40 Of The Most Hilarious And Wholesome Dog Thoughts, As Shared By This Twitter Account (New Pics)
From barks to expressive eyebrows and a powerful side eye, our furry friends have a variety of ways to attempt communication with us. Sometimes we notice and sometimes we remain blissfully unaware that a dangerous stranger (the mailman) is attacking our territory (they walked past the yard.)
This Twitter account tries to condense all we know about dog behavior and give us some insight into what our pets might think and, more importantly, what they probably wish they could tell us. So scroll down and maybe read these out loud to your dog to get their perspective. Be sure to upvote your favorite ‘thoughts of dog,’ and If you want to see some, click here.

To paraphrase Agnes Turnbull, the only fault any dog will ever have is that they do not live long enough.
All that mess on someone's foot! If the soft can-openers aren't smart enough to remember us, let THEM do something messy about it! *washes her paws in sympathy*
So that's how those happen... Workers having a laugh... I have some of these in my neighborhood, they are quite cute, but they get mildew and become slippery, so I wouldn't want them at my house.
You wash the paw afterwards, it's the same as putting in handprints. I'm blessed with the prints of a good boy and a good girl on the structure I'm building :)
Load More Replies..."Outside feet". I love it. I've always wondered what dogs think clothes are.
Idk, but the first time I took my glasses off in front of my cat, she looked at me like I was a wizard.
Load More Replies...My parents' pom, Murphy, had a vet whose office was a block away from a McDonald's. Murphy would start shivering as soon as they drove past that specific McDonald's, and only that specific McDonald's. When he saw that one, he knew where he was going.
It is funny how any one of those things can pique a dog’s interest, but only by putting them together does it get them really excited.
Outside feet is right on-- and the dog seeing even an ordinary walk or a trip to the supermarket as an ADVENTURE is real dog psychology. It's what they bring to our lives. Their excitement. "Dogs do everything for the first time."
Wrong, he must bear the incredible weight of repeated pats
Wrong. With great cuteness comes the need to make sure the humans see the great cuteness at all times, especially when the humans have tasty food to share.
YES!! BUT, can someone, ANYONE PLEASE telle how to get rid of that new bar at the bottom that says "Homepage" on one side and "next in......." What ever category I'm in on the other? It drives me nuts!!! ALSO the scroll has become less smooth. I am not a happy camper!!!
According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, more than a third of US households (38.4%) own at least one dog. In the chatter of family life, or just hanging out with roommates and other people, dogs have developed the ability to recognize not just words and phrases but even emotional tones of voice. In a classic case of personification, we then attribute certain emotions and ideas back onto them, allowing us to basically have one-way conversations that feel like a real discussion.
Some researchers even believe that dogs can sense our mood even if we remain silent. Now, a regularly talkative person remaining silent is already an indicator of a non-standard emotional state, but dogs are capable of understanding when we are sad, tired, stressed, and excited. That being said, some dogs have limited social intelligence and will still think that playing fetch is a great idea even if their master appears exhausted. Which is honestly not that far from interacting with some humans without social grace.
If only. You're so pure, no worries and stress, being so dang happy all the time. You just need foods and loves
I've tried that, I got weird looks and backstabbing from my ex co workers and calls into the office agh I'm glad they fired me now that I think about it.
You are so right doggo, but we humans have som much to think about, that we often forget.
When my dog gets the zoomies he gets my kid all excited and they both run around the house like 2 nuts
fun fact there is a scientific name for zoomies :frenetic random activity periods (FRAPs). (thanks cornell university)
Sorry, zoomies is better. (Zone out of mental inactivity, enable speed.)
Load More Replies...We call Oscar's zoomie time "racing piggy" because he used to do it with his squeaky pig in his mouth (squeaky pig was destroyed long ago). He also does this weird little snorting thing when he gets the zoomies so definitely piggy!
Zoomies!!! My boy is such an idiot he dented our fence coz of zoomies
When I was in college in the 90s my puppy was doing laps around the dining room table that I was working at. He snagged the power cord and unplugged the computer costing me a couple of hours of work on a paper I was writing (the computer was old and I hadn't saved to disk for a bit). I consider it the modern version of "the dog ate my homework". :-D It didn't take me long to rewrite what I lost and I found it funny then and still do to this day.
This is the worst thing I've come across after trying to quit caffeine
Load More Replies...It is good to have company and protection. In the darkest nights and the brightest days, Doggo protects, and then they plays
This 100% reminds me of my best boy Rusty. I lost him just about a year ago. He was my best friend for almost 14 years. He was always at my side and we had some amazing adventures. There will never be another like him.
I am never doing it alone. Doggo is 15, got dementia and he is my shadow...
Despite relatively poor eyesight, dogs can also learn gestures. This can range from specific non-verbal orders to the personalized gesticulations of an individual. Canine owners already know just how important eye contact is to a dog, and they are able to recognize elements of your mood just from that. They are also capable of understanding where you might be looking based on your pupils, not the orientation of your head. In general, your dog learns most behavioral norms from their owner, so if your pet misbehaves, you might only be able to blame yourself.
Just give doggo own serving of food. Small serving, safe serving
As long as it doesn’t contain onions and grapes and raisins
Load More Replies...Every Sunday Cleo gets her own Sunday dinner. Mashed potatoes made with lactose free milk, a couple of small roast potatoes, a spoonful of mixed veg and a chopped up piece of roast meat topped with salt free gravy. Her favourite is minted lamb
Oh yeah we’ve come up with a ton of names for them. The current winner is the Tinkle Times, but there’s also the Piddle Post, the Daily Dump, the Daily Deuce, the Sunday Shìt, the Crapper, and Hydrant News
Load More Replies...I have always said this! And when my doggos mark the same area after sniffing… they are posting their responses.
Yup. Doggo snufflin' is basically Facebook for dogs. Facewoofs. *Sniff sniff* Old Ben has been eating spicy food again, won't he ever learn? *Sniff sniff* Princess is pregnant... again *Sniff sniff* George the town drunk was here. I don't like sniffing his territory markers
Nooooooo the sniffs are so much better than social media! Dogs love walking with me because I stop to smell the flowers as often as they stop to sniff.
Read the doggi-newspaper (translated from danish: hundeavisen) it is really important!
I don't have a problem with the sniffing, but really? Every five seconds.
I blame whoever was mean to the clouds, therefore causing them to cry, therefore causing rain, therefore causing mud
Load More Replies...I was walking my dog once right after a rainstorm & I came across this woman watching her long haired white bichon turning itself completely black with mud as it absolutely destroyed the hell out of a large puddle. I don't think I've ever seen a happier dog, & the woman was laughing so hard at his antics.
I love when the fancier dogs do things like this! I'm glad his human had fun with him.
Load More Replies...For most pet owners, their dog is an integral part of their everyday life. Besides feeding and walking them, we also tend to talk to them. Some people go even further and even practice ostensibly human activities with their canines. Dog yoga, or doga, is where a dog and its owner perform yoga poses together. While it seems unlikely that the pet gets any particular amount of enlightenment from the activity, dog owners know that their fuzzy friend loves to feel involved, even if it’s not sure what’s happening.
Twilight bark report... I swear my two good pups and every.single.dog.in my neighborhood barks at twilight.
You will glad of that if you ever have the misfortune to lose a large number of Dalmatians
Load More Replies...Omg, my dogs bark incessantly at the dogs 3 houses down. I can't leave them out for long periods anymore because I'll get complaints. Her dogs bark back, but apparently I'm the only one who gets complaints. Anyway, my dogs have gotten out of control with eating the kids toys too and now I keep them in the pen half the day. So I'm going to pay for a boot camp to see if they can be trained. My wife is clear, the dogs shape up or they have to go, so I'm going to try really hard to get them to behave. If only the dogs understood that....
I wonder if that is indeed what they do, take calls to make sure everyone is here?
And stopping all the aliens, and abomonomible snow monsters, and SQUIRRELS! and possums, and THREATS! THERE ARE THREATS LIKE THAT VERERRRY SUSPUCIOUS LEAF!! IT JUST MOVED WHAT IS BEHIND IT??? WARNING!!! oh . . . never mind . . . it was the wind and not a monster. WOOF! I'm tired. Thinks I'll go nap in the kitchen now. What are you staring ar? Hoomins - sheesh.
My furry housemates have very important jobs, the rent they pay just isn't monetary in nature.
Plan worked. Human didn't it, so I did. I hope they having steak tomorrow.
If you don’t like the hair, don’t get a pet with hair. Don’t get a pet at all. Hair just comes with the territory. Even hairless cats and dogs periodically shed a whisker. Not to mention the husks to toenails.
I live with a golden retriever. She is very generous sprinkling her fibres of joy everywhere.
Oh you got my jealousy raging. My one dog has a medium length double coat and never stops shedding; I blame the small amount of golden retriever in him
Load More Replies...My fur is my gift to you sad soft can-openers that can't grow a decent coat. I have to keep you warm so you don't die. Who wants to train new staff?
Others even ‘dance’ with their dogs, though this is more a dressed-up obedience drill, not that awkward waltz some children will do with their confused, but eager family pet. The more formal term is ‘musical canine freestyle,’ which sounds like a pretty niche subgenre of music. The basic concept is that the owner does certain actions to music, often trembling dance moves, while the dog performs pre-determined actions based on physical cues from their master. When done correctly, it only vaguely resembles dancing, but dogs are not known for their grace and they are absolutely trying their best, so cut them some slack.
Just a few weeks ago my dog was staring at the door, ears perked up, growling slightly. I don't know if it just heard some random noise, freaked me tf out though Edit: Bedroom door, around 1 in the morning
My boys are both part hound; they hear all outside sounds. In time you may notice different growls for animals intruding in yard. I'm still learning all their different growls and it's quite interesting
Load More Replies...My brother had meant to take our parents to the opening of the Olympics in Lake Placid, but died before them. So my Mom was watching the opening on TV with the cat. The cat went to the living room door, hissed and growled and stared the entire evening. Mom's sure my brother was there, watching with her.
🤣😂🤣 love when my dog does this, freaks my kid and husband out.. im always the one who has to go check
My dog does this. I think I read somewhere that they can hear the low frequency hum of electricity/electronics.
We used to call them tippy tappy toesies. Yes I miss the sound. Yes I am a soppy old bat
Not only that, but keep an eye out for those birbs. They aren’t real you know.
We all know that food is one of the most effective ways to a dog's heart. Indeed, even smaller canines will eat like there is no tomorrow, regardless of how satiated they actually are. This is a good tip for people traveling in areas with wild or semi-wild dogs, keep some treats with you to quickly ingratiate yourself to the pack. Though it's always best to use your best judgment when entering such an environment.
We bought Cleo a doggy chocolate easter egg. She is going to love it!
↖️ Relax pup, a dog your size would need to eat a LOT of chocolate to be in danger. Just ask me.
I kiss my dog 1000 times each day... he even got a special pose for it ❤️🤷♀️
Here here let's make a million kisses a day a law of the land. No slobbering allowed.
It was berry stressed when it thought it was going to be eaten, but now it has doggo.
Other studies also suggest that dogs absolutely love petting and will happily sit and get pets for practically as long as the human is willing to provide them. Treats are also very effective for training, but more mature and domesticated dogs will also be quite happy with more pets and verbal praise. So talk to your dog, as chances are, it will get the gist of what you are saying. At the very least, it can be a sort of mini-therapy session.
Well, on one hand I'm thinking I gave you food and you're just being a pig, and on the other hand I'm wondering if I really forgot and that I might as well give you food since I don't want you to be hungry, and then I'm guilty.
I can’t even look in your bowl to verify, because it’s always empty and licked clean.
Load More Replies..."dog sitting" my daughters' yellow while THEY are in NC for spring break. Wife texted and asked if I fed Odin. "he keeps going over to his dish and looking"...."Yeah...he's lying"
Every so often I do forget, then I feel bad, but then I remember that I probably overfeed then, and they have dry food in there all day which they didn't finish, so they weren't harmed. Then I give them extra treats so they will like me again.
That would be a great way to get a very nice doctor or pharmacist bitten by a dog. My mother reacts violently to needles. I have passed out, thrown up, but usually just get very nauseous and very pale.
23. Woofle at absolutely nothing and make the human get up to check the door.
8. Give my privates a thorough cleaning in full view of my humans.
Your humans will be delighted to witness that you are not neglecting your personal hygiene
Load More Replies...My younger cat does this exact routine, but replace "bark" with "meow" and "under the couch" with "under the refrigerator" XD
Addendum: If there are children, especially small ones, follow them around. Got to keep the human puppies safe, you know.
Other than the polite part, that sounds a lot like my day. Cats are never polite.
As long as it’s not chocolate chip or raisin… that’s disastrous for doggos
Milk is not all that good either: most animals become lactose intolerant once they grow out of the lactancy stage
Load More Replies...You are Santa's little helper. But, indoor trees don't share the same purpose as outdoor ones.
I thought "who the f**k would think today is christmas" and then I check the date
We keep saying that my dog would activate his Big Boy Barks™ and then promptly show the intruder where his treats are and then the valuable items.
We used to joke if a robber ever showed up, they might be in danger of getting licked to death.
And that is, folks, why you have to spoil your dog to only eat certain kinds of treats /s
That TikRok video with th guy who pretends to be a robber and a Golden Retriever: Dog: Why are you here? Robber: Um...to rob you? Dog: Oh sweet! *gets up* Let me show you where she keeps her jewelry!
Me to Oscar tonight " Oh! Somebody has a case of the stretchies! What a good stretch buddy!"
Oooo dat’s a mighty fine stretch there, oo yes. Does oo need some skritches for that big stretch?
Load More Replies...I feel called out XD I always say "ohhhh, biiiiiig stretch!" whenever my doggo or one of my two cats stretches XD
Whenever my chihuahuas stretch I say "Ooohh big stretch for such a little dog!!!"
But I'm curious. What is a dog warden? Why is there someone driving a van chasing me?
I'll bring in loads of them. After they find three or four, they'll get fed up and I will still have plenty to chew.
Lol! My dogs weren't allowed to have sticks in the house until recently, my almost 2 year old female golden had just gotten her cone off from getting spayed and found a stick on the deck. She tried to bring it in and I told her no but she looked so holsome that I let her in. Now she does it all the time and the other 1 joins in too
i actually think that bringing sticks home is a great way to get free wood for a fire
Lazy days, lots of treats and rubs with minimal contact with the outside world
This makes me happy sad like I feel bad for stressing out my dogs but know I know why my dogs come find me when I'm panicking
I think you should be a wee bit worried dog. Have you been to the vet more often than usual?
I lower the portion sizes but feed him three times a day, so he eats with me.
Want a third meal? Come to work me, and we can share. What job skills do you have?
**sigh** my dogs get lunch....10 out of 10 do not recommend starting this in your household.
My cat INSISTED that she should get 3 meals a day, like I do, so that's how it is - 3 tiny portions every day.
Luckily I live in Arizona and don’t have to deal with it
Load More Replies...My one dog is on diet food and his stomach is perfectly synced with feeding time. He was not happy about setting the clocks back an hour; he's much happier now that it's been pushed ahead. For an entire hour this dog would bug me to be fed; woofing, whimpering, barking and then pulling at my clothes or blanket if I had one on.
Sometimes I keep this up for too long, then have to stop. After a while, it feels like my tail is wagging me.
Sometimes you wag it so hard into something that you break it. Poor pup.
Oh, I forgot. It's a vegan get together. Human's be strange. Having nuts for dinner is nuts.
1. I want to say this again NO MACADAMIA NUTS FOR DOGS THEY ARE TOXIC and 2. vegans don’t eat nuts for dinner large salads pasta lentils and chickpeas make up a solid amount of vegan dinners and 3. this is not a criticism in any way enjoy my upvote
Load More Replies...Well, if the second poop landed on the lawn of a neighbor your human doesn’t like, then you’re the bestest doggo in the whole wide world.
I had a dog that never (98% of the time) pooped on walks. Only back at our house or the place we were staying.
They should not have left last night's indian food leftovers so easy to get. Poo bags be useless today.
I will reuse that one bag, for our whole walk, small dog, small poop, plenty of room. How much plastic do we need to throw away? Seriously, cleaning up after a dog is so much easier and less gross than changing a diaper.
Doggo's are a happy bag of love wrapped in fur with a wiggly bum at one end and a floppy yard of spam at the other end
Yes! My doggo is pretty badly disabled due to neurological damage from distemper, but he is SO HAPPY and so full of love. He doesn't care that he has trouble standing or walking, he'll wiggle his bum and flop his spam-tongue all over you from the floor XD
Load More Replies...Thank you. That is a new record for you. 59 seconds. Congratulations.
Leaf it to dogs to put strange things in their mouth like toddlers
Crochet is my one dogs absolute favorite. Leaf crunch, plastic bottle crunch, any type of crunch; the sound is heaven to him
My doggo Mint would definitely be a fair competitor for number 9 :)
Oscar loves the first one! It's hilarious to see him slide across the floor, turn around, and come galloping back for more!
How about galloping from chair to chair to couch without a paw ever touching the floor ? Fur bomb that one.
The number of times you and your new dog friend can get your leashes wound around each other during a “butt dance.”
I'm expecting a medal from my good boy for hardwood floor sliding 🏅🏆🐕
That's actually the most adorable thing and I needed to hear this
I also pooed a few times in the neighbours garden. He was mean to you twice this year.
Last few halloweens I set up by the street a huge bowl of water and a box with bags of dog treats (thoroughly and clearly labeled, even drew a simple dog face picture as well as taped the original treat bag to the box). We have alot of dogs in my neighborhood and it's only fair they get or trick or treat too 😊
"thank you for the two pats on the noggin you can have two cand-HEY! NO NOGGIN PAT NO TREAT! COME BACK MOTHERF-"
Human. You don't have a valentine yet either. Open my canned food and you throw something in the microwave. Dinner for two. Then after, we can cuddle. Easy. Kiss kiss
i got the cutest picture of my dog holding a rose in her mouth
I got a vacuum-hose-brush-attachment for my dog, since he is half German Shedder XD
My one dog will put the side of his face against my mouth for kisses. He is quite persistent and believes he deserves lots of continual kisses until he decides he's had enough which I'm pretty sure is infinite to him so after a while I do have to push him away (mostly because I actually have a dog allergy and need non dog air)
Me: Cleo, how many kisses on the head is too many? Cleo: There is no such thing as too many
Or a wee, our dog gets so excited to see one of us when were out longer than an hour he wees himself with excitment
Haha I just visited my aunt today and let's just say she now needs to wash a couch cushion cover. Little miss piddles was super excited to see me 😆
Load More Replies...I wonder what a PS5 is. I wonder what tastes like. I'll sneak look and taste when the humans aren't looking. Ermm? Does a smart phone phone taste good as well.
Valentine doggo is extra-good doggo! Just like Christmas doggo, Halloween doggo, Thanksgiving doggo, and March the 27th doggo :D
When you come back in 8 hours, I'll be rested and excited and have many things to do. Do not sit down and pretend to be tired.
I must stick my head out of the car more often, so I can get used to this thing humans call wind.
If Oscar's ears were just a little bit longer, he could definitely get some air time. He wags his tail in a circle like a propeller sometimes so it almost works!
Do dogs actually remember routes because my dog refuses to go our old route, he drags me to where he wants to go so my dog brings me for a nice walk
Our Border Collie knows exactly which road/lane etc. will take the longest to walk, no matter where we are in the local area . Dogs are just the best ☺️
Load More Replies...WHY DOES THIS HURT TO READ?? Probably because my friend broke up with me and so reading these hurts
Humans are so inconsiderate. They should make sure that my walkies, meals and naps are always taken care of. ON TIME.
Human missed kiss this morning. Not good. I'll have to hide the TV remote control. I'll let him look for it for half an hour when he comes home. I'll get it and bring it to him. Not only will I get my missed kiss, i'll also get some goodies.
Oh, Thoughts of Dog is one of the BEST social media accounts on the interwebs!! The other one is We Rate Dogs, which is actually run by the same guy. The posts brighten my day, every day!

Intruders from the sky. Old man is displeased anything would dare enter his domain from the sky so he barks at them to go away. The younger pup hates his obnoxious barking and goes to a different room; neither is actually scared of the fireworks or thunder
I'm so lucky my boy isn't bothered by them. My old(er) dog was never bothered by them and he taught the puppy not to be afraid.
Oscar doesn't mind the artificial sky booms. It's the real ones that he barks at.
My dog is the only dig in the area who dosnt mind fireworks, he has perfect hearing btw
There's two types of taxes. The taxes you pay every now and then, and then the taxes you add when you buy things.
For each belly rub, head pat, ear scritch or treat given the tax is a waggy tail and a licky lick and a friend for life
My doggo will, too, stop for no reason and stare at a ghost :O
Mine too, except he'll stare at me XD "The walk is over when I SAY it is over, human!" stilly2-64...4e40ed.jpg
I laughed and cried at all of these; missing my sweet girl. You left me on a Saturday and my heart still hurts.
It's worth it! My Twitter has been scrubbed of all things political...

aint it funny how the wholesome ones have les likes than the funny ones xd
i loved this post even though i pretty much sobbed through it :)
Some of these could also be thoughts of a cat too...either way super adorable ☺️
