If you’re a dog owner, you've probably come home from work one day to find a typhoon of chaos in your
living room, from toilet paper strewn about like confetti, couch cushions chewed to
shreds, and even the kitchen trash can knocked over with everything edible –
and some things not – missing from the mess. Were you robbed? Nope, it’s just
another case of your beloved dog expressing his or her rebellious side, perhaps
because you didn’t take them to the dog park or buy them a new bone last
Sunday. Either way, you’ll know who the culprit was the moment you stepped
inside and gasp at the damage because your angelic four legged friend will be
in the midst of it all with a priceless look of shame on their face.
Of course there’s nothing you can do but clean up the mess and pretend to be mad while you’re really laughing inside
at their guilty disposition, but one dog owner, Pascale
Lemire, took it a step further. When her pet dachshund ate her husband’s
underwear one too many times back in August of 2012, Lemire took a photo of the
prodigal pooch with a sign next to him, explaining his crime. The image was
posted to the popular blogging and content site Tumblr. It was so popular that
a Tumblr user named Chris Mohney caught lightning in a bottle and started a
whole Tumble page dedicated to DogShaming.
The phenomenon
grew fast as others posted their own personal dog shaming photos, and quickly
extended to cats, other pets, and even mischievous children and some parents!
When the new trend of posting trouble-making pets caught in the act was
featured on NBC’s Today show, the internet exploded with dog and pet shaming
images and videos, blogs and books.
