dogs

These good dogs have important responsibilities like finding things and calming people down. These dogs are the answer to the question "who's responsible? Oh boy, who's responsible?" For more dogs, here are tired dogs in awkward sleeping positions and stuck dogs who need a hand.

They say let sleeping dogs lie, but that might lead to back problems. We've seen dogs do some amazing things, and being able to turn into tired goop on a couch is now one of those things. Some of the physics her makes no sense, but we're here for it. Dogs can get themselves in some precarious situations, like these stuck dogs that need a hand.

We need more stories of this troublemaking Pomeranian, stirring up all kinds of ruckus around the neighborhood. Twitter user @Cmpriest, tells a hilarious story of "Chunk" being a big old rascal. 

It's extremely satisfying to think about our pets having distinctive personalities, and animals with peculiar facial hair make them even more distinctive. Here are some cats with mustaches, a few goatees, some dogs with beards and a monkey with a fu man chu. Here's an informal history of how cats became domesticated, or just a silly post about a peculiar cat that likes being in the fridge.

The general idea here that if a dog is so small that it can be picked up, and never taken seriously, little dog owners have no reason to actually train them. Tumblr gets down some interesting pet rabbit holes (pun sort of intended), like the history of how cats became domesticated, or this take-down of fake service dogs.

There's a lot of room in this world for failure and misfortune, but sometimes it's healthy to have a little bit of compassion and indulge in some wholesome memes because life isn't always bad. So here are some uplifting and light moments because those exist too.

This guy asked the people of Reddit whether or not he was in the wrong for dipping into his savings, and dropping $5K on a surgery for his dog without asking his partner about it first. Sounds like she went ballistic upon realizing that he didn't run his decision by her first. 

Yeah, they cover just about everyone you'd see on the street. If you see yourself or someone you know in here, don't feel bad, just realize that we're all just a bunch of predictable jackasses.

Blair Braverman introduces the special and talented crew in training for the Iditarod. This might be your new favorite sport!

We're huge fans of a good old fashioned photoshop battle. Seeing a frog get turned into a convincing Princess Leia is something we'd never thought possible until now. We're truly in a golden age of photo-editing based humor competitions.

This family's loyal, giant Mastiffs successfully stopped an evil-minded, stalker from breaking in and doing god knows what. Sounds like the guy had duct tape and a pickaxe in his backpack. He was no match for the Mastiffs though. 

Three years ago it all started, and now it comes full circle. Seeing as the internet is usually just one giant dumpster fire with all manners of trashy nonsense, this right here, is a refreshing, wholesome, twist. 

One of the problems with being a dog is that you have to explore with your face. Sometimes when dogs root around they try to eat bees or get stung by them. Like people, dogs can have responses to bee venom that can be mild to severe, but with proper treatment they just swell up for a while and end up fine. Anyway, for more dogs who've gotten themselves into uncomfortable situations, here are some stuck dogs who need a hand.

Those NYC subway commuters were not about to be psyched out by a little ban saying they couldn't bring dogs on the subway. So, they adapted and now we get to enjoy a ton of New Yorkers walking around the subway with their dogs in ridiculous bags. 

Chella Phillips, a resident of the Bahamas, manager of a dog refuge, and self-advertised "crazy dog lady" has taken in nearly a hundred stray dogs in order to protect them from the looming Hurricane Dorian. It's staggering seeing so many dogs in one place, and it's obvious the situation is a complex one, but with the alternative being leaving the dogs out in the storm to fend for themselves, this is a pretty impressive undertaking. In the lighter world of taking in stray animals, we've got a craigslist fail here of a sorely mistaken animal lover who thinks they've adopted a stray cat.

The best part about the fact that this guy got matching "neutered" tattoos with his dog, is that he didn't mean to. A solid case study in the importance of understanding what a tattoo means, before you decide to go through with it. That being said, it made for one hilarious, yet wholesome fail.
