We Asked People To Share The Ugliest Photos Of Their Pets And It’s Hilarious (30 Pics)
We all love our pets more than anything, and we also love taking lots of pics of them so we can share their cuteness with the world. It doesn't always quite work out as planned, however! Just like us, animals have their dorky moments, times when they are captured in a less-than-flattering pose.
Unlike us though, they don't care, and they won't be asking you to untag them on Facebook. So we asked our readers to show us their silliest pet pics; the ones when they looked at their most awkward, goofy or just flat out fugly. Boy, did they deliver! From derpy dogs to clumsy cats and hideous horses, this list compiled by Bored Panda has them all.
Scroll down below to check them out for yourself, and don't forget to vote for your favorite awkward animals!

The Many Faces Of Augustus

I know I should avoid upvoting if I want Odin to get higher, but I laughed so hard I couldn't stop! THE FACES!!! Had to forward to a bunch of friends, too! I love my cats but this kitty is exceptional :)!
According to research, it is likely that the culture of keeping pets began thousands of years ago, with our human ancestors capturing young wolves and domesticating them. The reason for adopting these furry predators was probably not for their cute faces, but because they were useful for hunting. Over time, these wolves evolved into a tamer species - dogs. According to a study published in May 2015, this evolution could have been as early as 27,000 years ago. So if we no longer hunt, why keep pets around now?

Malicity D'Obscura 6 years ago
There's a guy on FB, who photos his GS dogs. The moment he captures and posts, are when they are doing something benign, like yawning, or fun, like romping on the beach. BUT, like this, they are times when the dog looks absolutely murderous. Which is his point: That some dog breeds are too often shown, and thus perceived, in the media, as violent beasts. Given that the USA kills more than a million healthy dogs a year in "shelters", with that number coming from the few that will report the animals that they destroy, we need a lot more humility and a fair amount of lessons, from our four legged friends. Sorry for the incoherent ramble! Dog lover, trainer and up during the night too much these days, as my old girl is senile, so barks for all sorts of reasons.
Ashley Say Whaat?!? 6 years ago
Dang those teeth! Those canines extend for miles! Stay on this dog's good side!
Taking care of an animal can be extremely costly, as any pet owner might tell you. Due to cost, other theories suggest that owning a pet is a sign of a person's wealth. In order to properly care for an animal, one needs the resources to take care of themselves and the pet. "There's a lot of history and culture with how we chose to express this desire to look after animals, but basically it is a human instinct that used to be an honest signal of the ability to look after animals," veterinary scientist John Bradshaw told the BBC.

Cute dog, but that just brought back some bad memories. Our first dog together was a black lab. It showed up at a family member's house as a puppy and they had a pool. Another family member decided that it should swim since it was a Labrador and threw it into the pool by itself and it panicked. We ended up with a beautiful black Lab that was terrified of water for the rest of his life. That is why I cringed when I saw this picture.
Dan Smith 6 years ago
This is a snapshot of a split second in time and you are reading your one totally separate experience with a totally separate animal into it. Chill. If you just looked at the photo, you would think the dog sticking its head out the car window was scared too, but I’ll bet it wasn’t.

James Serpell, professor of Animal Ethics & Welfare at the University of Pennsylvania, believes that there are evolutionary benefits today to keeping pets. "Because we are such a social species," he says, "we are constantly seeking relationship with others – including with our pets. Humans which lack social support are more vulnerable to disease and infection."

Some disagree with the evolutionary benefits of keeping pets and believe that it is more of a fashion, a trend that is reinforced by its own popularity. Plus, we simply find different animals 'cute' at different periods of time.
Serpell disagrees though. He believes that pet-keeping occurred naturally in hunter-gather communities and so it must be inbuilt.
"The notion that pet-keeping could be sustained by fluctuations in fashion is incomprehensible because we know people are having these kinds of relationships with animals very early in their history."
Clearly, it's difficult to know exactly why humans keep pets. But keep them we do, and they enrich our lives in so many ways. That's reason enough for me!

My 20 pound, way overweight, Papillon/Dachshund mix has been chasing birds when she has nothing else to do for a couple years now. But recently, a red-winged blackbird decided NOT to fly to safety when she came outside. I just caught her when she reached into the plants to grab it. Luckily I'd already stepped on her leash, cuz as soon as she had it, she tried to be gone!! I got her to drop it, and it flew off then. Probably to never visit our yard and all those yummy bird feeders ever again!!
