Goofy Animal Photos That Will Have You Laughing Out Loud
Although it tends to be an animal's raw cuteness and affection that compels people to bring them home, it rarely takes long before the people who do so learn how funny they are.
Pets can have some weird behaviors that only make sense to them but their adorable enthusiasm as they frolic around makes the nonsense so endearing. And we're in luck because the photos available today are equal parts funny and adorable.
The Perfect Sign Of Wellness

Judging by the setting, it doesn't take much guessing to figure out that the dog in this photo had recently undergone surgery. According to Reddit user riccarjo, the pooch had only been awake from anesthesia for 20 minutes by the time this photo was taken.
However, if there was any worry that this dog wouldn't come out of it without feeling sluggish or sickly, that worry was dashed right away. That's because it immediately started begging for this guy's pizza.
A Star Is Born

It's likely that this dog was just yawning when this photo was taken but it definitely looks like it's busting out a killer vocal run.
That said, even if it were howling along to some music as dogs love doing, it probably wouldn't be the first time that one actually did it into a microphone.
In Another Time, This Would Be A World-Conquering Meme

In the early days of the internet, all you needed to get the internet's attention was a relatable and dramatic photo of an animal, especially a cat.
If this photo had come out during that simpler time, you probably would start seeing it on T-shirts because this is such an adorably dramatic face. What could the cat be reacting to?
You've Got To Do What's You've Got To Do

Although it looks a little bit silly, there's an actual practical reason why this dog is covered in plastic shopping bags. Apparently, the only way to convince her to go outside to do her business when it's raining is to give her this makeshift raincoat.
This comes as a funny little irony to the owner, who said that this is the same dog who sees nothing scary about chasing coyotes. That would frighten anyone responsible for her, though.
This Cat's More Dignified Than They Thought

While dogs can be trained to go outside when their bladders and bowels are full, cats are typically expected to handle that business in their litter boxes.
However, it seems that this one has decided that if the humans in the house are going to use the toilet, it's only right that she does the same. Maybe she'll feel differently if she falls in.
It's Easy To Figure Out What This Dog Wants But No Thanks

Pets can be pretty weird sometimes, and in this case, Reddit user MissAbbyMcc was minding her own business when her dog came up and stood like this for a few minutes.
While it's understandable that he'd be frustrated that other dogs don't have the right hands for spanking, he'll have to learn that they simply don't have that kind of relationship.
Handle Them With Care, But Grumpy Cats Are Adorable

While grumpy cats can be so cute when they're not biting or scratching you, it's not just how done with everything this cat looks that makes this picture so funny.
As Reddit user Kissegrisen explained, "The neighborhood kid loves my cat and insists that my cat loves her back." Going to have to disagree with the kid on that one.
It Was A Big Adjustment For Everybody

Back in 2020, so many people found themselves needing to spend most of their time at home when March rolled around. Some didn't mind that part and others hated it, but this dog wasn't sure what to think.
Since the pup wasn't used to this image's uploader being at home so much, it just curiously stared at them from different parts of the house throughout the day. That tilted head expression is so cute!
That Is A Look Of Pure Betrayal

While it's true that the lighting has a way of completing this effect, even the happiest and most colorful lighting couldn't lessen how much this cat looks like it wants revenge.
What's got it so aggrieved, you may ask? Well, this image's uploader got a tuna sandwich from Subway and the cat has just sat and stared like this the entire time they've had it with them.
They May Not Excite Us But This Dog Loves Them

For a lot of people, carrots are something that it feels responsible to eat rather than something they necessarily get excited about. Yet, while some dogs may agree, this one can't believe their lack of enthusiasm.
Although the looks scared of the carrot, that's just how passionately excited it is to eat it. If only life was always this simple.
That's About To Stress A Lot Of People Out

At least when a child comes home with something they shouldn't have like a neighbor's keys, it's usually possible for their parents to eventually get to the bottom of where they got it.
However, whoever is going out of their mind looking for them may be searching forever, since this cat's obviously not going to submit to any interrogation. Even if she could talk, that look in her eyes says she wouldn't.
That Pit Bull's Face Says It All

Apparently, this pit bull was convinced that it was the biggest dog at the park and had the confidence to match. Obviously, that confidence evaporated completely when this big Newfoundland showed up to play.
Honestly, given that breed's reputation, playing is probably all the Newfie wants to do. Clearly, the pit bull isn't interested in taking that chance and is running for its life, which is only confirming to the Newfie that this is part of a game.
This Cat Is Either Effortlessly Cool Or A Really Good Sport

Apparently, the uploader's little sister found this chain and sunglasses for her cat, which meant they just had to snap this endearing shot of it laying around and basking in its coolness.
Indeed, it must know exactly how it looks right now because this isn't something most cats would put up with for long. At the very least, they'd bat the sunglasses off.
At Least It's Supposed To Be A Compliment

Apparently, the image uploader's dog got so excited by them returning home for the holidays that its bladder couldn't take it. Even with that explanation, though, there are still a few unanswered questions.
Namely, how did it manage to urinate this circular design out? Did run around to do this or spin around like a sprinkler? Either way, that caption is 100% correct.
Cats Don't Just Sit When They Fit

Considering how squishy their bodies are and how adventurous and agile cats are, it's hard to think of a place that one of them can't fit into.
One wouldn't expect this position to be comfortable but nobody make this cat hang out between the rafters. The best part about this weird position is how casual it is about it.
This Teacher Might Actually Accept This Excuse Now

Even now, it's likely that teachers still hear the old "my dog ate my homework" excuse from time to time. However, it's definitely an unusual day when the students all hear it from the teacher.
Yet, the naughty but joyful look of this Siberian husky and the scattered, torn papers around it are proof positive that the teacher's dog didn't just mess up one kid's homework, but everyone's homework.
It's Not What It Looks Like

Upon looking at this photo, it would be reasonable to assume that this cat was either hopping mad when this photo was taken or some kind of evil genius.
As it turns out, however, this is what the cat looks like when he's having fun. So, he may not be angry but the jury is definitely still out on him being a villainous mastermind.
Well, At Least One Of Them's Happy About This

As Reddit user Kanyee explained it, the pug is a new puppy who was brought into the family. The goofy little fellow is being an adorably excited little gremlin about it, which only makes the other dog's reaction funnier.
It's hard to give a look that conveys fear and "get a load of this guy" at the same time but the larger dog here definitely pulls it off.
The Girlfriend's Feelings About This Are Complicated

On one hand, this picture is everything that Reddit user Arsenicyellow could have dreamed of. With so many horror stories of people hating their partners' cats out there, it must come as such a wholesome relief to see them share a big laugh like this.
However, the problem with your boyfriend having adorable inside jokes with your cat is that you're not one of the ones inside of it. As she put it, "I feel like the third wheel."
The Dog Is Not Amused At All

For those wondering why the rest of the dog's body is so much furrier than one of its legs, that was the result of either a work emergency or an impulse one dad didn't think about all the way through.
That's because he was planning to groom this dog but had to leave for work before the job was anywhere near finished. If our barbers or hairstylists did the same thing, this would probably match our facial expressions.
The Wholesome Boyfriend Who Set This Up Is A Keeper

Apparently, Reddit user Pretending2beme needed their boyfriend to watch their cat for a while and they texted him to check on how that was going.
From the looks of things, it's going quite well. Not only is he teaching the cat to play Yahtzee but the cat has managed not to get bored and walk away. That's no small feat!
Hilarious For Us, Nightmarish For The Owner

Reddit user pitx1 explained that before this photo was taken, their dog escaped. Naturally, that was a frightening experience but the good news was that the dog returned home safe.
However, the bad news was that it didn't return on its own. In its mouth is an unopened order of nachos that was almost certainly swiped from a neighbor's porch before they could pick up their order. It's rough knowing your dog is a porch pirate.
Cats Are Either Clueless Or Always Three Steps Ahead

While it's not unusual for cats to freak out at things we wouldn't even think to look twice at (like cucumbers), it's also possible for them to display such subtle and diabolical intelligence that it's a little intimidating.
For instance, Reddit user cbugg thought their cat was just being weird when they decided to wear away a specific part of their window blinds. However, it turns out that the cat's master plan was to have a little peephole from outside. Very clever but why?
Well, It's Good To See She's Enjoying Doggy Daycare

After Reddit user pablosnazzy dropped this happy girl off at doggy daycare, they soon received this pic from the staff, who said she was having the time of her life.
Considering that this looks like someone recast Gentleman Prefer Blondes using only dogs, that seems to go without saying. At least, "Dog treats are a girl's best friend" still fits the meter.
This Scene Started Cute And Got Even Funnier

Pets are at their funniest when they aren't trying to be and this cat amusing itself behind the TV never expected to have an audience. Of course, this peeking face is too adorable not to take a picture of.
However, in so doing, Reddit user FutonSpecialOps's wife made this moment even more fun by making it look like the cat's head was on her body.
This Looks Grim But It's Actually Adorable

Between the rain on the window, the black car, and the dog's aggrieved face, this looks a little like when a TV show is depicting someone about to leave a funeral. However, the reason for the dog's melancholic face is far more low-stakes.
Once the rain started, Reddit user hawk-queen understood it was time to leave the dog park early. However, the dog saw this as an incredible betrayal that not even a car ride could smooth over.
It's Not Unexpected But It's Still A Joy To See

Cats will try to eat many things in their lives but one of their biggest favorites is seafood. And while that's likely true of this hungry little kitty, she's particularly obsessed with shrimp.
Apparently, she makes this exact face any time there's shrimp on the table and it's hard not to envy being filled with this kind of reverent wonder about anything.
He's Making A Lot Of People Feel Bad

When Reddit user Brandy_Bran posted this picture of their dog, they explained that while any visitor doesn't have to worry about him biting, they may still find the dog intimidating.
After all, he may not do anything physically but he judges. There's no way he knows all of your sins but he's very good at giving that impression.
It's Not The Most Conventional Pet But A Loving One

Reddit user supvicko has an ostrich named Rose and the way he describes her makes her sound so sweet, intelligent, and energetic. Apparently, she loves humans but is absolutely obsessed with deer.
She's about seven months old but she can already run extremely fast and loves to explore with her beak. If the deer are skittish enough to run from her, she may very well catch them.
He's Not Just A Good Boy, He's Super

Sometimes, it's hard not to be impressed with the photos you take in life. And when Reddit user Misskaclark caught this shot of their dog jumping, they knew it was something special.
It's not just that he's happy and energetic but he's also able to leap high logs in a single bound. There could very well be photos of him with his head stuck in a cereal box but for now, her's Superdog!
