Ask any dog owner and they will tell you at least a dozen reasons why these animals are the finest creatures on Earth. However, sometimes even the best have an off day. And when they do, they end up on the subreddit r/DogShaming!
It's a place where people share amusing pictures of their naughty pups after they have eaten all the donuts, covered the patio in pee, or committed some other unforgivable crime.
Continue scrolling to meet the suspects and don't miss the conversation I had about guilt in dogs with Kate Litaker, Dogtown Lifesaving and Care Supervisor for Best Friends Animal Society.

Pretty much any dog will look like that if you make them sit & pose for a picture with a piece of paper touching them (mine looks like that if she even SEES my camera)... Or if you PRETEND they were "bad" (they aren't, they're just dogs being dogs).

On the back of the paper: "In my defense, I really don't like pianos."
This made me lol! I suppose the kid was terrible and innocent dog was just telling them to STAHP!
Let's face it. We've all wanted to bark at novice instrument learners. I still shudder at memories of my beloved brother learning trumpet...
If the kid was playing Bieber I woulda barked at him too, obstacles and all. Good doggo.
In some of these pics, it appears that the pups are repenting for their "sins." However, even though dogs can learn what their owners consider appropriate and inappropriate behavior, we still aren't sure if they feel guilt.
"I personally don't think that dogs feel guilt, their reaction is just a response to environmental stimuli and human reactions," Kate Litaker, the staffer at Best Friends, told Bored Panda.
Scientists don't have a concrete answer as well. In a 2009 study, researchers observed dogs and their owners under several sets of circumstances and concluded that dogs tended to display "guilty" body language more frequently when their owners scolded them than when the owners remained neutral – regardless of whether the dogs had actually done anything wrong.
Dog cognition scientist and author Dr. Alexandra Horowitz, who was in charge of the research, said that "a better description of the so-called guilty look is that it is a response to owner cues, rather than that it shows an appreciation of a misdeed."
We’re Pretty Impressed By Our 7 Month Old German Shepherd/Great Pyrenees Mix
Doggo: hey uncle, do you know what my parents did? They left me home alone…. Can you believe this bull pucky? Hey, got any bacon?
When I was a kid and we were going somewhere we tied our doggo on the terrace , gave him food and water to last couple of hours . He heard our scooter's sound going somewhere god knows how he removed his collar and jumped from the first floor . When we returned a kind neighbor gave refuge to him till we came back . No serious injuries , Just got a slight sprain in leg . After that we never left him alone.
Many years ago when my brother wouldn’t come home early enough in the winter months his dog would walk 3 miles to my house, scratch on my bedroom window to alert me to let him in, & would sleep on my floor. I’d let him out in the morning and he’d go home.
Sounds like you need to have permanent custody of doggo and your brother can have "supervised visitation". ;oP

Load More Replies...What about you? What would you do if you came back home after a long day and your four-legged buddy greeted you with shreds of your favorite jacket?
Litaker said an appropriate reaction would be to act excited to see your dog, clean up the mess, and work on preventing it from happening in the future. For example, maybe put all of your clothes inside the wardrobe and toss a nice chew toy on the floor instead.
"One of my office dogs did destroy my window blinds and house plants trying to escape the room because she was left alone in the office," Litaker recalled. "She really preferred the company of another dog or humans, so I didn't leave her alone in the room anymore."
This Classic My Dad Posted To FB Several Years Ago
Had a Lab once who *loved* the smell of beer. Got into leftover pints after a party once and ended up blotto'd. Had a terrible doggie hangover the next day and never went near beer again. Smarter than a lot of people I know.
Had a lab like this too, except she would still try to get to beer no matter what. She loved county fairs, and was the reason the fair made the rule to keep in progress drinks off the ground - because if you didn't keep an eye on her then she would try (and fail because we wouldn't let her) to quaff your remaining beer.

Objection! I rule the evidence brought against said Pup is based on hear-say and cat slander. Case dismissed ! Penalty for the prosecution = 5 large steaks delivered to defendant in bite sized pieces.
According to the American Kennel Club, when we consider a dog looking guilty, we usually mean it displays some or all of the following behaviors or signs:
- Tucked tail;
- Visible whites of the eyes;
- Cowering, hunched posture;
- Yawning;
- Licking;
- Flattened ears;
- Avoiding eye contact.
These expressions are signs of fear and stress in dogs. But determining if they truly feel bad about breaking our rules is tricky. Guilt is a complex concept.
It requires an understanding of cause and effect in relation to time, which is difficult to prove. Plus, dogs can't use words to describe how they feel either, so we are really running out of options here!
There can be a number of reasons why dogs act out. "They can become destructive or have an accident because they are bored, because it's fun, or because they didn't like being alone," Kate Litaker added. "Providing interactive toys and food puzzles when you're not home, and plenty of playtime and exercise when you are home can help prevent these types of behaviors."

My Co-Workers Keep Eating Office Supplies
If they are like my dog, it comes out no problem. Unless carefully watched, my girl eats anything.
Load More Replies...I would wonder if they are bored or seeking-attention, it's not good to have grown dogs still chewing your non-food stuff up, not to mention the danger they put themselves in, this should be gone after puppyhood ideally.
This should just say: "We are bored out of our minds, please walk and play with us more often".
You don't know how much they are walked or played with. Some dogs just get into things. I had a beagle name Bagel that would chew everyone in the houses stuff except mine. The others didn't care for him much but were never unkind to him. Bagel got plenty of attention and exercise and no one was mean to him at all and he still ate and Chewed. Also had a black lab that would tear into trash and eat things because she had separation anxiety and we did everything to try to combat it and help her through it but she's still Occasionally do it so.. Misbehaving dogs doesn't alway equal inattentive or bad owners.

Sweet little thing needs a Seeing Eye Dog 😿 Some animals actually do this for others on their own, but it can be taught.
We have an old dog who is mostly blind and our two younger, larger dogs are the exact opposite of helpers to their old brother! They just push right past him to go inside and outside. I'm constantly like, "KYLO! MINNY! WATCH OUT FOR NEKO, DANGIT!" They just don't care at all. Rude!
Load More Replies...If they're cataracts, then surgery can take care of this. There's no need for the dog to be blind.
On older dogs it can be too risky to operate. My dog is a traumatised rescue, it would be far too distressing for him to be operated on and dogs cope very well with going blind. They don't have the emotional concerns and worries that people have. A young, healthy dog that hasn't been through trauma, yes.

Seems like the owner should be shamed for reinforcing this behavior by giving attention every time the dog shreds something?
I mean to an animal negative attention is still attention so most people would reinforce it without even meaning to. Most people are not going to just let the dog shred something and sit by silently and let it happen. It's simply that most people probably don't know how to respond appropriately.

She Destroyed The Couch In The Emergency Trailer We Are Living In, Because She Set The House On Fire
I fostered a GSD for a year, he couldn’t stand to be left alone due to anxiety. On the few occasions when he was briefly left alone he managed to destroy a door, get on the work top and start the gas on the hob, ripped all the wiring out of the boiler, chewed plugs off various appliances, unlocked a cabinet and ate all the fat out the deep fat fryer giving himself diarrhoea and ate the face off the teddy bear I’d had since birth. I took him to a PDSA psychologist who said his behaviour was due to terrible anxiety. Worth bearing in mind if your dog is destructive.
