“What’s Wrong With Your Dog?”: People Are Sharing Pics Of Their Dogs Acting Bizarre (50 New Pics)
Every time I land in a corner of the internet where no one's arguing, fighting or calling each other names, I savor it. And the subreddit "What's Wrong With Your Dog?" is as pure as they can get.
Like we showed in our first publication on this online community, it's a place where people post pictures of their pets "malfunctioning". I mean, sure, some of them clearly haven't gone through the "Sit" manual and others might need to update their urge control drivers but no error makes these derps anything less than a good boy or a good girl.
Continue scrolling and tell me you're not feeling calmer with each image. I dare you.

Bored Panda got in touch with just-a-traveler, the person who created the subreddit back in 2015, and they were kind enough to tell us more about it. "I made this subreddit because dogs are goofs. Pure hearted, lovable goofs," just-a-traveler said.
"I wanted that folks could have a place to share their [moments from their goof's life] while the rest of us gather around, point and laugh," the Redditor explained.
Since our last article, "What's Wrong With Your Dog?" has crossed the 1 million-member mark and currently has over 1.3 million followers.

"I wanted that folks could have a place to share their [moments from their goof's life] while the rest of us gather around, point and laugh," just-a-traveler explained.
But people aren't laughing at the pooches, they're laughing with them. Like we mentioned before, r/WhatsWrongWithYourDog isn't taunting the dogs or their owners. It doesn't allow posts about injured or dead dogs—as much as people might be heartbroken, it's just not the place for this content. Breed hate and other kinds of (verbal) abuse aren't tolerated either.
They've Shared A Crate For Years So I Sold My Second Crate Long Ago. They Recently Started Refusing To Share The Crate So I Bought A New Crate Two Days Ago And Here We Are Today
No, they had an argument and fell out but now they have made friends again .

Dogs are just as horrible as cats sometimes. My cats never sleep together, got 2 baskets and guess what ... yep, together on a chair.
To be honest i understand them! I don't mind to be around others to sit or even nap but when i need my night sleep i want everyone to get the hell out of my bed! Or they just want to show you that your furniture is theirs now!

My dogs are like that with toys. They only have value if someone else wants it!
For years I had two little rescue dogs, one of them a puppy mill rescue who had lived 12 years in a tiny cage. I provide hospice care, and don't crate my dogs, usually, but these two loved crates, so I set them up just like this, with the doors open. The little puppy mill dog would wait until I left the room, and run and climb in with her blind brother, like she was doing something wrong. Poor lamb. Those two shared a crate for years, but I left both of them up. so little Meg could pretend she was getting away with something.
Can't. Stop. Laughing! Got to love them the cheeky rascals! ; )
Why do you need a crate for anyway? Serious question. I get the use for some difficult anxious dogs but they seem standard in the US. Why cage a dog away at home ? So unnecessary
This is what my twins did when they were little. Slept in the same crib, then wouldn't, then would.
Having two is not the same as only having one. Don't ask, I'm confused as well. lol
One is their livingroom. The other is their bedroom. They had an argument and one had to sleep on the couch in the livingroom. But they made up . So now he/she can sleep in the bedroom again.
Maybe they want you to fill the crate with another dog. Either that, or they are leaving a space for you since you're the alpha....
I mean it's probably for the same reason I insist on having at least one extra room besides bedroom and living room when moving in with a partner. I want the option to be by myself, but it doesn't mean I'm gonna use it very much.
Americans and their weird and unhealthy obsession with crating their dogs
Not just Americans. Crates are used everywhere and are recommended by behaviorists as a good safe place for dogs :)

"I made a similar subreddit for cats [and Bored Panda already featured it], but the people are passionate about pups too, so when the world gets you down, visit us for eye candy and soul solace."
When it comes to causes of the most popular dog 'malfunctions', just-a-traveler said that mirrors and farts (both their own and their human's) are prime candidates. "Dogs will also sleep in any position as if their bones were jello. They have zero shame and are the best creatures on the planet," just-a-traveler concluded.

Our old dog loved spicy things too, when she could steal them. Then she would run around with her lips curled up, licking and sneezing. That foxterrier was hardcore. She also manage to bite a solid lead crystal pitcher to pieces because it contained peanuts. Her favourite food were crayons.

Side note: Please research the dog you are thinking of adopting. Most large dogs are WORKING DOGS. You can't leave them alone for 10-12 hours and NOT expect your home to be completely gutted. They need to be walked or taken somewhere that they can run for at least 2-3 hours a day(not all at once) unless you have an immense backyard. Also, PLEASE buy a seat belt for your dog. Okay, thanks for listening.
Yes! Absolutely! People also need to think about how they will manage a sick or injured dog. If you can't pick it up, how can you get it to a vet? What if it goes lame on a walk? I've had that happen with more than one dog and ended up carrying them. Or if a dog is suddenly scared and bolts - big dogs could have you off your feet in seconds and be gone. My parents in laws dog was scared by a clap of thunder and was missing for hours until he returned home - crossing several dangerous roads. Have a dog you can physically manage. Terriers are a stubborn, energetic dog. Springer spaniels are very high energy - it's not always just the big dogs though I agree with everything that Zoe's mum said. Check your life is suitable, see what traits different breeds have. Put the animal first. You may want one, but make sure it is fair for the dog.

I don't get why people are saying research your dog breed so as to "prevent" these things from happening. Don't know what photos you're looking at, but I'm looking at mostly photos of silly doggy expressions and weird ways of sitting/lying. These things don't need preventing, and researching the breed wouldn't prevent them anyway. Do your research of breeds before you adopt, sure, but that has morning to do with these photos.
Well, maybe it is because the last photo in the list is of that poor, beautiful dog that ate the sofa. Dogs do that when bored, anxious, lonely and often because the owners have a dog they can't cope with, haven't trained, or shouldn't leave alone. People should know what they are getting themselves into before getting a dog yet often it is a whim. Besides, Zoe's Mom wrote 'side note' and can make a separate point, it isn't illegal. Others joined in because they care. It is also vitally important that people really DO research and take the factors raised above into account. Dogs end up in shelters because people liked the way they looked but didn't realise a particular breed had considerable grooming needs or required complex play. I worked in animal welfare for years and have seen the results of humans making stupid choices at the detriment of animals.
