50 Adorable Photos Of Dogs Caught In Awkward Positions
Some dogs are natural models, but plenty of others are gloriously awkward, and that is exactly what makes them so lovable. A perfect pose can be cute, sure, but a mid-roll flop, a tangled leg, or a confused stare usually gets the bigger laugh.
This collection comes from the Dogspotting Society's Unflattering Dog Photo Challenge, where people share their pups at their most derpy, goofy, and impossible to take seriously. The result is a batch of photos that feel very familiar to anyone who has ever watched a dog lose a battle with gravity.
These awkward moments are part of the charm, and this roundup has 50 of the funniest examples. Read on.
