Funny Animals

A cat’s strange move for attention is comedy gold. The feline does something really odd and unexpected when it wants some love and a few belly rubs and head scratches. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see what move this cat makes when it’s in the mood to be shown love and appreciation.

Cats are some of the most stubborn, obstinate creatures you’ll encounter. To anyone who has or has ever had a feline, this will not be some kind of big revelation. It’s no secret that cats are fairly hard-headed, strong-willed, and will not be pushed into doing something they do not want to do. Sure, some may be more agreeable, and they will be more flexible than others, but for the most part, that statement about feline stubbornness is entirely true.

When cats are in the mood to be scratched and rubbed, they will do whatever it takes to have their need fulfilled. Some of their tactics might include purring loudly while rubbing up against your legs, following your every step until you do what they want, and even meowing at an ear-piercing volume. But what one cat does when it wants attention is a brand-new maneuver, a move that I’ve, and likely you as well, have never seen before.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a cat actually puts on a plastic, protective cone and walks into its owner’s room when it needs love and attention. Taylor, the cat, seems to know what it’s doing because its odd choice in headwear is working as the feline’s owner gives in and does what it wants.

Now, I know what you’re thinking: there is no way that cat puts that on itself. I completely understand because I thought the same thing, but the video shows several instances of the cat putting it on itself.

And don’t try changing out its plastic cone for a new one because the cat will surely know something is amiss and sniff out the intended deception quickly.

Cats are strange and wonderful creatures, and this cat’s odd attention-seeking behavior is yet another example of that being true.

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after their kind: and God saw that it was good.”

A pup wanted its playmate back badly and came up with some pretty hilarious and elaborate plans to break its buddy out of captivity. The canine did what it could to free its friend, but things did not go as planned. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see the lengths this pup went to free its best friend.

Friends make life a much better and richer experience. I think that’s something we can all agree upon. Regardless of age or stage of life, everyone needs friendships. Friends are people we can count on to be a shoulder to cry on and be someone to pick us up when life knocks us down. Also, whenever there’s a reason to celebrate, they're right there with us, helping us recognize those wins.

However, as great as those friendships are, there are times when, for one reason or another, we are separated from those friends. Whether it’s because of time, distance or something else entirely, those are often the times when we most need a friend and will do what we can to see them.

Perhaps, as in a clip posted on YouTube, a medical issue keeps two friends apart. Well, not even a medical issue, whatever it may be, is enough to keep the best of buddies apart. As the saying goes, where there’s a will, there’s a way.

In the video, one pup is in a playpen, separated from the other dog following a medical procedure. However, the other dog has clearly grown tired of not having its best friend by their side. It’s time to bust them out and get them reacquainted with freedom.

The other pup comes up with several truly hilarious, outlandish schemes to free its buddy from captivity. The next one is more hysterical than the one before it, and all of this conspiring and sneaking around takes place with their owner in the next room.

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

A giant Black bear casually opened a car door and hopped right into the vehicle. The massive wild animal has clearly done this before because it knew exactly what to do when it approached the car. Watch the short but jaw-dropping clip to see what the animal did when it came across two parked cars.

Animals are lovely creatures, among the best on Earth. That’s an idea and a statement that, even in these incredibly divisive and polarizing times, we can all agree upon. Who doesn’t love animals? Who in their right mind wouldn’t appreciate a dog waiting patiently by the door to greet them as they arrive home from a tough day at the office?

Yes, dogs, cats, rabbits and other domesticated animals make excellent pets. However, anyone with half a functioning brain understands that there are simply some animals that are never to be approached under any circumstances. Of course, most of these animals should be avoided at all costs and viewed only from behind the safety of a steel-reinforced barrier.

One of those animals to steer far away from is a bear. Sure, they might look cute from afar, but an encounter with them would not end in a pleasant manner. Even with this knowledge, these dangerous wild animals sometimes make their way into areas populated by humans. A posted clip shows what happens when that does happen, and the creature acted in a surprising fashion, knowing exactly what to do and when.

Two vehicles are parked nearby what appears to be a log cabin in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Seconds into the clip, a large Black bear strolls upon the empty vehicles. What could the animal possibly want with two empty cars? Perhaps it was looking for a vehicle to take a joy ride?

Well, unbelievably, the wild animal starts pulling on the door handles. This bear has obviously done this many times before.

Eventually, the bear finds that one of the vehicles is unlocked. Once it manages to pull open the driver’s door, it actually hops in with ease. Thankfully, the keys weren’t in the car, or the animal might have actually stolen the vehicle.

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

This pup’s adorable reaction to the television is comedy gold. The canine's surprising reaction will have you laughing long after the video ends. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see what was on the TV that had the dog responding in a most unexpected yet laugh-out-loud manner.

Animals are, without a doubt, some of the best creatures on Earth. Who would or could ever argue otherwise? They are cute, furry, loyal companions who often remember the kindness shown to them. 

While we can all agree that animals are wonderful and make life a better, richer and fuller experience in every way, they can also be incredibly quirky and funny. Whenever you think you know how an animal will respond to any given situation, they’ll surprise you. Oftentimes, those reactions will be absolutely hysterical, providing everyone in the vicinity with quite the laugh.

That is precisely what happened in a video posted on social media. In the short, five-second clip, the pup is standing on the couch, watching television, as all dogs are known to do.

However, this pup is apparently thoroughly engrossed in the television program. It’s unclear exactly what television show or movie is playing, but on the television, a young man holds a football. He then proceeds to wind up to throw the football and makes a motion as if he’s going to let it go.

Well, the dog, apparently believing the young man was actually in the room, turns its head, looking for the football. It then quickly turns back to the camera, looking terribly confused and possibly even a little disappointed that it did not see the football soaring through the room.

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

This hawk is determined to protect its eggs, but there’s just one problem. The winged creature was not going to let any harm befall its unhatched babies. Watch the short, but hilarious clip to see this protective hawk as it attempts to keep its “eggs” safe.

Animals are wonderful, magnificent critters. Many people are thoroughly captivated by and interested in them. Pet owners, for sure, want to know as much as possible about their furry, four-legged family members. However, this interest in and fascination with animals has gone so far that entire television channels are dedicated to them.

It makes perfect sense why so many would be interested in animals. When you think you’ve learned everything about them, they surprise you with a new reaction or action. Think you know exactly how your pet will respond in this environment or during that particular set of circumstances? You might be correct, but then again, you might not be, and that’s part of the reason why animals are so fascinating. That and so many of them are pretty darn cute as well.

In a posted clip, a hawk was seen protecting its young. The creature was captured lying on the eggs to stop the elements or any potential predators from injuring her unborn youngsters. Nothing was going to get between this mother and her eggs.

However, the only problem with that is that she wasn’t lying on eggs at all. What she thought were eggs were actually golf balls. I understand the golf balls and the eggs are both white, and the eggs and the golf balls are relatively the same size, but wouldn’t the bird be able to feel the difference between the two?

How odd a sight would that be? Can you imagine being golfing on that particular course, you make your way to that hole, and you see a hawk keep a close, protective eye on a dozen golf balls or so? If someone were to hit their ball on the green, would they lose the ball and the hawk gain a baby? How would that work?

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

A pup’s plan to keep its toys hilariously backfires. The canine did not want to relinquish possession of a handful of items, and so the animal hatched a scheme to keep them, but that did not work out as expected. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see what the pup did to keep its toys and how it backfired massively.

Getting rid of things can be difficult, especially if they have specific memories attached. Yes, there may even be a few tears shed during that process. However, the simple fact is that we cannot hold onto everything that comes into our possession. No one wants to end up on an episode of “Hoarders,” right?

While purging these items from our households can be challenging and even emotionally draining, it’s necessary. Getting rid of old, unwanted things makes room for the new. Every new beginning is only possible because of some other beginning’s end. Don’t be sad about something because it’s over; be happy because it happened. Or, you know, insert your preferred cliché about endings and beginnings.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a dog was having trouble letting go of its toys. It did not want to see these toys go away. They were special to the animal. So, in an attempt to foil its owner’s plan, the animal hatched a plan to hold onto those treasured items.

The video shows the animal running to the medicine cabinet and grabbing a bottle. While the woman was momentarily distracted, the canine, with the bottle in its paw, rushed over to the mug she was sipping from. Then, the animal started making a concoction that, theoretically, would have made her fall asleep.

However, that did not happen. Instead, the pup, being unable to read, mistakenly spiked her drink with caffeine. The pup’s owner would not be taking a nap anytime soon.

The looks the two dogs exchange are hysterical. They both seem to know they’ve failed, and it's just a matter of time until their precious toys are gone.

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

This dog’s obsession with a slide is what you need today. The pup’s love and inability to get enough of this piece of playground equipment are both cute and hysterical. Watch the short but hilarious clip to see just how obsessed this dog is with this slide.

Everyone has spent their fair share of time on the playground. Who hasn’t? Weren’t those some fun times? Now, while you may not have visited one since your younger days, which may have been decades in some cases, you are more than familiar with them and can easily name pieces of equipment you’re likely to find on a given playground.

What’s even more likely is that you had a favorite piece of playground equipment. Personally, it didn’t get any better than the swings. Those things could literally take you to new heights as you soared backward and forward as the wind whipped through your hair. Also, if you were brave enough, when you were finished with the swings, you might have even let go while the swing was at a decent height, sending you soaring through the air until you inevitably made it back down to earth.

While the swings were obviously the best part of the playground, others might have felt differently. Some may have thought the slides offered a better, more fulfilling experience. That is how one pup feels, as it clearly cannot get enough of the slide. A posted clip shows that once the animal slides down and comes to a stop at the bottom of the playground equipment, it literally sprints back to the top.

No matter how much you may have liked the merry-go-round, the swings or the monkey bars, you did not like them nearly as much as this pup loves the slide.

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

This adorable moment between a cat and a baby goat is almost too cute. The two unlikely pals showed each other a little love and affection. Watch the short, but oh so sweet clip to see what the tiny goat and the feline did that will most certainly be the cutest thing you see today.

Friends make life a fuller, richer and all-around better experience. No one wants to go through life alone. Even the quietest, most introverted person doesn’t desire an existence like that. How awful and lonely would that be? You wouldn’t wish that on your worst enemy.

Those we call friends are among the first we call when something good happens in our lives. Also, they are there as a shoulder to cry upon whenever something horrible happens. They are always willing to listen and talk, if that’s what we need, as well. See, who wouldn’t want as many friends as possible? They make the good times better and the challenging, difficult or painful times a little more bearable.

Another great thing about friendships is that anyone can be a friend. You don’t have to have the same background, beliefs or even be the same age to be friends. A sweet, heartwarming clip proves that anyone can be friends – even a cat and a baby goat.

How precious is this? The cat and the goat cannot get enough of one another as they show each other how much they care, continually rubbing their heads together.

This video is, without a doubt, special, especially given a cat's typical nature. Felines can at least appear to be aloof and uncaring, and shy away from showing affection and only do so when they feel like doing so. They are very different from dogs in that way, who are always ready to show how much they care. But that is not the case here, making for a beautiful, heart-melting moment between the two buddies.

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters, brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after their kind: and God saw that it was good.”

A dog and an otter had a ball playing a game of tag. The two unlikely friends had the time of their lives chasing one another in what is arguably the cutest game of tag. Watch the short but adorable clip to see the two pals have fun chasing each other.

It’s impossible to have too many friends. No one will ever reach a point where they can say they have reached their limit with friendships. I mean, someone could theoretically say that, but there isn’t like an actual limit on the number of friendships one can have.  Also, that message isn’t likely to be received well. Can you imagine being on the receiving end of that?

Anyway, animals seem to be able to become friends with just about anyone. That’s one of the many things we all love about those creatures. Show them a little bit of kindness and love, and they’ll be your buddy for life. It doesn’t matter if you’re a human being, a warthog, the cat from across the street, a one-eyed penguin or a temperamental dairy cow; animals can make friends with anyone and anything.

A clip posted on social media captures one of these odd, but incredibly cute pairings. The surprising pals – an otter and a dog – are almost too cute as they play a friendly and super adorable game of tag. And if you don’t believe that’s why they are doing, just watch for a couple of seconds, and you’ll soon discover that that is exactly the game they are playing.

The two friends don’t let the fact that one is in the water while the other is on dry land keep them from having an absolute ball. You will be hard-pressed to find a cuter and more precious game of tag than this one played between an otter and a dog.

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

These pups helped themselves when someone forgot dinner. The two canines took matters into their own hands, or more accurately, paws. Watch the short but hysterical clips to see how these dogs stepped up and took action when it was time for their dinner.

Everyone loves to eat, and most people, from the looks of it, are pretty good at it, too. Americans have such a love affair with food that we shamelessly put our gluttony on full display with food contests. Of course, one of the biggest and most prominent is the annual Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July hot dog-eating contest in New York. When it comes to competitions, I don’t think it can get any grosser.

But seriously, who doesn’t enjoy scarfing down a plate of delicious food, especially when the clock says it’s dinner time? However, when that special time arrives, and food is nowhere to be found, we get a little nervous and anxious. We tend to get a little hangry if things aren’t ready as usual. The hunger pains can even become so bad that we might choose to take things into our own hands.

As it turns out, human beings aren’t the only ones who will act accordingly if dinner does not arrive in the proper and expected timeframe. A clip posted on YouTube shows what two pups did to satisfy their hunger. They gave their owner an opportunity to correct her tardiness, but when they couldn’t wait any longer, they acted decisively.

After she ignored their staring, they swiped her phone, opened up an app and placed a very important order. The two animals even worked out a hilarious way of going about paying for the order while keeping their shenanigans completely undiscovered and undetected until the very last possible moment.

The most hilarious part of the entire clip is when the woman walks into the living room to find the two pups chowing down on a pizza, and one of them looks at her as if to say, “Yes, may I help you?”

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

A massive pig had an adorable reaction when it spotted a familiar face. The sweet animal could not contain its joy during a friendly encounter. Watch the short but heartwarming clip to see how the hog reacted when it saw someone it knew.

Animals are some of the best creatures on Earth. Most are cute and furry, making it nearly impossible to pass them without kneeling down to give them a few friendly belly rubs or pats on the head. Is there anyone who does not like animals? If, for some reason, there are individuals who aren’t too keen on animals, how is that even possible?

Show them a little bit of love and attention and you’ve likely got a friend for life. They will remember your kindness toward them for a long time to come and will more than likely light up every time you come around. Who wouldn’t want someone to react with unbridled happiness and joy whenever they come around?

Now, typically, when we talk about animals and how wonderful they are, it’s a dog or a cat. And too fair, pups and felines, as pet owners – past and present – know, make for excellent additions to the family. But in this particular instance, it’s not a dog or a cat that you need to see. It’s actually a pig, and it is large, which is an understatement. But how the large hog responds when it spots a sanitation worker is just too cute to miss.

In the clip posted on social media, the pig takes off on a dead sprint when it spots the truck pulling up. This, the pig knows, means that its buddy is likely to present, and the animal is 100 percent right.

The pig rushes over to the fence, where it is greeted by its pal, who comments, "It’s been a long time, no see since their last encounter."

“Hey, buddy!” the man says as he approaches the pig. “What are you doing? I missed you, bud.”
What an absolutely cute moment!

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

A pup lent a helping paw to its buddy during a hairy situation. One dog believed there was trouble brewing and did what it thought best to help its friend. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see what had one of the pups so concerned and what it did to try to correct the situation.

As every pet owner understands, animals need to be groomed. While it is necessary, that is rarely, if ever, a fun process for the animal or its owner, but it has to be done regardless. No one wants a smelly dog or one with a tangled, matted coat, because that is not an enjoyable situation for anyone. Therefore, the periodic grooming sessions will continue.

Typically, when a dog, and many cats, for that matter, are brushed, hair will accumulate either on the brush or the floor. Of course, every pet owner knows this is normal; brushing is nothing more than a way to pull away loose hairs and keep the animal’s coat clean and healthy.

But what might that look like from the animal’s point of view? Would they freak out and wonder if they may be balding? How would they attempt to correct their perceived hair loss? I don’t think there’s Rogaine for animals, so they would have to look for other solutions. A clip posted on YouTube shows a buddy helping its fellow canine, who obviously thought its friend was balding.

The pup comes across its buddy being brushed and is immediately intrigued. That’s when the dog spots all of its pal’s hair falling to the floor. Surely, this isn’t normal, the dog must be thinking. That’s when the dog comes up with a solution, albeit a very unconventional and impractical one, but a solution, nonetheless.

The dog with hair tapped to itself to hide its shedding looks about as natural and normal as someone who undergoes a hair transplant to cover their hair loss.

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

These pups know where they sit and aren’t moving for anyone. No one is going to stand, or more accurately, in their way. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see how far these canines are willing to go to get to the place they enjoy the most.

Everyone loves animals, and anyone who does not is, without question, wrong. How could you not love and appreciate those cute, furry and four-legged critters? Even people who would necessarily consider themselves dog or cat people have a soft spot in their hearts for those precious creatures.

It's abundantly clear that animals make life a better, fuller and richer experience. While we undoubtedly love those critters, they can become a tad demanding, hard-headed and downright stubborn. Anyone who has ever had a pet understands all too well what I’m describing. That dog, no matter what you did, would refuse to go on a walk. Or that cat, regardless of how many times you called for it, would not come out of where it was hiding/sleeping.

Animals can most certainly be difficult at times, especially when it comes to their preferred sleeping spot. A clip posted on YouTube captured a handful of pups who wouldn't let anyone stand between them and their favorite lounging spot. It didn’t matter what anyone did; they were getting to the spot one way or another. In some instances, as you’ll see, the pups would literally sit on their owners. At that point, it becomes a war of wills and about who would give up first.

As any pet owner knows, when it comes to lying around the house, sleeping and generally doing nothing, dogs will always remain undefeated. They are professionals at it and are not to be messed with. They will come out every time, and that includes their owners, and as the video also shows, even cats.

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

This Golden Retriever had a hilarious reaction to its owner’s hugging. The pup made its feelings abundantly clear when the husband and wife showed each other some affection. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see the unexpected way the dog responded when its two owners shared a hug.

Animals, like people, are not the same. Each has its own unique personality, as every pet owner knows very well. Sure, some animals may look similar, but often how they respond to people, situations and environments can be as different as night and day. Anyone who says all dogs or all cats are the same is simply showing their ignorance and their inexperience with animals.

It's been said that dogs are man’s best friend, and in many cases, that has been proven again and again. How many stories have you seen or read where a dog enters a burning building to retrieve someone or something? Or what about articles about a pup who returned home years later? Those types of stories are all over the internet.

However, a clip posted on YouTube shows that one Golden Retriever has a favorite, a best friend, and it’s not the man of the household. Every time the woman hugs her husband, the dog barks loudly and wildly, even growling, clearly voicing its displeasure.  At one point, the dog goes over and attempts to physically separate the two, placing its head between them. 

Obviously, the dog is quite jealous and does not want her giving attention to anyone but it. While the dog may not mind the man of the house, the animal likely tolerates him. But it’s clear, from that short clip, that the animal prefers her, and it’s not even close.

As pet owners know, animals do seem to pick and gravitate toward one person, and this adorable Golden Retriever is no different.

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

These competitive pups turned playtime into a hysterical rivalry. What originally started as a good-natured, friendly, fun time quickly became heated, competitive and pretty hysterical. Watch the short but hilarious clip to see how this situation between these canines went from friendly to cut-throat and dog-eat-dog.

Competition is good because it brings out the best in everybody. Also, when there’s competition, everybody wins, especially the consumer. Both of those lines are extremely familiar because we’ve been fed them repeatedly, all of our lives. Most people likely don’t give them a second thought and accept them as the gospel truth, but are they true?

Every competition results in a winner and a loser. It doesn’t matter if it’s basketball, checkers, racquetball or even an election – someone, or one team, is going to win, and someone else, or another team, is going to lose. Many people tend to take things way too far, willing to do anything to win, even if it means cheating or bending the rules. Also, individuals can be poor winners and even worse losers – and all because they lost a meaningless game or match.

In a clip posted on YouTube, two dogs hilariously proved that competition does not always bring out the best in everyone. In fact, it can and very often bring about the worst in someone, causing them to act and react in ways they typically would not.

The two pups settle in to play a friendly competition. This is going to be a fun game between two pals, with the eventual winner and loser walking away amicably. They will shake hands and part ways, accepting the outcome of the competition. Sure, that sounds nice, but that is not what happens at all.

During the video game competition, things get heated quickly, with the two pups exchanging some of the most hilarious side-eyes you’ve ever seen. Both are willing to do whatever it takes to win, regardless of how it may damage or impact their friendship.

1 Corinthians 9:24 “Do you not see that in a running competition all take part, but only one gets the reward? So let your minds be fixed on the reward.”

These pups demand their fair share of cheese. If they do not get a cheesy snack every once in a while, especially when someone else enjoys one, there will be repercussions. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see what happens when these dogs find out someone has been helping themselves to some cheese without sharing.

Cheese is, and likely will forever remain, hugely popular. Think about all the foods it’s included in – nachos, pizza, lasagna, several McDonald’s breakfast sandwiches, ravioli, cheeseburgers, macaroni and cheese and the classic, grilled cheese sandwiches. If there’s a way to include cheese in something, Americans will figure out how to do it.

With so many foods and dishes that feature cheese as a main ingredient, it might seem like everyone enjoys cheese. So, is there anyone who does not love cheese? Well, I know of one person: myself. And that’s not because I’m lactose intolerant or anything. Ever since I was a child, I’ve never liked cheese and have always avoided it as best as I can. However, I understand I’m in the minority when it comes to how people, and, as it turns out, animals feel about cheese.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a woman helps herself to a snack of string cheese. There’s nothing wrong with that, right? A little snacking here and there never hurt anyone, or could it?

Before she indulges in that cheesy snack, she goes to great lengths to make sure that her pups are unaware of what she is about to do. She did not want them to know she was about to consume some string cheese. 

Despite being extremely careful, it was not enough. The animals found out what she did and how she did not share with them, and they were not pleased. The pups expressed their displeasure in the most hilarious and unexpected way.

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

This musical pup played the iconic “Mission Impossible” theme song. The canine demonstrated its jaw-dropping talent for the drums by playing a tune that everyone, without a doubt, has heard a time or two. Watch the short but awe-inspiring clip to see and hear this dog perform the theme song from “Mission Impossible.”

All pet owners love and adore their animals. In fact, when it comes to talking about most people who have pets, it wouldn’t be too far of a stretch to say that they are absolutely obsessed with them. There are basically no lengths some people will not go to for their cute, cuddly, furry four-legged friend. Don’t believe me? Just check social media, and you’ll quickly discover what I’m talking about.

Now, every pet owner believes their furry friend is “special” and “one-of-a-kind.” In our hearts and eyes, they are special and deserve the world, right? While that may be true, I’d be willing to bet that not many of those pets can play a musical instrument. I’d go so far as to say that 99.9 percent of those special animals have been gifted with the ability to play the guitar or sing a single note.

However, we have just encountered a pup who is truly one-of-a-kind, with an ability that likely no other dog can do: play the drums. Yes, you read that correctly, this dog can bang around on the drums, and not only that, but it has also even helped in playing one of the most recognizable and iconic tunes of all time.

In a clip posted on social media, the pup, with a stick in its mouth, pounds a cymbal while its paw operates a pedal, which makes it bang on a drum.  This is such a cute and, at the same time, hysterical display.

If this dog can play the drums, there is no reason why our pets should be sleeping all the time. They could be using some of that time to learn a skill like playing the trombone or the tuba.

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

This Golden Retriever hilariously demanded immediate and undivided attention. The animal refused to be ignored and did everything it could to make sure that it was not. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see and hear the animal’s laugh-out-loud attention-seeking maneuvers.

Animals are, without a doubt, some of the best creatures you’ll encounter on Earth. Animals make life a fuller, richer and all-around better experience. Most are incredibly friendly, gentle and loyal to a fault. Honestly, is there anyone who can say with a straight face that they do not love and adore those furry, four-legged critters?

Now, while nearly everyone loves animals, the real division happens when dog and cat people get to talking. Both will passionately make the case for why their preferred animal is superior, and the one is just a little inferior when compared to the other. Is one really better than the other? I think we can all agree they are both different, for sure.

One way cats and dogs differ is in the amount of attention each craves. Typically, cats do their own thing and will come around and seek attention when it’s convenient for them. Dogs, on the other hand, want attention constantly, and if you don’t give it to them, they will try their darndest to get it. In a clip posted on YouTube, a woman found out just how badly her Golden Retriever wanted her to pay attention to it.

She wanted to find out what would happen if she deliberately ignored her pup. Hilariously, the dog refused to give up and was determined to get the attention it so badly wanted. The animal was dogged in its efforts.

Eventually, she could only ignore the canine for about a minute and a half.  Anyone who has or has ever had a dog understands that’s longer than expected. As soon as you walk through the door, most pups are jumping and clamoring for your attention.

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

This hysterical video has captured exactly what it’s like to own a dog. Those with canines will completely relate, and some may even stand up and shout, “Amen!” Watch the short, but hilarious clip for the all-too-real, relatable moments every dog owner has experienced.

While some people may overlook them when thinking of the many ways in which their lives have been blessed, animals most certainly belong in that category. Our pets are enormous blessings, and for a lot of people, it’s hard to imagine doing life without them. We should be thankful for the animals in our lives.

Our pets are some of the best friends we’ll ever have in this life. For starters, they are tremendously loyal, always there, whether you’ve had a good day or one you’d rather forget. They do not care who you are as long as you treat them right, and if you do, you’ve got yourself a friend for life. Of course, as everyone knows, all of this is especially true, particularly when you’re talking about dogs. They are, after all, referred to as man’s best friend for a reason.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a woman goes through the top five reasons why she is so grateful to be a “dog parent.” Each of the scenarios the video points out is one that everyone who has ever had a dog understands and has experienced.

As mentioned in the laugh-out-loud clip, when you have a pet, especially a dog, an alarm clock becomes irrelevant. A dog will quickly acclimate to your morning routine and know when you need to be awake. They will even provide their assistance, even if it’s not needed.

Also, they are always ready and willing to do something, anything with you. They don’t care about the activity, as long as they get to do it with you.

Dog owners also know that they make decent vacuum cleaners, willing to suck up any food that happens to land on your floor.

How could you not love dogs?

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

These pups delivered a convincing and hysterical presentation. They had a message to convey and an argument to make, and decided the best way to accomplish those goals was through the use of PowerPoint. Watch the short but hilarious clip to see what argument they wanted to make and whether they succeeded or not.

We live in a very polarizing and divisive time. It’s nearly impossible to get people to agree on any subject, no matter how insignificant or meaningless. You could have someone ask people whether dogs with spots are better than dogs with stripes, and 50 people would say “yes” and 50 would say “no.” Then, the situation would quickly dissolve into a shouting match, with people calling one another horrible names.

People can’t even agree on what’s a fact anymore. They all have their own 24-hour “news” channel, which they desperately rely on to tell them what’s a fact and how to think about this or that subject. It’s hard to rationally discuss a topic in that kind of contentious, hostile environment. But there are still people who try, and, as it turns out, even some animals.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a couple of pups believe that baths should be outright banned. They do not like them and no longer want to take them, so they have crafted a presentation to try to sway others to their side and see their point of view.

This is a challenging argument to make, but the dogs are clearly determined to make it. They raised several points during their presentation. However, the validity and relevancy of many of them could easily be called into question. But then again, that goes along perfectly with the current state of discourse in our country.

In the end, the pups do accomplish their goal. Baths are now banned, and they will no longer be subjected to them. They can now live their bathless, and much more smelly lives.
