Hilariously Awkward Pooch Photos Captured the Moment That the Family Dog Glitched Out

Dogs can go from being fully functional mammalian predators to a derpy, ungraceful doofus in a matter of seconds. Although man's best friend has proven to be utilitarian in the field– smart, fast, courageous – it seems like the moment that we brought these good boys (and good girls) into the home, they glitch out uncontrollably. Maybe it's because we don't have enough sheep in our living room for them to herd or maybe we don't have enough hunted ducks for them to go fetch for us, but we've all seen when the family pooch short circuit. Sometimes this can occur in the form of a zoomie… sometimes this can occur in the form of a clumsy tumble, but we know for a fact that when our pup is proving to be the most awkward critter in the house (which is a tough feat considering we live there too), you better grab the camera to snag a pic because you'll be laughing at your doggo's brain error all week.
