People Are Sharing Photos Of Their Pets Before And After Being Called A Good Boy

A simple compliment can do a lot, especially when it lands on a pet with a very expressive face. One Reddit user, going by the name 'JavaReallySucks,' shared a photo titled "Dog Before and After Being Called a Good Boy," and that one post quickly turned into a full-on pet photo trend.

People started posting their own before-and-after shots, and the results are exactly what you would expect: dogs looking proud, cats looking unimpressed, and plenty of pets acting like they heard something deeply suspicious. The whole thing is part wholesome, part hilarious, and completely relatable if you have ever tried to read your pet's mood.

We picked out some of the best examples below, and they get funnier the longer you look at them. Read on.
