[–]Smilemon 1109 points1110 points ago

My aunt had a service dog named M.D., and he could do all of these things, plus a few. If you showed him an object, he would remember it, and could retrieve it for you. There was a rag on the fridge door, so he could open the fridge and grab food for my aunt, but my uncle, being the joker that he is, decided to teach M.D. how to fetch beer so he didn't have to get up from the couch.

M.D. seemed to grasp the concept, and could recognize the can, but when my uncle put him to the test later that night, M.D. left and never returned. After about 10 minutes, my uncle decided that something must be wrong, and went to check up on him. M.D. had grabbed a beer from the fridge, but his teeth had lightly punctured the can and he had dropped it. Confused, he had tried again, and again, and again. There were punctured cans of beer all over the kitchen floor, and one very distraught dog in the middle of it all.

I think the thing I loved most about that dog is how he would play fetch. My aunt would tell him to sit, then drive her wheelchair a few hundred feet, and drop a tennis ball. When she yelled fetch, he would run over, pick up the ball, and put it in her lap. A game of fetch might last 30 minutes, with only a few "throws," but M.D. never seemed to mind.

He was the smartest dog I ever met. He, and the person who trained him, are heroes in my mind.

[–]serenduckity 628 points629 points ago

The part about him being distraught about the beer situation made me want to laugh and cry. Poor little guy, just wanted to be helpful!!

[–]Smilemon 235 points236 points ago

Haha, yeah. It was funny, but it was also a really good lesson in what isn't appropriate to make your service dog do.

[–]OCPScJM2 90 points91 points ago

More examples of inappropriate service dog tasks?

[–]Smilemon 230 points231 points ago

Haha... I don't have any off the top of my head, but I do remember that M.D. had a stuffed duck, which was his only real toy, and he absolutely loved it. My aunt came to visit my family up in Alaska, and our husky trolled that dog to no end. She would steal the duck, bury it, and then after M.D. had frantically searched the yard and found it, she would do the whole thing over again. He didn't seem to enjoy it at all.

[–]serenduckity 209 points210 points ago

There I go again... crying about that poor M.D.

[–]Renegade917 31 points32 points ago

I imagine that the trolling of your fellow ducks adds to your feelings of sympathy!

[–]2Rare2Kill 60 points61 points ago

I heard about a service dog that would pick up trash and put it in the garbage bin for its owner. It got rewarded for this behaviour, so it eventually learned to take garbage from the can when its owner wasn't looking, and dispose of it for a free treat whenever his owner returned.

Smarter than half the human race, I swear.

[–]empireminer 3 points4 points ago

[–]theodrixx 23 points24 points ago

I love it. Serious dog and prankster dog.

They solve crime.

[–]Babboon7 23 points24 points ago

Haha the image of your husky trolling M.D has filled me with joy :)

[–]Smilemon 26 points27 points ago

She didn't ever play with toys either. I'd never really seen her pick one up until then. It was bizarre, but hilarious.

[–]latecraigy 17 points18 points ago

"told that bastard to get away from my family, this'll keep him busy for a while"

[–]DeepDuh 11 points12 points ago

It's just like in the human world. The super intelligent nerds ALWAYS get bullied. It's a principle of nature! I wonder how humans were able to become intelligent after all. There may have been a jump where the intelligent ones were able to actually kill their bullies ;-).

[–]Kwizi 50 points51 points ago

I train guide dogs for the blind. When I was just a puppy-raiser, with my first dog, we were doing so well that I decided to teach her extra stuff than the ones we were appointed to.

Among those was to turn the light on in a room for me. Didn't realize how stupid that one was until I started visiting the blind people, and they told me to please not forget to turn the light off when I leave, as they then get huge electricity bills for nothing. Ooops!

Another thing I did was teach the dog to open doors, and she was big enough to do it without the need of a rag attached to the handle. She learned that pretty quick in a couple sessions. Now these service dogs can come wherever I go, so it took me quite some days until the situation came up that I wanted to leave her home while I leave. I do my usual routine, say bye to her in my bedroom, close the door and get ready to leave. My dog is there. Oh no, you are staying this time. I put her back in my bedroom, get ready to leave and... my dog is there again, next to the front door, eager to leave and ready to open that door too. UH-OH!!! I put furniture in front of doors and double locked them, and from that day on, I forbade my poor girl from opening any door ever again! (for the blind she simply has to indicate doors or handles)

And last inappropriate task I can think of is this: (not really a task but definitely inappropriate) smelling between people's legs. My puppy did it a lot, and I'd redirect her when she would do it. She does it in the most embarrassing way, she'd really stick her nose to the crotch and make a snorting nose as she'd smell it. I did sort of teach her not to do it, but mostly when she was on duty. When she was in relax mode, I'd kind of let her do it (by pretending I didn't see it happen). That's because I am pretty sure, no one would dare explain to the blind person that the dog is smelling their crotch in a too embarrassing way, and it made me giggle when I thought about it! (it's quite possible the guide dog school trained it out of her, but I can always hope...)

[–]Logg420 49 points50 points ago

the "turning on the lights" reminds me of my uncle who went blind. When I was younger (approx. 10-12) I was guiding him to the bathroom and I asked "you want me to turn the lights on?" His response: "Why? You want to watch?" RIP Uncle Al :) One of the great comedians in my life.

[–]ironmanthing 9 points10 points ago

yeah but wouldn't the dog need some light to perform certain tasks at night...?

[–]Kwizi 7 points8 points ago

There are hardly any tasks that guide dogs for the blind must perform inside at home. The only things we teach would be to retrieve lost items (like keys for example). And to that anyway I know my dogs looked more using their nose rather than sight, and also remember that dogs have a "tapetum lucidum" (I forgot how it is called in english, I only know the latin nomenclature for this) anyway they have something in the eyes which enable them to mirror the light and use it to see in much more dark places than us humans can.

As for public places, I would imagine they have lights on already. (but your question is quite smart, I might ask about it next time at the guide dog school)

[–]Kotton 7 points8 points ago

I think it's a lesson on thinking ahead. If there were some sort of protective device on the beers to keep the dog from puncturing the can it would have been brilliant! Perhaps a cozy would work.

[–]9ren 11 points12 points ago

The dog was punishing him, but "this hurts me more than it hurts you", because he's so sweet natured. But he knew he had to put a stop to the uncle's mischievous shenanigans right then and there... it was a lesson the uncle would never forget.

[–]igge- 202 points203 points ago

Oh god. When I read "M.D. left and never returned." I assumed that meant they would never see him again, so as I read the part afterwards I was thought he had died from alcohol poisoning, or ran out in the street and got hit by a car or something. Don't scare me like that again. All those feels..

[–][deleted] 62 points63 points ago

I had a weird mental image of a dog buying alcohol at a gas station

[–]Nachteule 22 points23 points ago

same here - I was expecting that there was no beer left in the fridge but the dog remembered the can from the local shop and went there.

[–]BonzoTheBoss 50 points51 points ago

Yeah, that was a risky read. After the "never returned" sentence I thought it was going to end horribly.

Phew.

[–]warium 70 points71 points ago

I have a Labrador, she also gets the concept of learning names for things, and we can tell her "Go get X" and she will search out the house and retrieve it for us, if its upstairs we have to tell her "look upstairs", and "outside" and such, she gets it, she is pretty smart. We also have a really stupid cat, she is called Blackie. One day i wanted to check if the dog would pick up on words that it was never thought, but could just put it together from context. So i said "Go get Blackie" ..... the dog knew, it did not end well.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points ago

how did it end?

[–]warium 44 points45 points ago

The dog chaising the cat, me chasing the dog all around the house. The cat looked like "Wtf just happened" and the dog looked like "finally, a leagal reason to chase the cat". I have never seen my dog happier, and my cat more scared. The cat ended up jumping on top of cabinet, and i caught the dog while she was trying to jump up there too.

[–]QcRoman 6 points7 points ago

Thanks for the laughs.

[–]SYKoff 8 points9 points ago

why not try bottles of beer instead?

[–]Smilemon 16 points17 points ago

That probably would have worked a lot better. I think there is some danger that a bottle could chip teeth though.

[–]molmu 21 points22 points ago

is it wrong that i am not dissabled and want a trained dog?

[–]Smilemon 25 points26 points ago

Not at all! Is it wrong for hunters to want trained dogs to help them hunt? With enough time and effort, you could train a dog to do all of these things. Dogs enjoy challenges, as long as you are positive with the training, I don't see how it could be bad.

[–]molmu 26 points27 points ago

to the chihuahua store it is!

[–]jhmartin 29 points30 points ago

Ranchito, fetch me a taco!

[–]gridster2 390 points391 points ago

Yesterday, my dog pooped outside. That is the smartest thing she's done in her life.

[–]brownboy13Delhiting your posts since 2012 228 points229 points ago

Good on you for teaching her by example.

[–]Ceejae 51 points52 points ago

Why do you get a blue dude? What makes you so special? I want a blue dude...

[–]brownboy13Delhiting your posts since 2012 63 points64 points ago

I had to do disturbing sexual stuff with one of the mods for this.

[–]LChurch 31 points32 points ago

Did... Did you have to put on the cat outfit?...

[–]brownboy13Delhiting your posts since 2012 31 points32 points ago

You have no idea what the sick fucker made me do to him. I'd rather not go into it. It's too traumatic.

[–]LChurch 12 points13 points ago

Shh, it's okay, we can stop here. May many years of awesome little blue alien karma sooth your wounds, friend.

[–]eggswithham 12 points13 points ago

[–]portalscience 4 points5 points ago

I just want you to know that I was checking your comment for errors, and lyrically speaking, you nailed it!

[–]Ceejae 7 points8 points ago

Ok so then lets imagine for a second that I have very little dignity, and could you please point me in the right direction? I want my blue dude.

[–]brownboy13Delhiting your posts since 2012 9 points10 points ago

If you insist, click the "...and 10 more>>" link in the "message the moderators" pane. It was the one below LuckyBdx4. It was that sick bastard. SOB

[–]Funk_Munki 2 points3 points ago

I see what you did there.

[–]brownboy13Delhiting your posts since 2012[M] 4 points5 points ago

:| It was still disturbing.

[–]ennui_delphian 252 points253 points ago

I can't even get my dog to roll over. He lays down, then I try any number of tricks to get him to roll over, then just a "Hey I'm a dumb fucking labrador, and I love you bro" look.

[–]sinfulcolors 67 points68 points ago

I taught my lab to spin in circles when I simulate a gun with my hand and say 'bang' but she won't play dead anymore. She more or less flops on the floor for a millisecond and springs back up for the treat.

[–]Harkonen_inc 139 points140 points ago

I taught my dog not to use my credit cards, he's damned good at it too.

[–]12khfan44 16 points17 points ago

I taught mine to not give a shit about what i say. He already knew to do that so I couldn't teach him.

[–]idramamine 29 points30 points ago

This is what my wolf hybrid does! "Bang, dead dog" has turned into "Seizure time"

[–]IAMAPirate 4 points5 points ago

I taught mine the exact same tricks and the exact same thing happens. He's too motivated by food.

[–]pippsqueak 2 points3 points ago

Try proofing his release word with simpler commands like sit. Then when he plays dead for longer periods of time, take a video so we can all go "Awww"

[–]largelion 48 points49 points ago

The first trick I ever taught my black lab was to play dead. He did it before he learned what sit was and now whenever he's in trouble he plays dead to lighten the mood. Works every time, that cute fucker.

[–]hnrqoliv182 3 points4 points ago

Ha, awesome

[–]assidental_sodomy 46 points47 points ago

Reminds me of my boyfriend's golden retriever. I know he can bark and crawl, but he replaces any command I give him with shake, even if there's no receiving hand out.

"Manny, speak," he gives me his paw. "Manny, give me a hug," gift of paw. "Manny, help me oh god I am on fire get someone," paw.

[–]eladnator 35 points36 points ago

i can just imagine manny sat there with his paw up while you slowly burn to death

[–]halfpastlate 4 points5 points ago

It's like the dog is saluting you as you die.

[–]Please_Stop_Shouting 5 points6 points ago

A little Nazi salute?

[–]halfpastlate 3 points4 points ago

Possible. If the dog is smart enough to salute you into the afterlife, it's smart enough to read up on the nazis.

[–]AffableJack 19 points20 points ago

I love that look.

[–]latecraigy 9 points10 points ago

My dog will sit with a big dumb grin as you throw the ball for her. I tried a stuffed toy to throw it and let her catch it and she let it smack her in the head. Pretty sure she considers me her entertainment.

[–]Tubonub 6 points7 points ago

When I say "spin" my lab does a 360. Maybe yours is just broken

[–]123leapfrog 12 points13 points ago

Thats cause these seeing eye dogs are the Navy Seals of labs and retrievers. Its amazing how high the standard is for a dog to become one

[–]Agent_Volkoff 3 points4 points ago

exactly what my labrador does, she is my silly chocolate lump

[–]GARBAGEDAYY 2 points3 points ago

I taught my dog a combo trick of sit, shake hands, lay down, roll over. Eventually, she got so excited for the inevitable treat at the end, she'd just start jumping and/or rolling around on the ground until I gave up and just gave her the damn treat.

[–]alextk 14 points15 points ago

I can't even get my dog to roll over. He lays down, then I try any number of tricks to get him to roll over, then just a "Hey I'm a dumb fucking labrador, and I love you bro" look.

There are no dumb labradors, only dumb dog owners.

Okay, that was harsh. Maybe just lazy dog owners who don't bother learning about the dog they just got.

Labradors are very smart and food-driven, which makes them very easy to train. Spend a few hours a day in the first few months to train them with simple techniques and you will be amazed at what your dog can do. Fail to do that and your dog will be miserable for his entire life and he will probably make your life miserable as well.

[–]MrMono1 12 points13 points ago

As a labrador owner, I agree. Smartest dog I've ever had. I managed to teach him to roll over in a night.

[–]otterfishing 47 points48 points ago

I had a lab that, no shit, loved to run full speed into things. We checked his eyesight - vet said it was perfect. Too much stored energy? There were 28 acres with a pond to swim in and fields for him to run around in. But he ran full speed into any obsticle he could get in front of him. Fence posts, doors, trees, people. He'd just barrel into everything.

But he knew how to sit. He could sit like a champ.

[–]Parrotism 5 points6 points ago

This may have something to do with them having a huge pain tolerance. When used as retriever dogs for hunting they swim through icy water no issues, bolt through thorny bushes, etc. Wouldn't surprise me if that pain tolerance extended into crashing into things. My mothers dog (edit, he's not a lab though) is the same. He has a crazy high pain tolerance and will full on run and crash into you because he gets all "zomgsohappytoseeyoueventhoughyoujustleftforfivemins" every time you walk in the front door. Even if you just went to the mailbox and back. He also likes crashing into furniture and playing rough with the other dog.

[–]Rids85 5 points6 points ago

My staffy bull terrier does this, she basically explores the world with her forehead.

This, quite literately, made my day. I'm still chuckling, and I'm riding with my partner in the ambulance (EMT) I'm getting odd looks. Worth it.

[–]cheeeee 10 points11 points ago

Why are you on reddit o.o

Cause the dog fucks her, which isn't funny, the funny part is they do it in the missionary position

you're the man now, dog

[–]facepalm_guy 119 points120 points ago

why am i laughing so hard at this???

[–]timbob968 71 points72 points ago

because dog rape is apparently funny. Just to clarify I thought it was funny too.

[–]thelegore 58 points59 points ago

See! A funny rape joke.

Dog can't consent.

[–]omgfullofstars 63 points64 points ago

The look on the dog in the last picture says otherwise.

[–]onedarkhorsee 4 points5 points ago

Yeah ill have to agree with that, maybe its one bark for yes and two for no?

[–]UOLATSC 10 points11 points ago

This round of upvotes is on me.

[–]PirateKingYackul 8 points9 points ago

That's horrible. And fucking hilarious.

[–]UnholyDemigod 23 points24 points ago

Because the last frame is the dog looking at you in a way that says "see all that? that was me. Getting shit done"

[–]erikcasey 20 points21 points ago

Yeah man, I dont get it either. And I have nothing to say that's funny either. It's just a cool picture.

[–]ryumast3r 10 points11 points ago

[–]OccamsHairbrush 6 points7 points ago

I figure because of brail on the keypad, she can do that part if the dog guides her hands to it

[–]Ineedauniqueusername 49 points50 points ago

She's in a wheel chair, and she's wearing glasses... She probably isn't blind! They're just demonstrating that the dog can retrieve cash and cards from an ATM, he doesn't work the machine!

[–]OccamsHairbrush 16 points17 points ago

You came here to challenge all my assumptions.

[–]haux 15 points16 points ago

Even if this is possible, do you really trust your dog with your credit card? Imagine waking up in the morning only to find out he had ordered a bunch of shit.

[–]Smilemon 22 points23 points ago

I answered this above. The dog puts the card in, and gets the cash. The lady probably has to enter the pin herself, but pressing 4 buttons is probably doable, whereas pulling a card out of a wallet, putting it in the slot, and mustering enough strength to remove the cash from the slot is far too difficult to do alone.

[–]carmi990 94 points95 points ago

How broken is this lady?

[–]awesomefabian27 67 points68 points ago

I read about her in a Spanish magazine. Sh has some disorder where she can't do much without breaking something. For example, she would dislocate her shoulder opening a door

EDIT: btw, her name is Kate and the dogs name is Byron. They love in London, I think

[–]Pineal 185 points186 points ago

Their love extends well beyond London.

[–]chasmo-OH-NO 2 points3 points ago

[–]mattrubik 4 points5 points ago

I thought you meant she can't do much without smashing something. Like she'd try to get cash out at the ATM and before she knew it she'd kicked the fuck out of the screen.

i love how in the last pic the dog looks like hes saying, "Bitch, i can do all those crazy tricks and you cant even get out of your computer chair"

Hey now, I can do those things too, but why would I when I can get my dog to do them for me?

not....funny

Please, /r/funny is not designed to be heartwarming. It is designed to be funny. This is not very funny. Please put future stuff like this in /r/aww.

[–]kaisersousa 6 points7 points ago

My dogs bark like assholes at other dogs at the fence. They're both big pussies when they meet any dog in person, but they're both super tough behind the fence. Most of the dogs on the other side will bark back, because that's just what dogs do. Some don't say peep back and keep on walking, but mine still bark anyway.

Except every so often, a woman in a wheel chair and her service dog go by. My two don't go nuts like they do with everybody else, they perk up and they just watch. Somehow, they know to respect that dog.

[–]beefnchicken 4 points5 points ago

Not entirely funny, but it brings a smile to my face none the less. Incredibly heart warming. There's a good amount of people that wouldn't do these things for her, and she's got a dog doin 'em. A dog.

[–]gleantheaspect 4 points5 points ago

Not funny. Just awesome.

[–]CrushNZ 3 points4 points ago

Not a clue why this is in r/funny. This is just amazing, this woman must have gained so much independence from having a dog like that. Hats off to that dog!

[–]imdrunkandposting 4 points5 points ago

Had to check if I was in right subreddit. How's this funny?

[–]minngirl 11 points12 points ago

This is awesome! Dogs like this don't get enough recognition. I used to work with disabled adults, and the therapy dogs we brought in made them so happy!

[–]IHateOpinionatedPpl 9 points10 points ago

I'm sure there is a very good reason why you can't pet a working dog but that sucks ass because they deserve the most praise.

Once they get kinda old, they go into soft-retirement. They still help out their owner, but they are under looser restrictions, and other people can pet them.

The reason you wouldn't want other people to pet them, is that a dog will lose it's loyalty pretty quickly if say... the husband can scratch his belly or ears, but the paralyzed wife can hardly choke out "Goo-d-d-d d-d-d-do-g." A true working dog will have been conditioned to accept the praise of their owner as the greatest reward in the world, even if it doesn't seem like much to someone else.

I was always told because when they were wearing their outfit, they went into working mode and not fun mode. At the end of the day, the owners will remove the outfit and they go into dog mode and have a good time and receive lots of pets.

[–]Smilemon 3 points4 points ago

To some degree this is true. Even with the vest off, we were never allowed to pet M.D., but he was much more relaxed with the vest off. I think the rules might be different depending on the type of service dog.

[–]emerkaza 9 points10 points ago

This should be in /r/awesome...not /r/funny. That dog is amazing!

[–]_nea102_ 9 points10 points ago

One of my friends is partially sighted and has a service dog (a German Shepherd) and it's an amazing dog. With his vest on he's all business and nothing will distract him from his duty. As soon as the vest comes off, he transforms into this big lovable playful dog. Amazing animals.

Good dog

[–]TwoFriends 12 points13 points ago

It seems like it would be so much easier to get a person to do these things for her. Albeit, more expensive.

[–]Smilemon 41 points42 points ago

Honestly, the dog is probably more trustworthy than a person. He will never try to take advantage of her, and you can't say with 100% certainty that a person would do the same.

[–]clothes_are_optional 12 points13 points ago

little do you know, look at his fur -- its amazing, clearly sneaking some money into his back pocket

[–]I_I_I_I_am_the_owl 5 points6 points ago

He probably skims at his second job at the bar

[–]Platypusy 14 points15 points ago

I agree, this dog is taking away valuable positions from hard working Americans. He probably immigrated here illegally and shit!

[–]Klathmon 2 points3 points ago

DEY DERK ARR JERBS!

[–]MertsA 6 points7 points ago

Pretty sure this is in London.

[–]Camelshark 9 points10 points ago

I don't see how this is funny. It is interesting though.

[–]Shiningthumb 3 points4 points ago

Wow...this subreddit is dying if you call this "funny".

[–]Mr_Flippers 3 points4 points ago

As cool as the dog is, I don't understand why it's in r/funny; there's nothing I see particularly humorous about it

[–]Fosse_The_Creator 6 points7 points ago

This isn't really funny...

[–]420Warrior 7 points8 points ago

:( that made me sad in that way

[–]dergadoodle 10 points11 points ago

The question is...how much do you trust this dog with your PIN number?

[–]jake314159 1 point2 points ago

Yes this is the bank there seems to be some strange purchases on your credit card, are you aware you just brought 50KG of dog treats and 200 stuffed toys?

[–]5kToSelfDestruction 6 points7 points ago

[–]Forty__Three 7 points8 points ago

HA! The joke's on you dog, everybody knows that the buttons by traffic lights don't actually DO anything!!

[–]nblank413 11 points12 points ago

Now, find a tiger that can do it and I'll see you on the front page.

[–]XtremelyNiceRedditor 2 points3 points ago

"its a living"

[–]williammaier 2 points3 points ago

Very nice post.But Funny is not a right category.

[–]Lion_Cub_Kurz 2 points3 points ago

Not sure why this was posted in r/funny though

[–]HereComeThePunches 2 points3 points ago

My dog would withdraw an extra $50 and pocket it.

[–]low_sodium 8 points9 points ago

I wonder if the dog gives her a treat when she poops?

[–]dimeslime1991 10 points11 points ago

I know all dogs go to heaven, but I hope there's a super-heaven for dogs like this

[–]naughtykitty93 6 points7 points ago

Give me 50 of these dogs, a blimp and I'll be just like Charles Muntz. But you know...without the whole dying thing

[–]iwtkalag 5 points6 points ago

My mom has a service dog right now. She's going through some tough times and he really helps her through it physically and mentally.

[–]wintrparkgrl 7 points8 points ago

[–]Smilemon 7 points8 points ago

Yeah actually. If the phone rings, the dog will pick it up and take it to the owner. Pretty sure they also know how to press an alert device, or at least get the attention of people in the nearby vicinity by barking up a storm, in the event that the owner gets in trouble or is non-responsive.

[–]OODanK 7 points8 points ago

Another good example! Dogs>cats

[–]CariniGambarini 11 points12 points ago

As someone who owns both, dogs are substantially better than cats.

[–]aaron-il-mentor 12 points13 points ago

Not really funny but heart-warming. Except the credit card one, that one is a joke.

[–]Smilemon 18 points19 points ago

It's not fake. The dog puts the card in, and retrieves the money. My aunt's dog could do this. I don't think the dog enters the pin number though, that would be beyond its cognitive ability.

My aunt, who was a stroke victim with only minimal arm mobility, could probably manage to do that part, but she couldn't have reached the card slot, or had enough strength to pull the money out of the slot.

[–]AllDesperadoStation 2 points3 points ago

Never tell a dog your PIN number.

[–]WutsUp 4 points5 points ago

The caption to the Dog's face in the last picture "Like a boss"

[–]soap_dispencer 1 point2 points ago

My dog is a lazy and obnoxious piece of shit by comparison.

[–]DtheK 1 point2 points ago

The last panel .. dog:"problem?"

[–]PelvoDelFuego 1 point2 points ago

My dog can't even sit on command.

[–]jonnybfromcle 1 point2 points ago

This dog does, with apparent ease, many things I have difficulty doing on a day to day basis. There are only two possible solutions for me; get a dog to do these things, or destroy all dogs. I can afford neither, any suggestions?

[–]345900 1 point2 points ago

Guess I'll be paying for that too.

[–]HB24 1 point2 points ago

I just wonder how many dogs have slobbered all over an atm I have used?

[–]jordanpants 1 point2 points ago

My husband called BS on the ATM part, so of course I had to try to prove him wrong. I was lucky this time.

[–]lth5015 1 point2 points ago

That dog is smarter than a lot of people I know.

[–]cefalord 1 point2 points ago

this made a single solitary tear roll down my cheek.

[–]UrbanJesus 1 point2 points ago

I love you, Ultimate Dog.

[–]folgaluna 1 point2 points ago

YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSE TO TELL ANYONE YOUR PIN!

[–]ky888888 1 point2 points ago

Top Dog!

[–]Downhilldude[!] 1 point2 points ago

Your move, cat lovers.

[–]twingecko56 1 point2 points ago

He's such a good boy...

[–]The_Painted_Man 1 point2 points ago

The last picture looks like it was saying:

"Check that out, motherfucker!"

[–]greatben1943 1 point2 points ago

The dog knows her pin number!

[–]JTyler82 1 point2 points ago

They also poop on command
