What's the most embarrassing thing your dog has done

This morning my dog raided the bin after I left for work. I hasn't realised DP had emptied the bathroom bin into the kitchen bin.

Our dog sitter had to clean up my used tampons that the dog had been chewing on.

Please someone make me feel better 😭

(Kitchen bin now removed permanently and we have a tiny bin on the kitchen counter where the hound can't reach. Dog sitter has been profusely apologised to)

When I first became disabled to the point of needing a lot of help, I had an adult social worker from the Council come to my home to assess me and my needs for things around the home (safety rails) and during my assessment as we were both sat filling in the form, there was a quiet moment and my dog decided to suddenly fart extremely loudly as he sat down and it was a loud triple fart (really quite musical) and the social worker tried to not laugh, then he looked at my dog (who pulls a very blank "Duh, what was that noise? Wasn't me" face and he couldn't hold his laughter in anymore.

Many years ago I had a little dog that wee'd on somebodies picnic while we were on the beach. [It was a dog friendly beach so lots of loose dogs around] I was so embarrased!

This reminds me of our dog when I was a kid - we were on a family day out with family friends, just having a picnic and flying kites and our dog suddenly cocked his leg up the back of my friend's mum - luckily my mum spotted him and managed to stop him peeing all over her back

The best similar story was one I read on here yonks ago. The dog in question was a Great Dane, I think. He first of all raided a family picnic, oblivious to the shouting and telling off, stole sandwiches from the clutches of small children and so on, and then when he finally calmed down and stopped running about, he peed on a baby. The worst mine has done was in lockdown, killed and then eviscerated a pigeon in front of loads of families having a nice walk by the river. All the mums put their hands over their children’s eyes and told them not to look at what the horrible dog was doing. I tried to pretend it wasn’t my dog but for once she came back unprompted!!

My parents’ dog, a Labrador, was a real character and always getting into trouble and embarrassing us. Usually it involved food, because she was always stealing picnics and fishermen’s bait but sometimes she would steal footballs too. Once while I was walking her past a football pitch there was a big local game on with a lot of people watching. She interrupted said game by running into the middle of the pitch, stealing the ball and prancing around with it while I looked on mortified and screaming at her. For those thinking why wasn’t she on the lead, it was because I was on the other side of a fence which she had somehow managed to break through in order to pursue the football. So I couldn’t even get to her, all I could do was shout. Anyway, despite being lost in a reverie of joyful ball-induced fervour, she must have heard me shouting at which point she stopped, listened and then ran (still with ball in mouth) towards me. Unfortunately for her, the goal mouth impeded her direct route towards me so of course she ran headlong into it, and due to the speed with which she ran, the momentum caused her to be spun several times over round and round in the net, eventually coming to a halt in a tangle. The ball still in her gob. It took several players to come over and help her at which point I was still on the other side of the fence, tears in my eyes and crying with shame.

Then there was the time she had a seawater enema all over Teignmouth sea front…
Still miss her 😌

My very fast lurcher ran across a very busy park and ate the entire contents of a well laid out picnic, including the cooking meat off a disposable BBQ. I was so so hungover and the owner of the picnic couldn't have been angrier. He insisted on following me home for monetary compensation (fair enough really) but berated me the whole way. (for context the park is more of a running/quick dog loop park and not particularly nice for a picnic, hense why my dog was free-range)

Ours turned up proudly downstairs at my in laws with my MILa enormous knickers in her mouth from the laundry basket. My MIL is a fabulously elegant woman. Luckily she thought it was hilarious.

as a puppy she found a wee boy’s underpants on the beach and we ended up with a trail of kids hooting with laughter chasing her to get them back, and she’d stop every so often to let them catch up before scooting off again.

lockdown puppy unfortunately not socialised with wheelchairs….barks like a loon at them.

Once my dog jumped on someone’s lap on Brighton sea front and started eating their fish and chips. Worst of all he was actually on a (admitted long) lead at the time!

Our dog grabbed the Gardener's kneeling mat and ran around the garden taunting him with it.
He also humped every single dog at a trial morning at Doggy Daycare and we were asked not to return.

I was visiting a friend with my dog a few months ago. We were in the kitchen and I was telling her how glad I am that the puppy phase is finally over, and that he's finally stopped destroying things and chewing all our shoes. As I said that, I've realized that the dogs were being suspiciously quiet...
Cue in my dog getting caught shredding her expensive pumps, with her lab happily cheering him on... Luckily the insurance payed for them.

I don't know if it was embarrassing -- but it seemed deliberate. My FIL doesn't allow dogs inside. We stopped on the way home and had my 2 dogs outside and 1 somehow got inside while I was preoccupied with the kids. FIL found him in his bedroom licking FIL's pillow.

My friend's (fortunately very small) dog was at the beach and jumped on a topless sunbather.

I was also at a park when a dog chased after someone in a wheelchair barking. The owner was mortified and yelled out, "It's the wheels!" The owner's friend was laughing and noted, "It's like a hate crime!"

My dog ran off at our local common towards picnickers and reappeared at my side with a hot cross bun 😳

😂

It's the "licking the pillow" that set me off laughing like a loon

thesilliestgoose · 01/02/2025 16:22

sauntered up to a stranger, cocked his leg and pissed directly into her ankle boot. never been so mortified in my entire life.

CarterBeatsTheDevil · 01/02/2025 17:39

My dad's massive Doberman/Alsatian cross frequently had to be pulled out of park bins that she'd tipped herself into headfirst looking for tasty bin food. You'd spend ages looking for her before spotting the Doby legs sticking out of the bin

Oppenovverandout · 01/02/2025 17:41

Our dog ate the icing, marzipan and some of the cake, from the Christmas cake my DIL had made. I still feel terrible about it and it was years ago.

Hoppinggreen · 01/02/2025 17:46

Took DDog (Retriever) to a puppy socialisation thingy.
He came running over carrying something in his mouth, I fished it out.
It was a very soggy but unhurt tiny cockapoo, the owner was hysterical and accused him of trying to eat it.

Hoppinggreen · 01/02/2025 17:56

Before we got our Goldie we were looking after my Mums one.
He legged it out of our front door before we could stop him and ran to a house 2 doors away just as they were going out. Ran past the man into his house, straight upstairs and onto their bed. Luckily they were dog lovers and saw the funny side. I offered to replace their bedding of course.
I have no idea what he was playing at since he didn't go on the beds at my Mums or our house

backfromouterspace · 01/02/2025 17:58

Not in the same ballpark as other peoples dogs, but my dog has a thing about collecting underwear and bringing it down stairs. Fast forward to a time when I had the police round as they were taking a witness statement and in comes my bloody dog with two bras in her mouth, she was so happy with herself. .. I wanted to die

Hoppinggreen · 01/02/2025 18:12

Another one from my Mums (male un neutered) Retriever when we were dog sitting. I walked to the PO with him and stood in the queue for the counter. Dog sitting next to me on the lead being a very good boy when he suddenly approached the woman in front and shoved his cold wet nose up her knee length floaty skirt into her groin/bum from behind!
She screamed (understandably) but after initial drama she did sort of see the funny side.

Isabelle70 · 01/02/2025 18:45

Mine hasn't got up to any antics but he is really concerned with me laughing and the tears rolling down my cheeks whilst reading about all the hilarious dogs 🤣
