Dogs are hilarious. They always approach life and its many obstacles with the best intentions, but their well-intentioned ideas sometimes turn into instant regret. Just yesterday, for example, my dog performed all of her best tricks for what she thought was a bag of biscuits. Let’s just say that she was less than enthused when she figured out that what she signed up for was actually a festive sweater and a Christmas photoshoot.
But unlike these dog moms and dads, I failed to capture her hilarious terror on camera. Check out a few glorious examples of instant canine regret.
1. “I eated the bee. I wish I had not eated the bee, but I did.”
2. “Dress up for the Christmas photo, they said. You’ll love it, they said.”
3. “What have I done?”
4. “Yeah, Mike? I’m not going to make it to that meeting.”
5. “I’m just trying to find myself. It’s not going well.”
6. “I cannot couch.”
7. “Me neither, dude.”
8. “I now know the bitter taste of betrayal.”
9. “Revenge is a dish best served cold, Mother. Remember that.”
10. “This was a great idea, until it wasn’t.”
11. “Here’s the thing, man. I just remembered that I wasn’t a cat.”
12. “Bring on the crippling student debt!”
I could go on forever about why dogs are the best, but their zest for life is really what seals the deal. They love hard, they play hard, and they express their soul-sucking regret and disdain for existence with the same level of dedication.
If you need me, I’ll be chasing my dog around with treats until she gets past the sweater incident.
