Dog Gone Wild: Hilarious Dog Shaming Stories and How to Keep Your Home Safe

As a lifelong dog lover, I can’t help but laugh at those adorable and mischievous dog-shaming posts online. You know the ones — pictures of guilty-faced pups sitting beside hand-written signs that announce their ‘crimes.’

These stories are proof that pet parents have a great sense of humor and endless patience for their four-legged troublemakers. Let’s dive into some of my favorite confessions, courtesy of dogshaming.com.

Here are a few of the best:

“I eat anything plastic, throw it up, and then eat it again. Please recycle.”
“I’m Sadie. I ate a month’s worth of horse supplements. Hopefully, I survive!”
“I ate the pooper scooper.”
“I’m Fudge, and I ate the pretty Easter eggs my mom made with her kids when they were little.”
“I chewed up a full-sized bath towel — my parents had to pay $747 to have it removed.”
“I ate my mom’s stethoscope. She was not amused.”

As funny as these stories are, it’s a different kind of humor when it happens in your own home. Personally, my own dog has made it her life’s mission to test the indestructibility of every object I own, and she’s succeeding! The truth is, most of these naughty antics happen when dogs are left home alone. Without us, they get adventurous, and that often means mischief.

Why Not Bring Your Dog Along?

Next time, why not take your dog with you? Spending time together outside of the house can be a great bonding experience and an ideal way to keep your pet entertained and out of trouble. Plus, there are tons of new products that make bringing your dog along a breeze.
