And they took the time to take a photo????

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

It was worth it!

[–] ComfortableRaspberry@feddit.org 18 points 1 year ago

I mean, the damage was done already and it's a great picture. I also think a few more seconds hadn't such a big impact. It's also possible that one person went out to turn off the water and the other one took the photo.

Of course they did. We have a similar agreed upon rule in our house regarding kids, whenever they do something bonkers: "First, the photos, then the kids".

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 year ago

I would have. It's a great picture with a funny story, for the low price of having to mop a bit more water

[–] Holistic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Maybe its a security cam

Honest reply: I wouldn't even be mad. That's too hilarious / clever.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'd be mad though, I'd wonder where my dog stole the hose from, and how he managed to install a doggy door...

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Eh, I'd still be impressed and curious if they could also install anything else around the house.

I left my dog shut in the lounge when he was a puppy, when i came back inside half an hour later he had scratched/chewed a hole in the drywall in an attempt to follow me out. Adorable little shit.

[–] Beetschnapps@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Well shit if the sweet dood actually managed all that I’d be legit impressed.

Like Baxter eating ALL the cheeses.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

nobody volunteers to clean the ceiling in my house

[–] Skunk@jlai.lu 14 points 1 year ago

I remember this photo from years ago, it was one of my favourite photo on internet.

Thanks for bringing it back up, this time I’m saving it.

He just wanted to including you in the fun.

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

God this dog is like my spirit animal or something.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 7 points 1 year ago

Accidental renaissance.

[–] TTH4P@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

It's all about maximizing fun in your safe space

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago

Maybe it was raining outside.

[–] NegentropicBoy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

One of life's highlights.

I'd say no. It has a ton of camera artifacts that ai doesn't do. Glare through the doggy door. A smudge where his tail wags, etc
