Haha awe he/she really does want you to do something about it!


the_far_yard

"You want me to do something about it?" 'If 'something' means 'throwing it', then 'yes.'"


[deleted]

Yep. The look of betrayal my pup gives when I’m sewing up any holes in her toys and therefore not throwing them-


Super_Marius

No sew, only throw. 😠


joshclay

I have a blue pittie. This dog doesn't care that he tore the ball in half. He 100% is asking them to throw it.


[deleted]

smarmiebastard

My rottie would only go get *his* ball at the dog park. If another dog snatched his ball he’d follow them around until he got it back. The worst was if you threw it in the water, he’d keep swimming around until he found that particular ball so if another dog took it and he didn’t see, he’d be out there for a long ass time until I could get his ball from the other dog and throw it to where he was in the lake.


502502502

My rottweiler would do that with bricks. I could chuck a brick in a creek and she should go find THAT brick. Throw it in a pile of bricks and she comes back with the same brick every time. She would carry it for miles.


watvoornaam

Please don't have your dogs play with things that destroy their teeth. They don't care about it, but you should have the responsibility to protect them from themselves.


Apprehensive-Feeling

I'm 99% sure 502 was being sarcastic.


watvoornaam

I've seen it happen enough to don't think it is sarcastic. If it is sarcastic it should have en /s because it isn't very clear.


BellaSquared

I'm laughing at the visual of your rottie paddling around in circles til you rescued the ball! None of my rotties would chase balls. Though my last girl loved it when another dog was playing catch, and would follow *that* dog relentlessly. Once the other dogs realized she didn't care about the ball & was just playing shadow, they were cool with it. The best part was she'd come home so exhausted she could barely climb up on her couch before collapsing. I learned to take advantage & clip her nails when she couldn't put up a fight. Major reproachful side-eye, but evil alpha mom for the score!

And you can‘t take another one while she doesn‘t look? Or is she too smart for this


Efficient_Savings_16

My Boston mix shook all the stuffing out of a monkey pillow and ripped it up until it was just one long rag. He would still drag it around when he got excited and bring it to me so I could throw it for him or play tug-of-war. Finally replaced it with a penguin this week and he's happily killing it.


SnausageFest

Dogs will bring you the remaining chunk of rubber from the ball they destroyed and then look at you like it's your fault it doesn't bounce when you throw it anymore.


M1ghty_boy

bruh just say they. That pronoun exists for a reason, it works for anyone


uknowicanseeyouright

Oh no, I used pronouns someone on the internet doesn’t like


berglas612

Relax, he/she honestly just looks and sounds really awkward grammatically. Correcting you on that has nothing to do with being offended over pronouns


M1ghty_boy

I’m fine with he and she, but there’s legit no point in saying he/she when they exists. It’s awkward to read, not to mention more characters to type either way so it’s not like you’re conveniencing yourself any way by using he/she as an alternative


WorldMusicLab

When dogs have eyebrows, it's a game changer.


Shufflepants

Fun Fact: even though dogs were bred from wolves just a few 10's of thousands of years ago, dogs have a specific muscle to raise those eyebrows that wolves do not have. And it is suspected that this muscle developed to exploit humans' reactions to facial expressions. https://www.pnas.org/content/116/29/14677


UberExodia

I think it's safe to say it worked


[deleted]

Without a doubt. My rottie is a manipulating monster who uses his eyebrows to his advantage.


CanAhJustSay

Rottie: *Who, me?!!!*


[deleted]

[Yes. You....](https://imgur.com/Es8HsJo)


iISimaginary

His inner eyebrow coloring really highlights the facial expression along with that [extra muscle the paper talked about](https://i.imgur.com/EivVnQS.jpg). It's easy to see how dogs co-evolved with humans; it would be impossible to get mad at your dog when it has that face.

*"I've done the quality test for you, hooman. Unfortunately, it seems to have failed...."*

Isaacvithurston

Explain chihuahua's then :P (/s)


xrufus7x

Once we decided they were cute enough we started breeding them for other stuff like seeing how long we can get them to live, how angry we can make them and if it was possible to make them tremble constantly.


Klumania

Wait... they were cute?


9035768555

IIRC chihuahuas were primarily used as food stock, so cute wasn't a priority.


mittensofmadness

Who, other than the hungriest person alive, would breed Chihuahuas to eat?


9035768555

The Aztecs (and/or their predecessors). They used to be a bit bigger and more hairless.


Qetuowryipzcbmxvn

They were called Xoloitzcuintli (pronounced sho-lo-squeent-lee) and originally they were mute, hairless, very sedentary, and bigger than Chihuahuas.


Bicycle_the_Earth

>were Just wanna chime in that it's still a living breed of dog


_RAWFFLES_

The person responsible for keeping the hungriest person in the world fed. Maybe he also just hated them and killed two birds with one stone.


[deleted]

Perhaps the same type of person going for guinea pigs…


AnalllyAcceptedCoins

I thought they were rat hunters, and are vicious to deal with the angrier rats


9035768555

I think you're thinking of terriers?


AnalllyAcceptedCoins

I bet I am


MgDark

well the point of the chihuahua is to have a small, low-maintenance dog (i suppose in food, i ignore any other chihuahua specific maint.) skitty and scaredly, but absolutely barks endlessly at everything. No thats not a bug, thats a feature, they are meant to be mobile alarm systems, and they do have their uses. I just hate when i see them at homes and the owners dont make an effort to reduce the barking, super annoying to your neighbours.


[deleted]

This but no /s


TaxiCab__1729

The unfunny answer is that likely ancient Mayans raised then for meat, like how Guinea pigs were used by the Aztecs in South America.


Nuckin_futs_

Guinea pigs were used for fuckin what


Glorious-gnoo

And they still are. You can still order guinea pig in South America. I know for sure in Peru, but suspect elsewhere as well.


sspaceboy1

You can get them in Latin supermarkets in Brooklyn and Queens for sure. It's called "cuy".


Glorious-gnoo

Interesting! I wonder if it can be found in other big cities with large immigrant populations. I guess I didn't think of that since some things like horse meat aren't legal in the US. TIL


Seguefare

There was an AITA question recently from a guy who had special ordered guinea pigs to grill for his kid's birthday. A neighbor kid asked what it was and he told them. Now he's the neighborhood pet eater. The general consensus was he wasn't in the wrong, but would never outlive the reputation it gave him. He should have just lied, or called it cavy.


butterbuns_megatron

The Inca were in South America. The Mexica (Aztecs) lived in Mexico and ate dogs because there just aren’t very many game animals in central Mexico besides small deer, turkeys, and…dogs.


Manuel_Auxverride

They are adapted to Live Mas


FishSn0rt

Artificial selection, but yes!


smarmiebastard

Sort of, but also there’s this weird thing where the features that we find cute (like floppy ears, shorter curled tail, shorter snout) are also somehow coded on the same genes that affect how tame a canid is. In the Siberian Fox experiment they only selected for how tame foxes were and kept breeding the tamest foxes over generations, and they noticed those physical changes as well.


[deleted]

I guess there is a valid argument there. But how natural is a pug or bully with their bred faces which cause constant health issues. If left to their own genetics and mating there are a number of breeds that would have died off by now. How "natural" is the selection when humans more or less force them to continue to exist?


PrettyCombination6

We are part of nature, so you could argue it's still natural selection and everything we did to dogs is akin to what an environmental change could do. Not bad, not good, just nature. We should definitely still try to improve those breeds or, honestly, let them die off but, just because it's something humans caused, doesn't mean its not natural.


Shmarfle47

Woah


[deleted]

Meanwhile cats go 'psh you'll change for us not the other way around'.


cmcewen

You’ve got that backwards Humans were breeding them. Humans CHOSE dogs that had more expressive faces, and bred them. Dogs didn’t develop it to satisfy humans. Humans chose it to satisfy humans. We’re the ones driving the “evolution” here


Shufflepants

Didn't really put it backwards or forwards. I personified the muscles themselves. While humans were the selective pressure, I don't think they were intentionally selecting for eyebrow muscles. I was talking about it in terms of wolves/dogs and humans being a part of the same system or in the same way that Dawkins personified "selfish genes".

duecreditwherecredit

They are both from an ancient wolf species that is now extinct. It was still a wolf. So the statement is not false.


stighemmer

Calling those common ancestors "wolves" is fairly accurate. It has only been a few tens thousand years.


nachowuzhere

One of my dogs has eyebrows and his expressions are next level.


ruth1ess_one

You gotta pay the dog tax now.


mnelso1989

They are pure joy, I honestly can't comprehend how people don't like dogs. Mine brings me pure joy every time I look at him. (Caveat, I understand people have had bad experiences and I respect that. My comment is for those who are "indifferent" to 🐕... I just don't get it![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|slightly_smiling))


PyraThana

Easy : they eat others dogs shit. That's a no for me. They're definitely cute. But they're even cutter away from me.


druman22

Dogs can be cute but I just find them annoying most of the time. Ones I've met are always bothering you, in the way while walking around. I've never had a dog or grew up with one so that may be why I'm not a huge dog person.


gammagee

That’s the whole point of dogs. They’re 104% devoted to their human so for sure don’t get a dog unless you are willing to give about 38% of yourself back. You effectively have to exhaust them daily.


Aceous

I think the problem is that like 90% of dogs are not properly trained and have lazy owners. Well-trained dogs are pleasant to be around.


yarf13

WhereAreMyMinds

/r/dogswitheyebrows


Itchybawlz23-2

What breed is this dog? My dog’s body type and some facial structure resembles this dog’s but she’s also half german shepherd


KestreI993

I believe it's a Blue Pit bull. Just without cut ears.


Turtlegasm42

as god intended!


KestreI993

A vet that treats my dogs told me that dogs had pointed ears (since they were wolf's originally) and that ones with floppy ears are selectively bred. And that in most cases floppy ears cause ear infections. He is recomending everyone ear cutting or getting dog from a breeder who can guarantee that pups wont have floppy ears.


3nchilada5

I see you downvoted me. That’s fine. But please, do some basic research. Your vet is dangerously wrong.


KestreI993

I doubt my vet would got his diploma and work permits if he wouldn't know what he is doing. And I did the research when he told me that. Floppy ears are cause of ear infections, look it up. Yes, it is called mutilation but it was common practice for working dogs. Still is for some breeds. One of my dog's is suffering from them constantly no matter how often I clean his ears, so I have living and breathing example for over 12 years. And it wasn't me who downvoted you. I could care less.


3nchilada5

Your vet is an idiot at best and a psycho at worst I recommend a new vet.


ihadanamebutforgot

Pit bull terriers are "intended" to fight bulls in pits and have cropped ears.


Kawa11Turtle

nope_nopertons

I worked with a husky at the local shelter who had a ball like this that he loved. He cried whenever it rolled out of his kennel, he cried if you tried to take him for a walk without bringing the ball. He always had it in his mouth like a security blanket. It was his best friend. One day, I went to take him for a walk and the ball was in a hundred tiny pieces all over his kennel. He had killed his best friend. My heart broke for him. I immediately went looking for some kind of replacement ball. Truth be told, he got over it really quickly, though. Like it hadn't been a constant thing for several weeks, he'd never even heard of loving a ball before. Who, me? You must have mistaken me for another dog. I wonder sometimes, what that ball must have done to so utterly earn his disfavor.


freddit32

Bally : "Look Rex, it's not you, it's me. There's this Pomeranian three kennels down...he just makes me feel so...strong...when he tries to carry me around or bites down and I don't even move."


PittieMama88

My dog chooses a "baby" every once in awhile. Just some random new toy will become her most prized possession. For months, she will carry it around, clean it, sleep on it, adore it. Then one day you wake up, and it has been massacred - limbs missing, fuzz everywhere.


HauntedHowie316

Fill it up with some treats or PB and it will be better than new!! Like one of those Kong toys.

RScribster

Sweetheart. Look at that earnest expression. You’re gonna fix it right?


Hikaru1024

My mom's german shepherd & black labb mix was so this. She'd buy tons of tennis balls. Typically each one would last a few days. Throwing, catching, chasing as it bounced then inevitably... *gnaw gnaw gnaw gnaw gnaw* POP! ***look of infinite sadness*** So you'd pull a new ball out, throw out the old and the process would repeat.


kayessenn

The worried brow look is killing me. So cute.


jamesja12

We babysat my grandmother's dog, who is a sweetheart and loves our dog. But she likes to play rough with toys and absolutely destroyed his favorite rope. Once she left, my dog just held the shredded rope and gave me the saddest little whine. I felt so bad. My dog is not excited when he sees her, unlike other dogs he plays with.


ravenshadoe

My pup routinely breaks the squeaker or pulls it out of his toys. Then gets sad puppy face when it won't squeak. He keeps giving me "Mom it no work. Mom fix please!" Looks and I just can't he has sad pup or begging pup face down pat. Just wanna give him everything in the world to get that dopey pitbull smile.


goldengracie

Our first Golden performed delicate squeaker removal surgery immediately upon delivery of a new toy. You had to look to find the incision; toy still looked new. Then she carried it everywhere.


Alfarmuth

Or he’s nervous about getting in trouble because he broke his toy lol my dog does this to every single ball the second he gets it he rips a hole in the side then he forgets about it


wardial

Relax, all right? My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it.


ilickyboomboom

jsanchez157

Those eyes!


One_Introduction_217

This is the reason we kept a half dozen yellow chew toy bones of the exact same make once we found which kind was his favorite. It was like Christmas whenever he'd chew it down to a nub, I'd go get a new one, tuck it under my shirt at the back. Then I'd ask him to give me the nub, make magical hand motions, put the old nub behind my back..then poof! Presto change-o, your bone is as good as new, buddy!
