“What’s Wrong With Your Dog?”: 50 Hilariously Derpy Dogs That May Make Your Day (New Pics)
Interview With ExpertIt is often said that we don’t deserve dogs. Or that in some ways, they’re better than humans. They’re forgiving, loyal, non-judgmental, and they love unconditionally.

Smaller Than Expected: The Sunlight Visualizing The True Size Of The Pup
We took our rough collie to the sea last summer and he got fully soaked. It's fascinating how thin and athletic he actually is under all that fur.
We found a giant husky roaming the streets. Brought him home and kept him in the laundry room while trying to reunite him with his owner. That giant husky squeezed through the cat door into the rest of the house. I was absolutely amazed.
My tiny pomeranian got a hair cut and ended up smaller than my tiny chihuahua.
In Front Of Me In Line To Sign In At A Vet Office
Depending on who you ask, you’ll hear various reasons some people believe we don’t deserve dogs. One couple was so curious to find the answers that they set off on a truth-seeking mission that lasted over a year. Matthew Salleh and Rose Tucker traveled to several countries, meeting dogs and their owners. They are the filmmakers behind the documentary aptly titled We Don’t Deserve Dogs. They took time out of their shooting schedule to chat to Bored Panda.
Salleh says he and Tucker had always wanted to make a film about the relationship between dogs and humans around the world. They believe that the "unique bond, framed within different cultural contexts, says a lot about who we are as people." The entire point of the documentary was to contemplate "whether we deserve the loyalty and love that dogs show us."
During their journey, they ventured to 11 countries and encountered a whole bunch of pawsome things. The couple had already completed another documentary by the time we caught up with them, but they were happy to look back on their 365 days spent with dogs all over the globe.

"Making our film was an amazing experience," said Tucker during our interview. "We were lucky enough to travel to Chile, Uganda, Peru, Italy, Turkey, Pakistan, Finland, Romania, Vietnam, Nepal and the United Kingdom. As completely independent filmmakers, we had to take breaks between shoots so that we could work our 'day job' (video editing) to pay the bills and fund the next part of our adventure."
"We captured all sorts of amazing stories. Everything from Romanian shepherds who work with their dogs to move sheep across the mountains, to young women in Peru who celebrate their dogs' birthdays with extravagant dog-themed birthday parties, to stories of former child soldiers in Uganda who work with dogs as therapy for their PTSD," she added. "We even witnessed 'Kukur Tihar,' Nepal's national day of dog worship."
I Adopted My Dog 7 Years Ago. This Is How He Slept On The Way Home

She Saw A Chipmunk Here. Once. 8 Months Ago
Animals are so silly. A few years ago my mom was in the hospital and I thought it would be easier to bring her cat to our house with our 2 cats. Wrong! Her cat hid under our dresser and wouldn’t come out. Our male cat sat across the room and hissed at him for an hour. So we took mom’s cat back home and just did the back and fort. For the next 3 or so years our cat lived he constantly went back to that spot under the dresser and hissed at it. His sister looked at him like he was insane. We tried cleaning the carpet and sprays but he just remembered that spot where the other cat was. Both were neutered.
One of my dogs liked to carry a stick while we walked. When we left the park, I told her to leave the stick, and she'd put it by a tree. The next day she'd go right to that spot and pick up "her" stick.
I Promise They're Actually Best Friends
"I told you Bob twenty times how I rescued Timmy from the well. Now close your yap and take a nap!"
We Don't Deserve Dogs was their second doccie. They used the funds from their first, Barbeque, to pay for their flights and production costs. "We make films about familiar, everyday things, and examine how different cultures around the world make that thing a part of their lives," Salleh told Bored Panda during our interview.
"With 'We Don't Deserve Dogs,' exploring the special relationship between humans and dogs not only showed the unique differences between cultures, but also let us seek out the similarities and celebrate all that we have in common.”

We were curious to know whether the couple thinks humans deserve dogs, or not. So, we asked... "There's an old phrase I like: 'Be the person your dog thinks you are.' I think that by thinking about how dogs view us, it can help us become better versions of ourselves," said Tucker. "We need to work to be our better selves, and fulfill that automatic affection that dogs give us."

" Will someone please bring me a beer and some beef jerky. The game's about to start, and I've got money riding on the Bulldogs."
There is a British female dog trainer who has a TV show. On one of the episodes she works with a a family whose dog sits similar to this dog but flicks his pickle, almost obsessively, in front of anyone and everyone. I have had dogs with some strange peccadillos, but not this. It was hilarious to begin watching an episode and then, WTF?

The couple told us that spending a year filming dogs was amazing but it definitely wasn't easy. There are some moments that they will never forget, even after moving on to their next doccie. "One of the strongest moments we observed when making this film was the relationship between the former child soldiers in Uganda and their therapy dogs," said Tucker.
"The Comfort Dog Project is an amazing program run by The Big Fix Uganda, where they team former child soldiers with dogs in need of a home. Together, both the humans and their dogs' lives are improved."
Stoned Out Of Her Mind After A Biopsy And Licking Snow
My niece's dog fell off the couch in her sleep and dislocated her shoulder. After they got back from the emergency vet, she was worried cause serenity wasn't moving or doing anything, just laying there breathing. My brother and I had to explain to her that serenity was drugged to her eyeballs and was feeling too good to do anything.
At least the dog just relaxed and stayed put. We had to give Valium to our cat to keep him from having seizures on car rides to his 6 month vet appointments and on 4th of July when the idiot neighbors set off fireworks. Unfortunately the Valium made him very angry so he would stumble around hissing at everything and trying to jump everywhere. He also had hip dysplasia and arthritis, part of the vet visits, so we had to spend hours following him around making sure he didn’t harm his sister and didn’t fall off the couch or coffee table. The vets and assistants that knew him knew he would never scratch or bite and just loved him. It was the new ones that got nervous when this large Bombay started growling and hissing, until he reached out for a hug to be held.

Salleh added that Finland was home to quite a few heartwarming moments for him and Tucker. "We filmed with an organization called 'Hali-Koira,' which translates to 'hugging dogs.' Maarit Haapasaari would travel to aged care facilities with her Bernese mountain dogs, and they would work their way around the room, gently jumping up to each person to be hugged," he told Bored Panda.

The couple worked alone while making the film, in a bid to keep costs low. "Rose and I work as a crew of two. I'm shooting the camera, Rose is recording the sound," Salleh told Bored Panda. "This small footprint allowed us to embed with our subjects, gaining their trust. We also worked with a wonderful team of translators across the world. It was important to us that people speak in their preferred language, and as a result, our film has 10 languages!"
As with children, filming dogs is no easy feat. We asked the duo how they coped. "We would set the gear up in advance, let them have a sniff, and then we would completely ignore them, not making any eye contact. The dogs would forget our presence soon enough," revealed Salleh.
She Brought Me A Leaf
A special leaf, carefully selected from ALL the leaves.

Then he lept for the next leaf, and the precious bundle in his mouth fell. Oooh, that poor little pup was heartbroken... until he saw another leave falling, and he started the process again. Sisyphus had nothing on that dog!
How cute, she obviously noticed that you have been collecting them and thought she would like to help you...
Happy Birthday Mr. Goose!
Why Sit Undercover On The Extra Large Dog Bed The Humans Got For You When You Can Pout In The Rain And Pretend Nobody Loves You?
Don't judge from one photo. I've been trying for 15 minutes to get my Pittie out of the rain but she refuses. She's way too busy monitoring the squirrel activity in the yard and can't be budged
My cat's always have fresh water..but the minute they're outside they head straight to the mud puddle..😀😀💓
So why would anyone invest time and money into researching whether we deserve dogs or not? They must have their own four-legged friends, surely? Apparently not! "Matthew and I both grew up with dogs as a huge part of our families. We moved from Australia to New York in 2016, and live in a small one-bedroom apartment, with sadly no room for a dog!" said Tucker when we posed the question.
But all is not lost for the pooch-loving couple. Even after they've completed the production of their film. "Lucky for us, we live in Park Slope, Brooklyn, which is a very dog-friendly neighborhood, and we are able to 'dog-watch' on a daily basis."

Idk Where I Went Wrong With This One
I once had a 115 lb American Bulldog (scott / standard type) who - as a young pup - would carry massive sticks and rocks all over the yard... and also once uprooted a rather large sapling for this purpose as well. If left unattended in yard, he would steal the downspout off the side of the house and carry that around, too. Learned real quick that entertainment, exercise, and supervision are a must with that breed.

Taking Too Long To Prepare His Sweet Potato
She's Got A Doggie Door And Can Come In And Out And She Pleases
Had three cats and a patio they could access from the bedroom. Moved to a four story penthouse, but couldn't access the balcony from the master bedroom. So I made the offer contingent on the seller, who happened to be an architect, that he create a way for the cats to go from the bedroom to the balcony, without going into the living room. He installed two kitty doors, one from the bedroom to the living room, a door that went from the living room to the balcony, and enclosed in a hollow square, so the cats could go from the bedroom, into the enclosed square, and onto the balcony. Pure genius on the architects part. Except the cats never used it once! I could have asked for a Jacuzzi in the guest bathroom. But no, I wasted it on something they never used. Just like cats are!
My Husky/Malamute cross loved to sun bath, but as soon as she sounded like a steam train getting up a head of steam it wa time for her to go back inside. Our solution was to have the back door and front door open, and this created a wonderful through breeze. She's sit just in the house, in the shade, and in the wind tunnel, looking out at the world passing by before her. She thought it was marvellous.
To train one of my set to use it (a 3 lb yorkie) I lifted the flap up and attached it to a hook and used dog treats to get them to figure it out

Dalmatians have incredible bite force. Stuffed ANYTHING will be destroyed. Try the solid rubber hydrant toys instead.
Crates are very safe, very normal, and can be good for a pupper overall, if used correctly. They should never be put in the crate as "punishment" or to be restrained, but it can be their happy place/safe place, since it mimics a "den". My Malinois is crate trained and he LOVES his crate - it's "his" space. I only latch the crate door at night when he sleeps.
