This seems like one of those cases where what the human thinks she’s communicating doesn’t really gibe with the dog’s perspective… Blue’s tail is wagging happily; she’s not feeling guilty or bad. She’s joining in with the nice lady in making lotsa noise together, as a pack!
That dog is having a fantastic time rejecting her reality and substituting his own.
The dog makes a cogent point.
wow, that’s the noise I make when I read my Twitter feed lately
I’ve had “discussions” with my teenagers that went roughly the same way…
Once the owner is barking, the dog has won
This is exactly my feeling right now. Thank you Blue!
Needs a MAGA hat. Or a police vest. Or an “All Live Matter” shirt.
Not to mention that the owner scolds the dog (“bad boy!”) after it shops howling. Seems like a surefire way to reinforce the howling.
Blue doesn’t care and regrets nothing.
The dog is truly presidential.
Or a job as White House Spokesperson.
Except I love dogs too much to wish that on any dog.
Old school, too cool. Many thanks.
For all its monotonous whining, that husky is 1,456,493 times smarter than Trump.
Wait a second. (Factor in Trump Constant Ct equal to… hmmm.)
Make that 11,456,493 times smarter than Trump.
See above!
“I’m not a bad boy you a bad boy you you you!”
I was kind of hoping this would build on a previous BoingBoing post:
Our niece is 13. I’ve noticed our youngest cat gives us the exact same expression I’ve seen the niece give her parents when they’re being “unreasonable” about … well, everything, of course. Apparently parental figures are embarrassing regardless of your species.
