Let's face it – animals rule the Internet. No matter how much new and authentic content there is online, we always come back to cute pictures of pets. Whether they're cute, acting derpy or looking slightly threatening. Cats and dogs will always be on top of the world of the Internet. The same goes for Bored Panda as well.
This time, we're featuring the best new contributions to the "What’s Wrong With Your Dog" subreddit! And don't get alarmed – I'm sure most of these dogs are just acting foolishly to have some fun. Nothing at all is actually wrong with them. So are you ready to see some pooches acting weird and silly? Then, without further ado, scroll down and see these doggos in some nonsensical places and positions.

Shhh, She Thinks She’s Hiding. You Gotta Act Surprised When She Comes Out And Say “There You Are!” And She Will Do Happy Zooms
My dog used to play-hide under the table with his nose out one end, and a wagging tail out the other end.
It is a nice, fluffy garden.

Dogs do weird stuff, that's true. That's also one of the reasons we love them. Interestingly, many of these odd behaviors are fairly logical and explainable. Ever wondered why your dog likes to eat grass so much? Why is the bathroom garbage so appealing to your pooch?
Read on and find out what's the reason behind these and other strange behaviors our dogs exhibit. Below you'll find some things dogs do that we, owners, find peculiar, but that have very reasonable explanations behind them.
My Allergic Baby
Poor baby has allergies and needs to use an asthma inhalor twice a day. We taped it to a bottle so the air wont get away, and also put tape around the edges so it wont cut her nose. She alway gets the zoomies after
You should patent that design, if one doesn’t already exist (if it does, it’s probably expensive, so your workaround would be a bargain).
probably not actually. i had an asthmatic cat and the "aerokat" inhaler chamber was only about $20. https://www.amazon.com/Cat-Inhaler-Spacer-Delivering-Medication/dp/B08KXKT9XV/

Jesus Christ. The dog seems to suffer from hanging tongue syndrome. Could we just cease to admire these "cute" brakys with their multiple problems. "Disease Cause: Several situations can lead to hanging tongue syndrome in dogs, some of them congenital and others acquired. Brachycephalic and toy breeds can be prone to having a tongue that is overly long compared to their mouths compared to other breeds and dogs with either an underbite or an overbite are more likely to develop this condition as they age. Hanging tongue syndrome can also be triggered by damage to the facial area, particularly damage that involves the jaw, as well as by dental disease that results in the loss of teeth. Damage to the nerves that control the tongue and other forms of neurological damage may also induce the tongue to hang loosely."
Let's start with the intense eye contact. There are three instances when your dog might look at you in an unusual way. When they get scolded, when they're pooping or they're just watching you getting ready.
The guilty look in a dog's eyes is a response from an immediate or past negative reaction from the owner. They give those guilty eyes as they await a response. If your pooch is looking at you while they're pooping – they're looking for signs of danger.
At that moment, they trust you to defend them. And the constant looking at you at home is just always being ready for affection, treats or food. A dog behavior expert Madeline Friedman told The Dodo that some dogs also might expect a reward for doing their business outside.

What about the crazy running around, back and forth either inside or outside? The "zoomies," as professionals call them, are random bursts of hyperactivity. "They are bursts of energy like a volcano. Energy builds up then there is the expression and release of that energy," Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist Jill Goldman, Ph.D., told the American Kennel Club.
My Sister Just Sent Me This Picture
Double Standards
You're the head of the "pack". You don't lick faces, you receive licks :)
Licking faces is what lower ranked dogs do to the higher ranked ones, so this must have been incredibly weird for the dog.
Is that why my dog wiggles around and folds his ears down before he gives kisses? Because he's being submissive?
Load More Replies...I'm Still Wondering Myself
Wow, that line up the nose makes it look like the dog's nose has passed THROUGH the cage's wires
did anyone else think the black line on his snout was one of the bars? I was horrified for a moment.
This next one is why most cats in cartoons look down on dogs as dumb – chasing their tail. There are two completely benign reasons for it: either they're looking to expend some energy or want the owner's attention.
But it also can become something worth serious concern. Veterinarians say some dogs might do it because they have OCD. If a dog does it excessively or injures himself, go see a vet.

My Parent's 110lb Cane Corso Likes To Sit On The Center Console Like A Cat
Our next category is the munchies. The first one on the menu – grass. Many owners might become concerned when their pet starts crunching the green stuff, but it's not always a red flag. Dr. Leanne Jakubowsky, DVM told Business Insider that dogs use grass as a purgative.
Apparently, it helps them "clear out foreign bodies and parasites due to the high fiber content of grasses." Some might also start eating it due to nutritional deficiencies, yet it's less likely since dog food nowadays is well-balanced.

My Dog Thinks She Is Hidden
Would be nice if you'd post a picture of her instead of a towel on a couch.
Some dogs like to munch on non-food items. Toilet paper, stuffed animals, homework – hardly anything is off limits. The behavior when dogs eat things that are not foods is called pica.
PetMD writes that the most common reasons behind it are mental: boredom, depression, anxiety or extreme hunger. It mostly occurs in high-energy breeds (like Labradors) who don't get enough attention and exercise, and lack socialization with other dogs or humans.

Other Dogs Give Puppy Dog Eyes. This Is Mine Trying To Charm Me
The most extreme (and gross) case of pica is when a dog eats its own poop. Coprophagia is the medical term for it and is common with young puppies and nursing females. In fact, it's pretty normal for dog moms – they ingest the stuff while cleaning their pup or stimulating their bowel movement.

Let's move on to some weird behaviors that aren't so stomach-turning. My puppy stashes food and toys in his secret hideout. What's up with that? With all types of hoarding, it comes down to instinct.
Animal Behavior College Dog Trainer Deborah Fenton told the AKC that "most of the time when dogs hide things, they do so because they have an instinct to hoard or guard their food and possessions."

If there's one thing dogs love, it's marking their territory. That's the reason why they start kicking right after doing their business. Preventative Vet writes that it's how they send a message to other dogs.
"There are scent glands on and in between your dog's paw pads. Scratching the grass after urinating or defecating helps spread the pheromones secreted by these glands around the area."
He’s Not Allowed On The Couch
I really hate that my dogs aren’t allowed on my couch, my mom doesn’t like dogs being on the couch so instead they just lay like this
I came up with a compromise, you should try it too! My dogs were allowed on the couch as long as I put a blanket down first. Worked great for us!!!
Load More Replies...I'll never understand why people don't let their dogs on the couch. You get to sit on the couch, why should they have to sit on the floor and be uncomfortable.

Load More Replies...Fun fact, back in the days of the D**k Van Dyke show, marital beds had to be separated, and if anyone was in the bed, like reading a book or something, they had to have one foot on the floor.

His back paws are on the floor. That means he is NOT on the couch!!

For me and many, a first to see, is he part cat, or saw them do it !!!
The last one: splooting. It's a funny resting position where a dog stretches their hind legs while lying down, resulting in a pretty comfortable position.
Experts say that it's a way for doggos to stretch their hip muscles and relieve pressure on their lower and back hips. That's especially true with older dogs.
Another reason can be to cool off – the position exposes more of their skin. My beagle, for example, used to sploot on the cold tiled kitchen floor after coming back from long walks in the hot summer. So that one’s definitely true!

My dog is like that, too. Takes him forever to figure out how he's going to get around it (of course, he's old, blind and deaf and has to figure it out by smell, so I cut him a lot slack!)
Our sweet pup would be flumoxed like this by anything with grates, suspended or otherwise.
It's not WHAT it is; it's WHOSE it is. She thought she'd be safe in the Witness Protection Program, but somehow Fluffy has found her!

Load More Replies...He Let Out A Big Sigh After Getting “Comfortable”
If the Wolves 20,000 years ago knew what would happen to them, I think they would have just eaten the humans instead of being lured by the warmth of the fire.
Looks like that Spanish lady tried to paint a Lab's face from memory but didn't get the size right.
Letting out a big sigh is a dog's way of communicating that they have got comfy and wish to be left alone. You can use this in reverse - if you want to nap then asking the dog/s to settle and then puffing out a big sigh through your nose will inform them that you are snoozing.
Thanks! It's good to expand one's Doglish vocabulary.

Don’t let him get used to this. Dryers aren’t beds, and if he burrows down in a pile of clothes you might not see him when you turn the dryer on, doesn’t matter that he’s not a tiny dog.
Why do people leave their dryer doors open? Stop being so lazy, & be safer for your pets!
If you don't, mold will grow and your laundry will stink. Same as with the washing machine.
