Dogs are really good at a lot of things, like barking, napping, and being your favorite cuddly bestie.
But there’s one thing they really suck at: playing a game of hide-and-seek!
Funny and cute as they are, these 75 silly dogs aren’t exactly geniuses when it comes to hiding from view. Try not to laugh when you spot every last one of them trying their best to stay out of sight!
1) Look at me!
Okay, so maybe this furry little doll doggy doesn’t suck too much at hiding. But, he’s certainly putting himself front and center!

2) Maybe if I cover my eyes with this curtain they won’t be able to see me.
I can’t see you with this thing on. Does that mean you can’t see me?

3) “Our dog was hiding under the sofa, so we had to turn it on its side to stop her. Shortly after, we found her like this…”
No one ever looks under the couch, right? Maybe I’ll just crawl up in this spot here…

8) He almost made it
Just a few more inches and he could have called himself the master of hide-and-seek. That cute little tush is a stellar win, though!

If I close my eyes, the world turns dark. Here, lemme demonstrate. See?

Another couple of seconds, and he would have squeeze himself all the way into the cushion. Better luck next time!

Source:
Bored Panda
