16 Pets Taking Overdramatic Reactions To The Next Level
Pets have a way of turning ordinary moments into full-blown performances, and that is exactly why they are so hard to resist.
In this roundup, the stars are dogs and cats caught in their most dramatic moods, from offended stares to exaggerated sulking and pure treat-related chaos. The photos are funny on their own, but the captions make each one feel even more theatrical.
By the end, it is hard not to wonder which of these animals deserves the biggest spotlight.
1. "Due to certain complications, he was not taken to the park as planned, and now he won't stop staring at the wall."
2. "When you find out that you will not be going to the beach today,"
3. "Dad got artworks commissioned of some of the local dogs at the dog park..."
That is one very personal grudge.
4. "My coworker wants to discuss his treat allowance."
5. "He’s using his back leg as a pillow."
6. "Give me attention, please..."
7. "Doing some hard work..."
8. "He licked the medicine dropper once. Now he does this anytime I put it near him. Good thing it's not his medicine."
9. "Cheethz..."
Are animals really capable of feeling emotions?
Pythagoreans long ago believed that animals experience the same range of emotions as humans, and current research provides evidence that at least some animals likely feel basic emotions like joy, fear, anger, disgust, and, yes, love. However, animals do not experience more complex emotions like guilt, pride, and shame.
This is the same kind of heartbreak as dogs mourning other family pets, including owners sharing visits to a buddy’s grave.
Some of these faces make the answer feel pretty obvious.
10. "Sick and tired of all the social distancing."
11. "Bringing out the treat bag."
12. "Found this guy at Minnehaha Falls in MN; he has a great smile."
13. "I can never enjoy food alone in my house."
14. "My dog Sasha just being her perfect little self."
15. "My majestic pupper when she saw the bank teller bringing her a treat."
16. "She wants to try the new cat food..."
Are animals capable of feeling love for humans? Both pets and zoo animals build close bonds with their keepers.
Animals are capable of loving their caregivers because attachment is a form of love. Dogs have been known to love their owners so much that they grieve for years after they die.
And you have to admit that love is a basis for any good drama...
These pets are fully committed to the bit.
