16 Dogs Who are Terrible at Their Jobs

For Dog People
By Carla Sparks

They say to make a dog feel important, he needs a job to do. But what do you do with a dog who’s unemployable? Give him a cuddle and call it day. Get ready to laugh at some loveably inept dogs who may have heard, “don’t call us, we’ll call you,” more than a few times.

1. This delivery dog with all the best intentions.

Pizza Hut had to change their “30 minutes or it’s free” guarantee because of him.

2. This fire “fighter.”

Giphy

Giphy

What you’re doing is the opposite of helping.

3. This sleepy babysitter.

Giphy

Giphy

Actually, TBH, this performance is on par with most babysitters, and at least this one didn’t invite its boyfriend over.

4. This ghost hunter.

The EVP and EMF meters were going off the charts but results were still inconclusive.

5. This pack of sled dogs.

Giphy

Giphy

Uh, guys, I think you’re supposed to be pulling the sled, not sitting in it wearing matching winter outfits.

6. This esthetician.

Giphy

Giphy

Is this a standard exfoliation technique?

7. This retriever with poor depth perception.

Giphy

Giphy

Every athlete starts somewhere.

8. This wilderness expert.

Would you trust this dog with your safety in the wild?

9. This ‘fraidy dog.

Giphy

Giphy

It walks like it’s never seen a giant, moving, inflatable cat before.

10. This sous chef.

I don’t care if he went to Le Cordon Bleu, this dog’s mise en place is a disaster.

11. This pool boy.

Giphy

Giphy

Someone tell him to suck it up and use the skimmer next time.

12. This hair stylist.

Giphy

Giphy

“Bed head” is so last year, this year is all about Italian Greyhound head.

13. This cumbersome companion.

Giphy

Giphy

The miscalculations of both the throw and the flexi-leash are all on her, though.

14. This reluctant frisbee player.

Giphy

Giphy

Giphy

Giphy

Giphy

Giphy

Giphy

Giphy

We’re using the term “play” loosely here.

15. This driver’s ed instructor.

Giphy

Giphy

Not even sure that car is street legal…

16. This anti-establishment golden retriever.

Why follow the rules when you can live large and still have everyone applauding? Is this dog terrible at his job, or does he actually have it all figured out?
