“My main characters are the most sunny, happy, optimistic, loving creatures on the face of the Earth. I couldn’t be happier that’s where I start. I can put as many flawed people in the dog’s world as I like, but the dog doesn’t care. Dog doesn’t judge, dog doesn’t dislike. Dog loves. That’s not so bad.” – Bruce Cameron
We all have that one place that we really do not enjoy going to. The same goes for dogs, and you could probably guess what it is – the veterinary clinic. All dog owners know the struggle of persuading their dogs to be taken to the vet for a check-up or some shots. This is why some fur-parents devise some tricks just to hide the fact that they are taking them to the place they fear the most.
Of course, we could not fully prevent our dogs from realizing the truth. Although, most of the time, the realization hits them too late. Here are 50 hilarious reactions of sad puppies and betrayed doggos after realizing the truth.
1. “Hold me, mommy. I’m scared.”
A large fluffy Chow Chow was taken to the vet by his mom. Fearing the place so much, this doggo refused to be placed on the floor. Instead, he had his mom carry him the whole time. This was them while standing in front of the vet’s reception desk.

There is no denying that all dogs fear the vet. Although, an owner should not give in easily to their sad puppy eyes as the visit is highly beneficial for them. Instead, we have to give our pets a sign of reassurance that everything is going to be okay.
