs anything else.” You can find Ellen’s Instagram here, and her advice blog here.
I think this one is the humans’ fault. The poor guy was purposely left alone in the house to see what he would do while they were gone. Also, he didn’t know the garage door had an alarm on it.
I agree. That poor dog could have been arrested! Seriously, they should have watched via Ring or some such, and stayed VERY nearby to keep a very close eye on things.
Load More Replies...We had a cat do that once. Didn't make sure the garage door was latched, and the cat got it open.
Our dogs unattended will pee and poop downstairs despite the doggy door and just lay on the couch.
Well, it’s kind of your owners fault for allowing you to roam free. So, you shouldn’t be in trouble, they should! 😃
I'm pretty sure there are four eggs remaining in the basket. I guess it was an even dozen to start.
Load More Replies...Try having a 6 week old litter of lab puppies eating all 10, YES 10, of your jalapeño and Serrano pepper plants. Poor puppies had to stay outside for a week (in May, with ceiling fan on patio) . The runs and farms were epic! Even their mom didn't want to be around them the first 3 days!
A friend's beagle once got ahold of a poopy diaper from the garbage and proceeded to drag it all over the yard and roll in it. SO disgusting! That's only thing in a long list of crimes the dog committed. :)
Beagles are crazy about smells! Mine finds something new and discussing to roll in every other day. She's been trying to hunt bunnies all week and when they inevitably outsmart her, she rolls in their poo pellet piles!
Load More Replies...My dog found and rolled in a dead Muskrat. I feel this owners pain.
Literally just caught my 6 month old pup rolling on the carpet. Looked suspiciously like he was rolling *in* something not just *on* the carpet. Checked it out, yeah he'd been outside and found a worm, brought it inside and dropped it on the carpet before rolling on it. Gotta roll in comfort...
Ugh! Every time my dog got loose when I was a kid... straight to the dumpsters behind the fish market!
Is this the dog that also likes ripping gutters off the side of the house?
Worst still, hedgehog poo! Oh sweet mercy. Fishy but with hint of slugs and worms.. Rank.
I had a pittie that once rolled in another dog's poop while we were on a walk and a long way from the house. It was really soaked in by the time we got home 🤢🤢🤢🤢
We also got in touch with an account dedicated to training the Belgian Malinois and educating the public about them. Jayda & Anais were kind enough to speak about their experience, so we wanted to know what prompted them to focus on this particular topic. “I started my page after realizing the controversy revolving around the Belgian Malinois breed. At the time, I had just brought home my first dog, Jayda, a Belgian Malinois.”
How to Apologise for Killing a Cat: Rhetoric and the Art of Persuasion
Load More Replies...Truth. That's not a regretful face. That's a mad face.
Preacher (cat) ate Stilly’s anti-seizure medication once because the pill was in a pill pocket. 10-pound cat ate a pill that was meant to dose a 55-pound dog. Preacher also had no regrets. He is just mad that no one leaves the pill pockets out on the counter for 2.5 seconds any more.
Load More Replies...Fun fact: Morkies don't bark like other dogs. The sound they make can best be described as 'Nanu nanu'.
Suggestion: put the feces in a ziplock bag with some water and 'wash' it that way from the outside...thats what I did when I had to check vomit or feces for interesting things.
Imagine being the poor jeweler who had to clean that. Finally a worse story then how I got raw ground beef in my ring!
I hope she was taken to the vet to prevent internal damage from the sharp earring.
It's one of those instances where early intervention is likely to be more harmful. An earring is so small it's better to let it pass if it's going to. Fishing it out will be a last resort with a tiny thing.
Load More Replies...“The breed wasn't very common and there was a lot of controversy circling on the internet. And even though I had researched the breed before getting Jayda, I felt there was a lack of authentic information that would've made the whole process easier. So, I decided to create my page to educate people about this amazing breed and help guide people through their decision to get a Malinois.”
I know that photo is old but an fyi for other pet owners; yeast can be deadly for doggos!
Oh! I know this is old but fyi for other pet owners- yeast is very dangerous for doggos!
How did they unwrap the mints? Half the time I can't do it, and I have opposable thumbs.
One of my Aussie's once ate an entire tin of Christmas chocolate, but was good enough to leave me the wrappers lol
So is chocolate but my Aussie has gotten into a bag of chocolate and ate the entire thing. 5lb bag of chocolate that was sitting on top of the fridge..still don't know how tf he got to it.
Load More Replies...This was probably at my vacation rental. No pets policy but dog hair everywhere
We also were curious to hear their thoughts on why this sort of content was so popular in the first place. “I think dog content is so popular for a few reasons. First, the online dog community can be so helpful and encouraging. I've made so many friends since creating my page and people are always congratulating us on Jayda's progress and giving advice when we're struggling. Dog content is also popular because who doesn't want to watch cute dog videos at the end of the day? People love watching dogs just being dogs!”
My dog one got kicked out of one when he was a puppy due to his separation anxiety. He’s better now though.
Load More Replies...Not necessarily though usually is the case. My one guy is just a jerk and found destroying beds to be the most fun; he's obsessed with pulling out stuffing. I've spent so much money on toys and so much time playing and engaging him and he's just a dïck that loves to destroy and eviscerate
Load More Replies...Jayda & Anais shared their final thoughts on dog content in general: “Dog and pet-related content is also an income stream for many pet owners. Influencer marketing has been proven to be an extremely profitable marketing strategy, especially among pet owners. Many brands are willing to give free products and even pay pet accounts to promote their brand.” You can find their Facebook here, Youtube channel here, and TikTok here.
If you left a husky alone and unoccupied long enough for that, that's on you. They're beautiful, but much like border collies, they're diabolical geniuses with no off switch, and if you don't give them something to do, they'll alleviate their boredom in ways you might not appreciate.
They are a working breed with tons of endurance. They need daily exercise and activities or they will find ways to entertain themselves. This damage looks like separation anxiety, trying to escape and find his humans.
We just had to replace the weather stripping on the door as our youngest pup shredded it.
Stilgar sometimes excited-poops too XD One time I took him back home for my mom to see him and he got so excited to see her that he laid a nice stank-log on her kitchen rugs. Zero regrets, 10/10, hope he does it again - my mom repeatedly told me to “put him to sleep and get a new one” when he was sick as a puppy.
I think Stilgar knows more than you think and it's NOT a nervous poop
Load More Replies...Can I just say I had a much beloved and missed Black lab called Monty, who just loved pooping in water...we lived at the beach and used to go swimming in the river nearby and that boy just loved the bidet freshness of an underwater poo...
My cat likes to wipe her butt on the carpet after she poops. We are not amused by the behavior. (She doesn't have worms, she's just too lazy to lick her own a$$ sometimes)
Agreed. That face does not look upset about it.
Load More Replies...Hmm, I wonder if this is the other way round. My dogs howl if they hear an alarm (or siren). Maybe something set the alarm off, which set them off.
Hotdogs shouldn't be in the trash going to waste anyways...so good girl I guess :)
At least this dog has the decency to look ashamed - a cat would have a proud smirk on it's face.
They do, all the time, doesn't matter what has happened, or will happen given the chance, cats are naturally smirking. They do it every day. It's an art form. It should be allowed in the Olympics only no one else would ever win anything. Cats and dogs are the best 😻🐶
Load More Replies...I would laugh harder -- but our little redhaired dear slipped a burger out of the doggie bag and ate it -- in about 10 seconds. Maybe it was the "doggie bag" part...
Hey. Us Slytherins are happy to have such a chaotic friend. Not getting caught is best, but if you can't be sly, be chaotic!
Exactly, and in addition to getting a chaotic friend we also get a cute doggo!
Load More Replies...Imagine how horrible it would have been if it were the last half of the 7th book...
Whaddaya mean, banished to Slytherin? We’re awesome, and now even more awesome for the addition of this doggo here
Come here my love we will happily take your dloofy face with ALL your destruction
I can’t be mad at the dog but I sort of want to because I hate it when books get ruined, but they’re so cute you can’t be mad at them
That's now a hobby for him and his dad 😂
Load More Replies...How the heck is the dog accessing the house gutters? Who is in control?
Visiting my grand parents for the first time in years. Their great dane puppy came over and sat on my lap while I was on the couch. I was really flattered until she let out the nastiest fart right on my lap. She walked away once she was done.
Holy c**p! I thought Ringo was the only dog to do that. He used to randomly pee in Mischief's bowl. No idea why, might be months between offenses, they were fed and treated the same, never caught her being "mean" to him, no real idea what triggered it each time.
This is such a dachshund thing! Mine used to do this too. Learned real quick to use a hamper.
My whippet puppy does the same for socks
Load More Replies...If I leave ANYTHING out my husband's dachshund/lab mix will eat a hole in it. She has also destroyed all of our couch cushions so they reside in the office.
If it were plugged in when he chewed the cord he would be a cinder pup.
As a puppy my Maltese/Mini foxy Mischief did this to a plugged in and powered on airconditioner. I knew something was wrong because I was sitting at the computer and my power went out. Checked the fuses and they were ok but the safety switch was tripped. Flipped it on and it tripped immediately, so I did a a check through the house. Found the severed (by chewing) power cord, Mischief was perfectly fine. The moral of this story is get a safety switch, they really do save lives, even small furry ones.
Load More Replies...Why, oh why do they do this?! You give them excellent food, treats, etc and they root through the trash to eat that. UGH.
This isn’t funny, ‘she went berserk.’ Leads me to envision someone being very angry or upset. The other posts seemed to come from a playful and gentle place.
My cat does that, But I'm pretty sure she's actually trying to kill me so she can eat my dead body after I break my neck. ;)
For a minute I thought this was some bad photoshop. I had to go back and look at the caption.
I believe you meant one of their fools. 😜 But I agree, it's very nice.
Load More Replies...Aww poor baby, you can't help you are near sighted with your cute little nose roll 🥰 But I feel her pain, my block headed pittie fractured my nose the same way. TWICE!
I believe I would be getting you a new friend so I could get my sleep. ❤x2
I would be totally ok with that! Let someone else get rid of it!
She should try having her soft can-opener bring home a crazy kitten.
Load More Replies...Our dog used to do this. But she did it because she wanted to chase the Amish's horses, not to pee.
🤣🤣🤣 smart! That would DEFINITELY get me scrambling to get you out too!
Been there! Pitties took turns eating my brand new, first one ever bought as an adult, couch. Looked just like this one, too!
This one is bad owner, not dog. It's illegal and dangerous to allow your dog to do this- not to mention the panic it places on the deer.
It's not illegal everywhere but you're right in that it's a bad owner.
Load More Replies...But you are beautiful and have the cutest little feet so it's all ok! 😍
This may be the least "bad" one so far! And look at that face! ❤
Been here too. $100 beds mean nothing to my boy. But he's so big they all cost that much, no matter the brand. 😫
Those eyes! Reminds of that one ex-con who got a modeling contract after prison!
Stole 1/2 pound of seasoned fajita steak, per OP.
Load More Replies...Not my dog, but my Grandma's once decided it was a good idea to jump into a cupboard lock itself in there for an hour and take ONE bite out of everything. JUST ONE bite. Never two, never three, never even one and a half. JUST ONE, OUT OF EVERYTHING.
I don't care...dogs are the best and these were so freaking funny
I'm usually not a fan of dog shaming (they literally don't care) but these mostly seem to be in good humor and not a punishment. I like those.
They're literally all in good humor. The entire concept is based on it being a humorous thing to do. I don't think anyone, anywhere, ever thinks the dogs actually feel ashamed or even understand what's going on. It's a joke.
Load More Replies...I remember when my youngest dog ate ant poison. He didn't eat a lot, so he was fine.
My last dog was a rescue who had been mistreated, which gave him a bit of OCD. We never left him alone for hours on end, but when we would leave him for a couple of hours (to go grocery shopping, et al) if he got anxious, he would go into the bathroom, pull a tissue out of the trash and go tear it up into the tiniest pieces, but in one pile, so it could be picked up all at once. When we would get home, if he greeted us wagging his tail, we knew no paper. If when we came in the door and he would slink off, we knew there would be paper at the end of the dining room table! He also always tore up the paper in the exact same spot, which couldn't be seen from the door.
List of devoted things…7 pairs of shoes in a week. A door frame. A large tin of walkers Scottish shortbread. A large tin of Belgian chocolate cookies. 6 dog beds. Throw pillows. Area rugs. Raw bison burgers AND beef burgers. Plastic plates. I stick of butter. Comforters folded for them to lie on. Books. Magazines. Packages tossed over the fence. Too many more to list. We are cross/amused on a regular basis. But we love our assorted clan - past and present - to pieces. I won’t mention the cats shenanigans! 🙄
Part of the reason I named my dog Mischief is because of stuff like in this post. As I mentioned above she chewed through a (live) power cord, chewed a bunch of random things, ate stuff she wasn't supposed to. I also made the mistake of putting a brand new, just opened box of face tissues on the floor in the bathroom while I cleaned and forget to put them back. Went out for about an hour and came back to a house that looked like it'd snowed. She'd pulled every single tissue out and spread them through the *entire* house - 100 triple ply tissues. I had to admire her determination on that one. Also managed to escape through a gap in the fence no bigger round than a coke can when she was a puppy. And as an adult drag literal full sized bricks away from the bottom of the fence to escape.
I hate idiots who think dog shaming is ok BUT PEOPLE shaming isnt. A dog is only as good as the owner who trains them. Dog shits on the carpet put the stupid owner mugshot up. Society used to shame idiots now they are celebrating them on tik tok.
What are you talking about. A lot of dog shaming posts seem to be about finding humor in the dog's shennanigans, not making them feel bad (they can't read the signs). In some cases there can be issues but we dont know and we don't know what humans are doing about it. We don't know the dogs' life histories. Sometimes dogs can chew things because they're lacking in enrichment, because they're bored or stressed. That's definitely something people should look into. But sometimes dogs will chew things because they get curious or detect a new smell or something. And even if the dog is doing it due to anxiety or stress, if people are doing their best to help their dog it can still take time... and meanwhile it's best if they don't get angry at the dogs imo.
