Our furriest family members can be a source of joy and laughter. They are an integral part of our lives, which means we often try to include them in some of our most significant milestones. From engagements to weddings, including a beloved pet can be an important part of a big day—but it’s also one that can quickly go awry!
Pets can be unpredictable, and in this digital age, some of their funniest blunders have fortunately been captured for all to see. For your scrolling pleasure, we’ve compiled this list of 10 funny pets with a knack for crashing pivotal moments.
A picture might be worth a thousand words, but a beloved pet photobombing your engagement photo shoot? Priceless.

Consider this a two-for-one special. It seems as though these two canines were included in their parents’ special day, only to add a bit of unexpected sass to the nuptials. Henry has settled for a devious side-eye, while Bronx seems to have missed the memo to say “cheese!”

He objects! Whether this Tabby cat belongs to the happy couple or not, he certainly has something to say. Capturing a romantic kiss amidst lush greenery was the picture-perfect moment—until an unexpected third wheel arrived.

Louie the Dachshund could barely contain his excitement at the thought of his parents getting engaged (okay, maybe it was excitement over the pile of leaves). The couple decided on a gorgeous autumnal photoshoot, which quickly was overtaken by Louie’s jumping for joy!

Pics or horse camp didn’t happen. While taking a serene shot with one of these magnificent animals during a riding lesson, these girls got lucky and happened upon one of the most photogenic creatures known to mankind. This horse’s selfie game is strong!

Sit. Stay. Roll over. Steal the show! For better or for worse, this dog decided it was time to shine during mom and dad’s wedding vows. Despite the distraction, these pet parents will surely love and cherish their canine (and wedding photos) from this day forward.

Life on the emu farm must be pretty good, considering this sweet smile. The bird’s impeccable timing is photobombing gold and makes this unique moment amongst these animals even more memorable.
Family cat would like to be let in, please
This interesting story about women of color finding love in Italy is an example of the kind of perspective great journalism can provide, b/c it challenges a lot of what I've read about WOC facing racism there. Sidenote. Would someone please let the cat in. https://t.co/LHLYPIwhvn pic.twitter.com/WIO62lgagq

Not even an editorial portrait by the New York Times would keep this ginger kitty from insisting that he’s been outside for too long (like probably a whole 5 minutes!), as Rover lead editor Gwendolyn Elliott noted on Twitter a few years ago.

Parents of more than one pet will know this struggle. Sometimes you just want to capture moments with one cat or dog, but the others feel a little bit left out. We’re guessing that’s what happened here. You’ll see it when you see it.

This dog’s human was proudly conducting a photoshoot with their good boy before a calico cat made her creepy debut. Is this a scene out of a horror movie? Or just a photobombing gone wrong?
