Reposting isn't bad, but telling lies in the title is just stupid.

[–]skidoosh123 5 points6 points ago

I understand reposting something that hasnt been around in a while, but this was posted less than a week ago. At least wait a little bit longer than that, especially when trying to claim it as your own.

[–]meliaesc -1 points0 points ago

The whole point of reporting is to get a reaction for people, and gain karma for some. This title achieved its purpose, and something else wouldn't have made people smile/whatever as much. It's a formula that works, no need to change variables.

Not saying reposts are good etc, but it makes sense to use the best possible title rather than "I found this on reddit" or "A cute puppy."

Hey, this guy's a phony!

A big fat phony!

The fattest phony!

No no no. OP has this picture as his desktop background at home. Simple misunderstanding.

[–]footballersrok 7 points8 points ago

Oh thank goodness. For a second I thought he was blatantly karma whoring and I was about to lose faith in all humanity.

[–]Jinglesthetiger -3 points-2 points ago

I second this

[–]SwinginCrabWhacka 21 points22 points ago

I would honestly be scared to repost because of people like you.

Keep up the good work.

[–]metricblue 10 points11 points ago

People like me! I remembered this one particularly because it's a super cute dog.

[–]SwinginCrabWhacka 1 point2 points ago

I keep forgetting that exists.

Thanks for reminding me!

[–]shootthezom 4 points5 points ago

Maybe this is the first poster's brother that actually owns the puppy? Probably not but maybe? I guy can dream right?

[–]scithion 2 points3 points ago

Good thing OP was considerate for those of us who didn't see it.

[–]AntarcticFox 7 points8 points ago

It's just the title that's awful. He could have just posted it under the title "cute puppy" but instead he had to lie and claim that the dog is his.

[–]goblinseverywhere 3 points4 points ago

Which is the only time I have an issue with reposts. When people specifically try and LIE while posting them and claim its theirs or its OC or something.

[–]zlo2 18 points19 points ago

That's gotta be the saddest thing in the world - pretending to own a puppy for imaginary internet points. The fuck is wrong with you, OP?

[–]jcy 10 points11 points ago

people these fucking reposts are done by marketers trying to harvest accounts heavy w/ karma so that they can more easily slip past reddit's spam filters

so fuck you for upvoting this

[–]cmmts 8 points9 points ago

a) repost and fake b) would kinda young to be left totally alone for the workday.

[–]DRwalrus1996 1 point2 points ago

of course i cant take you with me.... oh fuck it get in the car.

actual conversation i had with my dog today

[–]rKade 0 points1 point ago

What dog is that?

[–]JBFrench 2 points3 points ago

TWIST--OP is a faggot.

[–]Thediepend 0 points1 point ago

I wonder how you would feel if you had a grumpy cat that you left every morning..

[–]i_upvote_huskies 0 points1 point ago

My dog's sad as all hell when I leave. If he smiled I'd wonder either if he hates me, or what he's planning the minute I shut the door.

[–]quickie_ss 0 points1 point ago

Handsome little guy.

[–]Pieter15 1 point2 points ago

I've been a lurker here awhile and I still don't get why people do this...Is karma THAT important?

[–]Donski1982 -1 points0 points ago

Let me dogsit while you go out! I'm officially in love with your puppy

[–]cavagan 0 points1 point ago

Dogs don't smile.

[–]urmyfavoritecustomer 0 points1 point ago

[–]I_LOVE_ASPARTAME 1 point2 points ago

i want to let that puppy gnaw on my fingers.

[–]BORN_OUT_OF_A_VAGINA 1 point2 points ago

Rabbits like this are the cutest :)

[–]gyang333 -3 points-2 points ago

i don't use this word in real life, but hey, since it's the internet... OP youz a faggot

[–]Ontopourmama -2 points-1 points ago

His smile says " will chew all that you love and hold dear, as soon as I figure out how to get out of this cage."

[–]brokefukstick -4 points-3 points ago

That dog is in a cage. Why is that dog in a cage?

[–]thepasswordisfluffy 3 points4 points ago

because puppies can destroy the ever-living fuck out of an apartment, not only causing costly damaging but putting their own health at risk as well? Absolutely nothing wrong with using x-pens to isolate a puppy in a guaranteed safe area if you can't supervise them 24/7.

[–]skidoosh123 1 point2 points ago

Because it is what normal people do when they have to leave the house and cannot supervise their puppy 24/7? A puppy can be a risk to itself and its environment when unsupervised. I am guessing you are also against cribs for children?

[–]flutterbun -1 points0 points ago

aww Im always the same with my pets too x

[–]wingson010 0 points1 point ago

so cute !!

[–]jimmi114 -2 points-1 points ago

Falcor ! I can't be the only person that sees it....

[–]onfire9123 0 points1 point ago

When looking at a dog through bars, its cute. When looking at a Human through bars... what is it?

[–]skidoosh123 0 points1 point ago

I was put in a crib at night as a baby, and I turned out ok (arguably).

[–]onfire9123 0 points1 point ago

if it's arguable, then it's not a fact. and therefore, moot.

[–]princesskiki 0 points1 point ago

Opposite of grumpy cat! I love him!

[–]viwiv -2 points-1 points ago

stop eating animals!

[–]patstaffordjnr -4 points-3 points ago

[–]rathat -3 points-2 points ago

If it makes you feel better, dogs don't smile.

[–]skidoosh123 0 points1 point ago

My Australian shepherd would disagree with you

[–]rathat 0 points1 point ago

If he's a dog, he can't smile, sure they have their own range of facial expressions, but the dog in the picture is not smiling, it's mouth is closed and with the angle and the shape of his eyes, it looks like a human smile. I'm not saying they don't have a facial expression when they are happy, but they don't grin. And if it looks like they are, it's not an analogous expression to human ones.

[–]skidoosh123 0 points1 point ago

Sorry, but whether or not it is a scientifically correct term or not it is referred to as "smiling" when my dog lifts her lips up is a display of happiness. Never said this dog here is smiling. But I have seen dogs that I can only describe as "smiling" so unless you have a correct, dog-specific term for this, I suggest you move along and stop trying to be factual in aww

[–]Dezue 0 points1 point ago

Why is this dog in a cage?? For fuck sake let this dog out!

[–]SonofSin17 0 points1 point ago

Who would let the dog out?

[–]Dezue 0 points1 point ago

someone with heart or just someone who knows something about animals -> not like our OP
