80 People Who Don’t Know What’s Wrong With Their Dogs But Love Them Nonetheless (New Pics)
If you're a (proud) dog owner, you've probably seen your dog doing a weird thing or two. Whether it's assuming a strange pose, a derpy facial expression, or quirky behavior that other owners would deem suspicious, it probably just makes you love your doggo even more, right?
Well, there's a community online dedicated to owners sharing photos like these. It's the What's Wrong With Your Dog? subreddit, where people post their dogs doing the weirdest stuff. But don't worry – there's nothing really wrong with these doggos, except maybe an occasional case of the sillies.

Load More Replies...Older generations might say that we're going a bit overboard with how much we care about our pets. But if you ask me, I'd say it's just the right amount. And if money is any indication of love, then the amount of money we spend on our beloved pooches and felines would say that we adore them to no end.
The pet market in the U.S. alone is predicted to reach $152 billion this year. And, sorry, to the cats, dogs are still the more popular pet among Americans, as 51% own at least one dog. If you're looking for a lucrative business idea, opening that dog hotel or knitting dog sweaters just might be the field to invest in!

Our parents can make fun of us all they want, but we really do think of our dogs as our children. A 2024 survey shows that 85% of dog owners think of their pet as a child. You'll give that 76% maybe don't go that far, but still refer to their dogs as "the main characters" of the family.
Owning a dog has many more benefits than just satisfying your need to pamper and take care of someone else. Your four-legged best friend, first and foremost, helps you feel less alone. A 2019 study found that after people buy a dog, their self-reported feelings of loneliness diminish significantly.

She Saw A Fly Here Exactly One Time. She Checks Every. Single. Day
I had a dog once who was extremely bothered by flys too. This dog would just wait for them to buzz around and then fly into a murderous boston terrier rage! Funny thing though, the dog could actually catch, k**l, and spit them out. No kisses, thank you though Baby...haha
My dog picks them off the storm door glass when they get in. No spitting out of them.

First Time At The Dog Park And He’s Just In Love With This Bench 😅
He's Been A Bit Tied Up Lately
One of the techs at my vet has a Czechoslovakian Wolfdog like this, and my goodness, what a gorgeous doggo! They're not really "wolf-like" in appearance if you've seen an actual wolf IRL (CSVs are normal dog sized, wolves are gigantic and have much heavier, stockier muzzles and smaller, rounder ears) but they are still gorgeous dogs. I've already got one of each of my "dream breeds" (GSD and Belgian Malinois) but I think I'll have to add CSVs to my list for the future! ;)
Load More Replies...Czechoslovakian Wolfdog! They are lovely dogs. Wolves were used to create the original breeding stock, but there's been so much outcrossing now that they are no longer actually considered "wolf hybrids" and are just a domestic dog breed. They're still a bit rare in most countries.
Load More Replies...People say that a dog and their owner look alike. Naturally, then, if a dog has a wonderful personality, does that mean that their owner has a face for radio as well? Not necessarily, as a series of studies has shown that women are more likely to give men their number when the guys have dogs with them.

Oogie's Best Trick: The Pity Party. Pretending He's The Saddest And Most Mistreated Dog Everytime We're In Public So That He Commands All The Attention In The Room. Works Everytime
Stilgar does this whenever we take him anywhere, except he suddenly becomes dramatically more disabled as we walk towards the car and he realizes we're leaving. Suddenly he stops being able to walk... the back legs get lower and lower... eventually he can't hold his body up any more and he just lays down on the ground XD Of course, if you turn around and walk the other way, away from the car, he pops up with vigor and perfect energy and is totally fine XD He'll do this at the end of walks too - I've got a great photo of him after he "collapsed" on the front walkway once he realized we were heading towards the gate that led into the back yard. He knew exactly what was going on - just look at that side-eye that I'm getting XD stilly2-67...adb30b.jpg

Dogs make us go out much more, we've already established that. But the benefits that come from it can benefit our mental well-being, not just our physical health. A 2015 study found that having a pet makes it easier to find friends, get to know people, and maintain a social support network. Dog owners, unite!

Have you ever wondered why we find dogs so cute and irresistible? Scientists speculate that big-eyed puppies and doggos with their floppy ears awaken our innate desire to be caregivers. It's similar to babies: when we see a wee human, we often can't resist saying "Aww". The "infant schema", or facial features that characterize a cute infant face, goes beyond species, thus making us drawn to dogs.

We'd like to believe that our dogs can into all kinds of shenanigans to amuse us. But pet behaviorists say that's unlikely. In a previous interview for Bored Panda, Karen Wild CCAB said that people often misinterpret their dogs' behavior. "They say the reason for [an emotion in a dog's face] could be something only humans would do or think. It is very coming for people to get it wrong," she noted.
She Woke Me Up This Morning By Groaning Loudly Until I Gained Consciousness, Then Slapping My Face Until I Started Petting Her
My alarm clock is of the feline variety. She starts off trying to push me out of bed which of course doesn't work - I'm way bigger than she is. Then she tries running up and down on top of me. If that doesn't work, she gets nose to nose with me so when I open my eyes, her eyes are right there in front of me.

Load More Replies...For example, when our dog gets "the zoomies," we tend to think that they're super excited. However, Karen explained that it's sometimes the opposite. "This can sometimes be a sign of overwhelm rather than happy excitement," she pointed out. "Body signals in dogs can be due to negative emotions as well as positive ones, and often a mixture of these."

Load More Replies...I used to have a rubber dog, Pebbles. She got hit by a car (in front of the house, at a low speed) and she BOUNCED off the car, escaping with just a light road rash on her pink belly. I nearly had a heart attack, vet was amazed. When we moved out to Colorado, we lived in a bi-level house. A deck was off the kitchen, with a 15 foot drop. I throw Pebbles' toy off the deck and into the yard - after all, we've introduced her to the house and deck, she should know how it works, right? Nope. She leaps right off the deck edge and, again, I'm screaming like a banshee, thinking she's dead. Instead, she's chasing the toy after having splooted onto her belly on the ground before springing up and running off. Dog was made of rubber and springs, I swear. Miss her.

Can confirm that GSDs are especially adept at acting like cats when it comes to furniture, for some reason! My heart-dog was a 90lb GSD, and she could scale the cat tree. She loved sitting on the backs of couches and armchairs. XD She also considered herself a lap dog and would manage to somehow fit her entire body into my lap.
