50 Of The Most Hilarious, Cute And Wholesome Posts On X About Dogs

To learn more about how hilarious dogs can be, we got in touch with Jenny from D for Dog, a popular pet supply shop in the UK. Jenny was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda and discuss what makes dogs such special animals.

“Dogs are amazing and loyal companions. They will be by your side for all life's important events,” Jenny says. “I would never live a life without dogs. They always give way more than they take. Dogs really are my favorite people.”

Jenny shared that 20 years ago, she adopted two dogs and started her website, D for Dog. “Me and my mutts were the first attempt at social media. I painstakingly scanned photos and learnt html. What we do for the love of dogs,” she said with a laugh. “It is much easier to chat online to other dog owners now, thankfully.”

“I have adopted many dogs over the years, and I still run D for Dog. I also do dog sitting in my spare time, so I literally live, sleep and breathe dogs,” Jenny revealed. “I have had the pleasure of sharing my time with some of the best, most loving and funniest dogs you could ever hope to meet. From lion-taming Chihuahuas to German Shepherds who run away from kittens, I have met and loved them all.”

We also asked Jenny about dogs having their own senses of humor. “Personally, I love a cheeky dog. Terriers never fail to make me laugh,” she shared. “They definitely do things to get a reaction. Their zest for life is unrivalled, and they are so determined when they set their minds on something.”

“One of my terriers once went missing at the kennels. They found him on the flat roof of the outhouse, watching the frantic search with glee,” Jenny revealed. “Cheeky boy!”

“Another of my terriers, Berkeley, a beautiful boy as white as snow, once took a fancy to next door’s bunny rabbit (who was safely caged, I might add),” Jenny told Bored Panda. “Berkeley climbed our tree, used next door’s BBQ to break his fall (turning it on as he went) and was found watching Mr. Snuffles through the bars with definite intent.”

But even if they get annoying at times, Jenny says that you can’t ever be mad at a dog. “They never do things with malice or evil intent. They really are amazing in every way. And unlike humans, dogs never hold a grudge,” she explained. “Their love for us is truly unconditional.”

“Thinking about it though, my terrier Spadge did once refuse a tasty treat after being left home alone. Imagining his furry 'sister' had been out on a jolly, he was miffed with us and wasn’t shy to show it,” she added. “Of course, he had no idea that Zena had been to the vets to have a carrier bag removed from her bottom after she misjudged its nutritional value on a walk.”

There’s no question that dogs are special creatures. “Dogs can be cute, funny, mischievous, soppy, testing, loving, loyal and um… noisy,” Jenny shared with a laugh. “They also cause varying degrees of mess and chaos whilst shedding fur over all your belongings... But they are worth every minute of our care and attention.”

“I am one of those people who say they want a break occasionally but will then accost strangers with dogs, asking to pet them... The dogs, not the strangers,” she clarified. “Only a dog (and pasta) can make the day better, am I right!”

Jenny also admits that she’s not a strict dog mom. “We definitely have a free for all 'rule' in our house. I am a big believer in letting my dogs share my space,” she noted. “My favorite parts of the day are morning cuddles on the bed and evening pile-ons on the sofa. My Bedlington Terrier never used to leave my side, even when I took a bath.”

“He wanted to experience it all and, despite my best efforts, was partial to bars of soap. He once had suspiciously fresh and floral breath, so I opened his mouth and discovered a small bar of soap wedged in the roof of his mouth,” she revealed. “He was going boss-eyed trying to remove it with his soapy little tongue. I challenge anyone to keep a straight face over things like that.”

And if you’re looking for a dog of your own, Jenny is a firm believer in the "adopt don't shop" mantra. “There are so many dogs in rescues who need homes. I have adopted all sorts of dogs over the years including a deaf Jack Russell, a dog with mammary cancer, and my great goofball Zena who is a front leg amputee,” she shared. “I had to laugh as one of my friends, on learning of this adoption, said ‘Of all the dogs needing homes, I see you struggled to find a complete one.’”

But Jenny says that missing a leg isn’t a problem for Zena at all. “A much bigger issue is the fact that she is a complete fool,” she added with a laugh. “But the great thing about adopting an adult dog is that I already knew that. She might be a fool but she is my fool. Hands off, she is coming home with me!”
