12 Ways Dogs Are Completely Overrated

For Dog People
By Chona Kasinger

Share512Tweet0Pin It1

Puppies tumbling all up on one another in lush grass? Booooo-ring. The gleam in a dog’s eye when it sees a body of water it can’t wait to jump into? Meh. The helicopter tail wagging when we walk in the door from work at the end of the day? It’s whatever. Read on for 12 more ways dogs are totally overrated.

That Whole Spinning Deal Before Pooping


Powered by Giphy

Modern science tells us there’s a method to this madness…but ain’t no one got time for that.

Walking Is So Yesterday


Powered by Giphy

You mean we actually have to get off the couch and turn off Mad Men? Nooooo!

Begging Like It’s Going Out of Style


Powered by Giphy

Your dog knows every trick in the book and could practically do this for a living.

Guilt Tripping Like You Wouldn’t Even Believe


Powered by Giphy

That resigned sigh or whimper when your buddy knows you’re heading out the door almost makes us want to call in sick sometimes.

Who Even Cares About Cuddling Anymore?


Powered by Giphy

Yuck yuck yuck.

Company Schmompany


Powered by Giphy

Whether it’s a car ride to the grocery store or brisk run through the park, we’re always appreciative of the company our four legged buddies offer.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz


Powered by Giphy

Sound familiar? And to top it off? The way their noses wiggle when they’re dreaming? We’re immune to this kind of cuteness…NOT.

Hauling That Behemoth Bag of Dog Food from the Grocery Store to the House


Powered by Giphy

Only for you, buddy…only for you.

Having Fur-Free Anything


Powered by Giphy

Seriously, where does all this fur even come from? Discretion is totally overrated—look at this industrious squirrel trying to hide his acorn in this Bernese mountain dog’s lush black mane.

The Furniture? That Stuff Is Overrated


Powered by Giphy

Don’t mind us, we’re just going to sit on the floor over here.

The Doctor Is In


Powered by Giphy

How do they always seem to know when we need a little more TLC? Regardless of the situation, Doctor Dog is always available for house calls.

Being Perfect Overall


Powered by Giphy

We can’t get enough. But hey…perfection is totally overrated, right?
