It's a lab, he's not scared just waiting for the release command so he can eat the paper. Very obedient and always hungry. Crazy labs.

I feel like "the first guy to ever fart" should be a Ryan George sketch.

"Air is exploding out of my butt am I dying??!"

My dog wakes up from his own farts and gets angry with his own arse for smelling bad.

I had an English staffy that farted himself awake at night and went full guard dog mode thinking there was an intruder. Felt kinda bad laughing my ass off, he was very serious lol

I understand shaming a dog for something they messed up, but this? I'm so confused 🙃

Think of it as a doggie confession.

[–] kruhmaster@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Is he confessing to being a dog? Because that's just normal dog behavior 😂

Our dogs are more bewildered than scared when they fart. Like, "What was that? Was that me?".
