Social Media Platform Chronicles How Sad Dogs Look As They're Frequently Spotted Waiting Outside Shops For Their Owners
Some dogs end up waiting outside shops with a look that says everything, and that simple sight has turned into a surprisingly popular photo trend. In Australia and beyond, people have been snapping pictures of pups tied up while their owners run errands, and the results are often equal parts funny, sweet, and a little heartbreaking.
The Facebook page Sad Dogs Outside Shops has built a following by collecting those moments, with many of the photos shared by people who spot the dogs in the wild. The posts capture a very specific kind of scene, one that makes people stop, smile, and feel a little sorry for the patient pups.
Now the collection keeps growing, and the reactions are just as strong as the expressions on the dogs' faces.
Hundreds of photos of dogs have been submitted to the page
These pictures expose the cold, harsh, and cruel world
Andy reckons that 90% of the photos are submitted by followers of Sad Dogs. "I get them from all over the world now, and many of the pictures are of really high quality… we are slowly building a Sad Dogs community," he said.
"The more I look for them, the more I see them!"
The dogs look lonely, and the whole thing has a strangely emotional pull.
It's just so heartbreaking
Many of the pictures are of really high quality
Andy says individuals often pity and empathize with the dogs and can't resist the urge to feel a profound connection with them. We don’t want our doggos to feel sad for any reason, but there are numerous reasons why they can feel sad sometimes.
One of those reasons is that their humans are sad, and another reason is what this post is all about.
