Mindful Mutt Fails at Meditation In Favor of Squirrel Chasing and Disappoints Dog Owner, Redditors Playfully Poke Fun At 'Enlightened' Owner and His Canine Catastrophe

The concept of mindfulness is tough for humans to grasp, let alone our furry friends. And yet, it doesn't stop one from trying, especially this Reddit user and his thoughtful pup, Hank.

Hank is a dog on a mission. A mission to please his owner and become the most zen pup on the block. But despite his best efforts, the pooch is struggling to find inner peace. The canine has taken to sitting cross-legged on the floor, eyes closed, and deep in thought. But his mind is constantly racing with thoughts of squirrels, belly rubs, and that pesky mailman who always interrupts his afternoon nap.

It's clear that Hank's mindfulness journey has taken a turn for the worse. And the pup's owner is at a loss for how to help him. Perhaps a doggy yoga class is in order? Or maybe a guided meditation led by a wise old Labrador retriever? What's a pup stuck supposed to do? In the meantime, he'll keep chasing his tail and barking at his own reflection. Hey, it's all about progress, not perfection!

At first, read this and we were like, "Huh, this might be an interesting story". Then we got to the [Emotional Support] and that was our first clue that this was going to be a good one. Who doesn't love a good sarcastic, satirical story?

"Though he appears to grasp the basics of mindfulness, esoteric and deeper aspects remain elusive." HAH! This is gold. Just imagine sitting next to your dog and trying to teach him about mindfulness. The mental imagery itself is hilarious!
