Okay that one dog might have also crashed, but he was definitely flying for a second. Good work, little flying doggie!

A. I hate the distractify interface. So many ads.

B. I have a vizsla (see profile), and this is exactly how nimble he is. It's worrisome, because he could fall hundreds of feet to his death, and I won't be able to get down there to bury what remains. Still, that dog has amazing agility and grace - he thinks he's a mountain goat - and it is always super fun to watch other dogs try to follow him and give up.

My son just completely lost it the Scottie and the fish. Thanks for posting this. :)

Also, there's a cat version! (If you're showing it to your kids, you'll want to scroll rapidly past #4.)

That Vizsla did not make a poor life choice!


He decided to become a ninja, and seems to be doing an excellent job at it.

By the third picture, Duke seems to have fully reconciled himself to life inside of a baby gate.

Pogo's dog seems to be practicing for the balance beam. /jealous

Wow, KFC, you've found an all new, even more obnoxious ad interface - replace the entire picture visitors are trying to view with an ad. How obnoxious. You made me mad at a webpage full of puppies. You are the worst.

PS: Your red velvet cake looks AWFUL.

What kind of dog is that in the fish one? Some kind of terrier?

For a fair and balanced approach; here's some cats in compromising positions.

Puppies getting stuck in fences is fairly common. If they managed to go forward they should be able to reverse, but it feels "wrong" so they never try it. It's much easier to whine loudly and wait for a rescue human.

Bit hard to tell; appears to be a wire fox terrier or wire fox mix. (Def not a Scottie.)

I will take that site's style over every other one where I would have had to click next at least 5 times to see all those pictures.

also here is an article about how dogs hug you with their eyes, which could probably be its own fpp, but i am very lazy.

Hmm, most of these just make me wonder what the hell kind of person takes a picture instead of doing something to help. Or consider the likelihood of the dog getting into that situation vs. some asshole setting them up for the photo. But the little dog with the fish, that was funny.

Then I will not share the video of me talking to my 2 year old who got himself half caught between the window and couch because he was climbing where he shouldn't have been. I helped him out immediately after.

a lot of these dogs just seem to have found an odd way to get their head through things but i do not think they are stuck and i do not think they regret their choices. i think they are happy to know what is happening in the Big Outside Smell Place.

i make that final corgi face at least 5 times a day.

basically that is what i imagine you look like IRL
