“What’s Wrong With Your Dog?”: People Are Posting Pictures Of ‘Malfunctioning’ Dogs (47 Pics)
Being a dog is tough work. They gotta protect their home from the postman, run around catching balls, and spend entire hours begging for food, all while making sure their owner feels like the most loved person in the world. Naturally, having so many responsibilities might exhaust the animal and send it into overdrive.
And when dogs malfunction, things can really take a funny turn The K9s, for example, might start climbing on the furniture or exchanging playdates for swap swims. You never know. Every case is different and the way they wind down really depends on the severity of their "problem"...
One thing's for sure, though. The derps often end up in the subreddit r/WhatsWrongWithYourDog. It's a place where people post pictures of their beloved pets having a moment, and it's hilarious. Continue scrolling and check it out for yourself.

He Collected All Balls He Found In The House And Then Laid Like This For 10 Minutes
Cheryle Fuller 4 years ago
We live near Newk's tennis ranch, and the kids would lob the balls way over the fence into the ranch across the street.. Lots of NO Trespassing signs everywhere, so what's a girl to do? My GSP, Rhonda Sue the Wonderdog would go over the cattle guard into the ranch, and hunt out the balls. I could direct her, or she would find them on her own. i leaned over the fence with a large basket she would fill. When it couldn't hold anymore, and most of the balls would be collected, we would go home. I put them in the washing machine with a load of towels. RS the WD would lie in front of that washing machine the whole time, just so happy and smug.
As of this article, r/WhatsWrongWithYourDog has 984,000 members. So if you're a fan (honestly, I can't imagine why you wouldn't be), consider becoming part of the community as it is making its final push toward the glorious 1 million mark.
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," just-a-traveler explained.
It's important to highlight, that 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. It's a safe space; members of the subreddit aren't laughing at the pooches, they're laughing with them.

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.

I find this one a tad bit hard to believe. Dogs lead with their noses, they explore with their noses, they do EVERYTHING nose first yet this dog's is somehow spotless? The dirt line around the face is perfect all the way around, this was manufactured. Sorry to be a nitpicker.

Men And Women Fled In Horror, When The Creature Emerged From The Depths
Aragorn II Elessar 4 years ago
....but one brave soul would had the courage to confront it. A girl, not yet past the twelfth year since her birth, armed only with her bravery, marched onwards to meet the ancient foe. The creature, seeing her approach, in an attempt to put her off guard, arranged its face in a manner to make its appearance more pleasant. It waved its tail high in the air, and licked its lips in anticipation. Its shout was like thunder, and it covered ten metres with every great bound. The brave girl took an involuntary step back in fright, and then another, until she was running in terror. But too late, the beast was upon her, and brought her down, and began...licking her on the face. So she brought him home and gave him chicken. The end.

My dog does that sometimes as well. Sometimes they just want to be there and not necessarily play. Just being out is a treat for them. You are a good human to drive out of your way so that your dog has a good time whether his playing or just 'chilling'. Good on you!

Now, how many other pieces of wisdom are you sharing on a regular basis that might be equally and as severely misleading? This is what bothers me about you people.

Notice how her choice of posture keeps her neck straight. She may have a neck injury or arthritis.

Her back legs are up though, so technically her spine is aligned and alleviating the stress of the bending down. Smart dog!

My dog was the same way. He loved pillows. Couch pillows, bed pillows, books, shoes, my ankles, my feet. Anything and everything that would support his head he used. He also for some reason preferred to sleep on the floor unless the bed was empty in which he would take full advantage of.

probably hurts his neck to lay down on the floor, elevating takes that pressure away.

We had a rescued dachshund who would do this for a while after we got him. He was said to be "crate trained," but I think that meant he spent most of his time in the crate. I guessed he pooped like that in the crate so he wouldn't have to sit in it. Once, he pooped on a tree, and I had a devil of a time trying to get his poop out of the bark. PITA! But the habit gradually wore off.
While group projects can often lead to frustration and discord among participants, they are initially intended to promote teamwork and establish a sense of responsibility for each individual in the group. This model of cooperation aims to bring out the best in educational settings but isn't always effective. Understanding the reasons behind this can lead to better strategies, similar to how some communities laugh and learn from hilarious situations their pets get into.
For more insights into the challenges and humorous tales of group projects, check why people often have mixed feelings about them.
