Every dog owner and lover knows that dogs are pretty much the best animal to ever grace this earth. However, we also know that our furry friends can be quite the trouble-makers. Luckily, they’re so darn cute that they usually get away with it!
Here are 75 dogs that were caught red-handed and feel super guilty about it – or not at all.
Whether it’s ruining furniture, eating your favorite shoes, or raiding the trash can – our pups are always up to something!
1) I just needed to see you.
Some dogs just really can’t stand to be away from their owner for any period of time. Pups are incredibly resourceful. If a wall stands in their way, they have absolutely no qualms about removing it. Case and point.
2) It was attacking me, I swear.
Look at his adorable eyes! It’s apparent this dog really regrets tearing up….whatever this used to be.
For all the wine lovers out there, can we really blame this pooch for getting into it? Maybe he had a really hard day and needed to unwind.
This dog appears to be more confused about why his owner isn’t joining in on the fun! He’s perfectly content resting up on the bed and knowing at his favorite pillow. What more could you ask for?
5) There’s a totally logical explanation.
This dog seems to really be in a pickle! Blinds can certainly be tricky and this pup found out the hard way that they sometimes fight back.
This dog isn’t acting like he’s innocent, he’s just saying you’ll PROBABLY get over it. Look at that little grin!
It appears this dog wasn’t expecting to see his owner home so soon. It also looks like he hadn’t quite got to polish off that slab of meat he tore open, either.
You can’t help but admit that this dog looks absolutely comfy. Can we really blame him for ripping this pillow up? It’s like a cozy little dog hut.
9) This is a disaster!
Wow, this is quite the mess. It’s impossible to stay upset with those cute puppy eyes peering up at you, though.
10) Teething at its finest
Despite getting caught, the pup continues to fearlessly gnaw on the furniture. You give them sticks and this sure tastes like one! You can see the confusion.
11) I wasn’t supposed to do that?
This little weiner dog definitely found themselves caught when they got into the trash can. It’s not their fault there are so many yummy smells in there.
12) I thought it was my play pit
When a dog sees a pile of dirt, they immediately have an urge to dig it up and bury something or themselves in it. So, really – this dog was just being a dog.
All of those lights and dangly things and sparkly things! It’s quite hard for a dog to resist not wanting to play with it. And look at that cute guilty face.
14) That face says it all
The ultimate “I’m Sorry” expression award goes to this canine right here. It’s hard to stay mad for very long with eyes like this staring back up at you.
Dogs will often eat anything they can get their snout in. This pup certainly appears to have enjoyed himself until he was so rudely interrupted! He makes a mad dash to hide the evidence, but the proof remains in plain sight.
This dog looks like he’s ready to do a little shopping! It appears he knows that money is too valuable to rip to shreds, and for that, the owner should be forever grateful.
17) What is this squeak toy you speak of?
Hey pup, when you were violently tearing that stuffed animal apart, you forgot a spot on your chin! This dog must have really been going at it to totally rip the stuffing right out of it. On a different note, he looks really cute with a beard!
18) This probably wasn’t important, right?
One look at those big, brown eyes and anybody would forgive this pooch for his wrong-doing. He’s sorry. Really. He’ll never rip up another thing. Promise.
19) This could probably belong to anybody.
Look at that sad little puppy face! Even if he was trying to blame it on someone else, those eyes tell the real story.
20) I know what this looks like…
Check out this adorableness! This puppy looks like he’s just trying to convince his owner that it wasn’t him. It’s almost tempting to believe him.
21) I have no idea what you are talking about.
This little fella appears to have gotten into some berries, but of course, there’s no proof of that! He looks absolutely adorable.
22) Doesn’t he look happy?
Nothing brings joy to a dog quite like ripping something to pieces. That puppy grin says it all.
23) Oh…that? Yeah, I have no idea.
This dog is determined to pretend like he has no idea what his owner is talking about.
That mess? Never seen it before in my life. Yeah. Right.
24) I’m not sure why you don’t believe me!
It’s so funny when a dog doesn’t realize all the evidence is on their face! He doesn’t have a care in the world!
25) This isn’t what it looks like!
Don’t you hate when your paw ends up in someone else’s purse? Yeah. So does this dog.
So, here’s some backstory behind this photo. This pup is actually a furry little criminal. This bone doesn’t belong to him. It’s the neighbor’s dog’s bone.
Hold it right there! You’re caught red-handed and you’re adorable as ever. This pup is busted and he knows it – but who cares when you have a face like that.
This dog was caught literally in the middle of eating a bag of chips. He felt ashamed and knew he was caught. So, he refused to take his head out of the bag.
This dog’s human couldn’t figure out why their socks would mysteriously end up randomly all over the house. Then he found his tiny fur baby like this. This pup is just too cute to get in trouble.
This pup is super proud of what they’ve gotten away with. That’s because he, once again, got a hold of someone’s shoe. This has been his shtick since 2010 apparently.
31) When they know they shouldn’t…
This pup is getting his snack on. Well…at least he thought so. Then he got caught and now he knows he’s been busted.
This dog isn’t allowed on the bed. So when his human caught him on the bed, he just rolled off. Then he tried to act casual like nothing happened.
These two cuties were just enjoying some belly lick time together until their owner came in with the camera and busted them up. Imagine what they do when the camera isn’t around!
34) If I had am I not in trouble?
This dog was caught in the middle of destroying a bedsheet. So what did he try to do? Well, hide, of course.
35) Can I get a little help here?
This is the sweet boy’s “I got caught doing something wrong” face. Immediately followed by a second hilarious face. The “dude, are you going to help me or what?” face.
36) Sometimes you need some carbs, okay?
This dog likes bread. He always steals a few rolls from the counter. But he doesn’t eat it. Oh, no. He just likes to hang out with it on the couch.
This dog likes to steal dog toys out of the neighbor’s yard but this was one time it got a little…spooky and weird. It’s the stuff nightmares are made out of.
38) He wanted a sweet treat
This dog knows he’s in trouble. But he’s still not giving up that ice cream. He’s just not going to ignore you so he can pretend he’s not in trouble.
39) Does that taste good?
This dog looks a bit annoyed that he’s being reprimanded. What’s the problem here? That’s his thing. Leave him alone.
The bag of food was right there. The puppy was hungry. Can you really blame him? It was practically begging him to tear it open!

42) The cucumber of shame
This dog just wanted to eat a cucumber, okay. So he thought he could sneak off with one. But, no luck. He was caught red-handed.
Check out this big baby. He likes to steal the baby’s pacifier and claim it as his own. They sure do look cute though!
44) Another undergarment thief
This dog wanted to try something new. So, he decided he would find out what it would be like to try on ladies underwear. Then mom caught him like this and snapped a photo.
45) What’s that on your nose there?
This dog would not fess up. She just would not admit that she was eating her human’s milkshake. But her nose was telling the truth.
This is just too funny. He tattled on himself. That’s because he needed help getting out of the adorably hilarious situation he put himself in.
At least this dog is smart. He knows to hide when he’s being naughty. He’s hiding under the bed eating a package of Weetabix.
As soon as this dog saw that baguette, he wanted it. He might not eat it. But he’s going to hold it for a while.

This is actually a dog that ate someone’s homework. At least it’s salvagable. This doggy knows he done wrong.

These people can’t order things online anymore. Their boxes always end up getting destoryed. And it’s because of this guy.
51) Now it all makes sense
Someone has been eating everything in this garden. Now we know who that someone is. It’s this cutie pie who is still mid-chew.
This monkey has been murdered. And the murderer never even left the scene of the crime. That is one cute-looking criminal.
53) The bunny cage bandit
The bunny has been getting skinner and skinner. Now his owners knows where all the food is going. The dog keeps stealing its spinach and kale.
At first glance, this doesn’t seem too mischievous. However, the owner claims that the dog is only pretending to sleep so he can inch closer and closer to that coffee cup. Apparently, even dogs can’t resist a cup of Joe first thing in the morning!
55) It was all the cat’s fault
These two appear to be up to no good, but the dog is more than willing to turn on those sad puppy dog eyes to sell out his feline friend. Who do you think is the guilty one? It’s a mystery!
This dog looks like if he plays it cool nobody will notice the cat trapped underneath him. Who knows, maybe the kitty sat in his favorite spot.
Dogs aren’t exactly picky when it comes to where they hang out. This pup is perfectly content laying around in the cool toilet bowl. It looks like it was made for him!
58) Oh, you use this in your mouth?
Perhaps we should give this pup the benefit of the doubt. He may have been brushing his canines when things got a little out of hand!
Look at this playful pup! He seems to be having the time of his life sitting on top of his feline pal. This wrestling match clearly has a winner.

61) Don’t worry…he’s fiiiine.
This dog is trying to convince his owner that there’s no funny business going on. The cat’s fact says a different story!
Heeelp Meee!
62) Just pretend to be a statue.
This dog’s owner came home early. Instead of finding his dog on full alert, he simply found his dog with a startled face and sitting stone still. Maybe a watch dog isn’t exactly his calling?
63) Listen, you don’t want to see what’s behind this door. Trust me.
It’s not clear what this dog has been up to, but his face suggests it might be some trouble! He may be cute, but he sure looks guilty.
64) This isn’t what it looks like
You can’t possibly look at this picture without laughing out loud. The look on this dog’s face is incredible!
What hole? I didn’t do it. I don’t know what you’re talking about.
66) Ears back is alway a tell-tale sign
It’s very obvious when this dog has been caught red handed. That’s because his ears go back. It looks like they’ve disappeared.
67) I brought you a carrot!
Look how proud this dog is of themself. She stole a carrot for the neighbor’s garden. She’s really quite impressed with herself.
Some dogs like to wear clothes. But this dog likes to wear undergarments. Here, he is wearing mom’s bra that he stole from the laundry.
69) Black socks are his thing
This dog is a very serious collector. But he’s also very specific about his collection. He only collects socks. Black socks.
70) It’s better from your cup, mom!
Sometimes things are better when you drink or eat it off of someone else’s plate – like your mom’s! This dog clearly knows that. That’s why he only drinks water out of his human’s cup.
71) So there are the snacks!
This adorable pup apparently had a craving for something salty and crunchy. Their owner caught them in bed with all of the household snacks.
72) Someone got a hold of the queso ladle
Everyone loves cheese, right? Including this not-so-guilty pup who got a hold of the ladle that was sitting in the queso dip. They loved it so much they even started eating the ladle itself.
73) No one can resist ice cream
“Turned around to grab my phone and snap a picture of my good velvet hippo. Results instead were a guilty velvet hippo in action,” shared this Reddit user about their naughty dog.
74) Were you going to eat that?
“Guilty and confused as to why I yelled at him – his expression made me apologize,” this owner said after their dog knocked over their salad.
Apparently this is this dog’s second vent that he’s eaten through in six months. This dog has something against vents and we’re not quite sure what.
These dogs might be guilty, but they sure are cute. It’s hard to be too upset when they just look so adorable!
