People often say that dogs are versatile and have quite colorful communication methods. That one has to be funny, the side-eye look – the look they give you from the corner of their eyes. It has elements of shock, disapproval, and the slightest hint of attitude; it is absolutely ideal for creating memes! Now, it is worth the question: why are our companions, those legged fur balls, giving us a side eye? Well, here are 10 funny deliveries that explain why your dog is giving you a look.

You Interrupted Their Nap

One of the ongoing reasons of side eye dog is they are particular about nap time and very particular about it. They can nap almost anywhere: on the couch, over a soft bed, or even in the middle of the hallway. Oh, God forbid you wake them up from sleep; not even a wiser person can do that. If they wake up as if their alarm has gone off because you woke them up to go for a walk or to play, watch out because they’ll give you the mean mug. It’s as if sleep is a religion, and everything you consider important can wait.

You Brought Home Another Side Eye Dog Scent

What experience have you ever had to return home to pet another dog, and your puppy stares at you like this? Dogs can smell almost anything, and they always know whether you are staying with someone else. That quick glance you get in your direction indicates you’re being judged for being a ‘cheater.’ And it is like, “Really, yes?” No, no, you will just come back here smelling like that. How can you do this for me?

You Gave Them a Bath

Baths and dogs can be a troublesome combination often. Yes, some dogs prefer water entertainment occasionally, but even more, dogs will avoid it to the best of their ability. Just imagine your dog looking at you after the ‘torture’ you subjected him or her to – the soap and water – to give you the most deadly look of disapproval. They may be clean, but they are not very glad about it and are only too ready to tell us so.

You Tried to Dress Them Up

Some dogs do not complain about dressing up occasionally, but others loathe it. Whether it is a teeny tiny sweater, boots, or an X-small pumpkin costume, some dogs are not laughing. Almost anybody who has attempted to dress up their canine companion has experienced this side eye dog saying, “Are you serious”? We ask, thinking you are impressed with how we look at this. Don’t worry; they will make you remember your mistakes in fashion for the rest of your life.

You Didn’t Share Your Food

Dogs are past masters of giving what we term the begging look. But what if the case is you choose not to surrender to those cute puppy eyes and keep your food to yourself? Oh, we fixed that, and then it came out of the side eye. Your dog might probably be murmuring, ‘Did we become friends?’ Wanna, are you seriously going to finish off that entire pizza slice whilst we don’t get a bite of it? In other words, it’s as if they ask you why you are supporting and aligning with them.

You Made Them Go Outside in the Rain

All dogs enjoy running around outside, but when it comes to rain, most don’t like this in the least nearness. Wet weather is a big no-no to most dogs who instantly regret going out in the wet. They’ll roll their eyes and look at you like you are out of your mind the first time they step out. You want me to walk in this?” And, of course, they would much rather remain toasty and dry, but sometimes one must heed the call of the wild – no matter how unwillingly.

You Woke Them Up for ‘No Reason’

Dogs have their schedules more or less programmed, and sometimes, you gallantly decide to wake them up, although it may not be on their preferred nap time. The minute they have discovered the best sleeping position, you are summoning them for ‘quality’ time. They say to prepare for the side eye here; there will be much of it. As far as they are concerned, whatever you may require, they likely can wait till they have had their 14th nap.

You Put the Leash Away Too Soon

Dogs understand what a leash means: adventure! Some may only want to walk around the neighborhood or go to the dog park; just seeing the leash makes for a happier day for them. But what happens when you breathe life into it and tuck it away too early or fail to pull it all out at the first whistle? The side eye strikes again. They’re probably thinking, “Wait, where’s my walk?” My reply: No, we can’t just tease you like that!!!!! In their world, life becomes stagnant when the leash is out there and can never be reeled back.

You Called Them by Their Full Name

As kids do, dogs can tell when their full moniker is being used, and it isn’t a happy thing. This is why if you call your dog “Buddy” or “Molly,” they can relax because they know everything is well. But when they get ‘Buddy Smith’ or ‘Molly Jones’ on the phone, they know they’re in deep water. Every once in a while, you call the dog by his or her full name only to get that look as though you are being dramatic, “You’ve brought out the full names now?”

You Took Too Long to Get Home

Even if they do not understand what time it is, they will miss you whether you were gone for five minutes or five hours. But occasionally, you are a little slow for their liking, and when you return, the look they give tells a thousand words. They are in mind thinking, where have you been all these while, iodine do not therefore consider all the time. It is a relief laced with mild embarrassment that they are clamoring to tell you off for making them wait.

Wrapping Up

Like many of our fur friends, the dog side eye is one of the most popular and hilariously relatable means of conveying their messages. The next time you catch your dog giving you that ‘look,’ rest assured – they’re playing the judge role, and you’re the Hippopotamus! So, although dogs may not get sarcastic, they do a phenomenal job of shooting the side eye as they have it down pat.  So whether it’s bath or snack time, keep an eye out – because they’ll be watching you and won’t hesitate to tell you exactly what they think!
