Funny Stories Of Chasing After Dogs That Think It's A Game (Viral Tweets)

Losing your pet is a different kind of pain. And you know that you love that thing so much, you'll do anything in your capabilities to get them back. So, when you're walking your dog, and it somehow gets you to let go of the leash and sprints off full speed, your first instinct is most likely to run after them, because you're not losing them. Only that when you do that... they might just think you're playing and run faster. 

After a tweet went viral, people on twitter shared their own stories of running after their dogs while the dogs think they're a game. Luckily though, in most of those stories, the owners either stopped running and had the dog come back to them or the doggo full-on trolled them and just ran back home. 

So thank you, twitter, for mildly stressing me out while also making me laugh while also educating me.

    We can imagine the innocent look on his face when you got there, happy to have won the game. And the relief that you felt when you saw him. Let's be real though, had this been a cat, glaring at you from the entrance to your home, you wouldn't have even been surprised.

    Okay, fine, maybe dogs are as much jerks as cats are. They're cute jerks though. Even when they stress you the heck out and attempt to give you heart attacks. Still cute *deep breath* always cute and loving and worth every single second of stress that they put you under.

    Font - i drink ungodly amounts of milk @WormFrogAllies ... Replying to @itsbriancuh Tipp: either stop, to show that it isn't a game or chase them a few steps and then turn around call them and run when they're looking at you. That tells the dog it's your turn to be chased now, when they run past you grab them and praise them for coming back. 9:54 AM Feb 5, 2021 · Twitter for iPhone 87 Retweets 3 Quote Tweets 1,964 Likes

I was running late to work once when he was a puppy, & after chasing him for 30 mins I got in the car & started slowly driving away. Looked in the rearview and he stood there until I came back for him. His face was priceless. LMAO he said 1:03 PM - Feb 5, 2021 - Twitter for iPhone 86 Retweets 3 Quote Tweets 4,540 Likes
