My dog Ralph the Girl is prone to grumpiness, particularly when she feels she’s being ignored. She grumbles, groans, and flops over dramatically as if to say, “I can’t even with you people.”
Of course, she’s so darn cute, I can’t help but smile when she starts grumping around. If you’ve ever said “my dog is grumpy,” you know what I mean.
It’s not nice to laugh at their discomfort, but the fact is, grumpy dogs have the power to turn human frowns upside down.
We’ve gathered an assortment of the grumpiest dogs on the internet to put a smile on your face whether you’re the devoted parent of a grumpy dog or just a casual grumpy dog fan. Get ready to get your grump on!
