The ‘Guilty Dog’ Challenge Got People Competing About Whose Dog Is The Naughtiest (27 Pics)
Suspicious silence, lowered head, beguiling eyes, and tail pressed hard against the body signal that someone just got busted big time. Ask any dog owner and they will tell you it happens more often than you think!
To commemorate this hilarious and irritatingly cute moment of ill-doing, dog owners are now joining in for the new challenge that does exactly what it says: #guiltydogchallenge. Run by the fan-favorite Facebook group “Dogspotting Society,” it has caused a real buzz on social media partly because it’s so easy to relate to.
So get ready for the cutest delinquents of the animal world, who just couldn’t resist eating the whole pizza without asking, feasting on laptop chargers, and gorging on the carrot cake that’s been pulled straight out of the oven and left to rest. But how can one truly be angry at them?
After you're done, don't forget to check out our previous posts about the Dogspotting community here, here, and here.

Banjo when he gets caught doing something naughty. He automatically puts himself in time out.
To find out more about the guilty dog look, Bored Panda talked to Kate Mornement, an animal behaviorist and consultant who runs Pets Behaving Badly solutions. Kate explained that the guilty look is body language and behavior displayed by dogs which seems to coincide with naughty behavior.“
The guilty look often involves dogs showing the whites of their eyes, lip licking, avoiding eye contact, tucking their tail, holding their ears back flat against their head, cowering, and sometimes hiding from the owner.” Moreover, there are both universal signs of guilt that seems to be present in many dogs, and less frequently displayed behaviors, like exposing their teeth or closing their eyes (remember Denver the Labrador?).
Kate explained that while “guilt is a human concept, dogs are known to share other emotions in common with us, such as fear, anxiety, joy, and anticipation.” Perhaps, Kate said, “guilt will be added to this list; however, we'll have to wait for the science to prove it one way or another.” As for now, "researchers are trying to establish whether dogs actually feel guilty when caught out or whether they're just responding to our behavior and body language and being scolded."

This morning while my owner slept I ate 2 bags of freeze dried chicken hearts (60 or more) 2 bags of Raw coated biscuits. 1 bag of freeze dried liver. 12 dental chews size small. 3/4 of a yak chew bone. 1/4 of a 3kg bag of dry dog food. The farts are just starting....
It’s not the first time that we've seen challenges from the Dogspotting Society Facebook group going viral on social media. In a previous interview with Bored Panda, a representative of the Dogspotting Headquarters team explained that these challenges are usually started by community members.
“Most of them based on universal experiences, so many people can interact with one another. Some of the other challenges we’ve seen are #ThenAndNow challenge, #WhatWasYourDogMistakenFor challenge,#SmilingDog challenge, and #UnflatteringDogPhoto challenge, just to name a few!" Check our article on the "Didn’t Want A Dog" challenge right here.
A spokesperson of the Dogspotting Society also said that now that the world is in quarantine, it’s the perfect time to adopt a dog. “With so many people working from home, you’ll have more time to bond with your new best friend! We know this year has been very difficult for a lot of our members and the challenges have added a bit of levity for everyone."

After escaping her crate, Gidget decided that the bedroom door sounded like a tasty treat.
Just to clarify, she doesn't have anxiety about being in her crate at all and actually kinda likes it in there, but i think once she got out of it she panicked cause she couldn't get back in there and the door to the room was closed, and since she could see the rest of the house through the doorknob hole she was just trying to get out there.
