Hey, friends. Think about yourself, now think about your dog. What are the chances that you two are getting out of an apocalypse alive? Well, for the doggo owners who responded to today's featured thread, the odds are slim to none for most! Of course, there were a few exceptions who seemed better equipped to take on the elements. But the majority of these human doggo duos are not getting very far! 

The original poster of this hilarious thread had been watching a lot of zombie movies and was wondering how fellow pet parents strategize during alien invasions or zombie outbreaks. Some empathized, sharing tales of anxious dogs, others plotting survival plans. Dogs, our loyal protectors, or hapless sidekicks? One thing's clear: bonding over doggo concerns unites us all in this uncertain cinematic landscape. Whether planning bunkers or counting on canine bravado, our canine companions are central to our survival narratives. Apocalypse or not, our love for them remains steadfast amidst the chaos. Now, enjoy this silly discussion!

    You and your dog(s) in the apocalypse

    I have been watching a lot of apocalyptic movies lately, some funny, some not. But every movie I kept thinking what would I do with my dog. Obviously I am not leaving his side but I feel like I would be spending every second making. Sure he is ok. He (German/chow/boxer/mutt) barks at everything and hates to be inside. Just wonder how everyone feels they would handle the alien invasion or zombie break out and trying to keep our pups safe!!

    rach1874 8h ago Edited 8h ago • I have a very quiet golden who is 3, and he don't leave my side no matter what. We went for a rainy hike today at the park and there was a dude running behind us, my dog go didn't get aggressive but he made sure he was between the other runner and us. I would make sure my guy had food and water in a bad situation. He's a good boy and loves his humans and cat siblings. As for the apocalypse; I would hope we could. He's extremely responsive as in I don't have to say

    shortnsweet33 · 8h ago My dog has anxiety and so do I. If it's raining heavily and we have to flee the home she's not budging unless I bust out the whipped cream. We would not survive very long lol.

    8h ago My dog and I are incredibly fast. I think we'd stand a chance running from safe place to safe place. Lol awwwooooo000. And she's a hunter so she'd be able to get us food very easily!

    That-redhead-artist 8h ago I have 3 dogs, though I think my husky would just run off into the sunset. I would not be able to keep her on leash during an apocalypse. If we're lucky she won't go far. My GSD and shepsky would say with me. My boy GSD would think he's protecting me by barking but would hide if something scared him. I think they would just travel with us and get fed as they can. I'm sure my barky boy would help dangerous people stay away or be apprehensive at least.

    Ghiacchioso Ei • 7h ago My dog would definitely protect me but not before being the reason the zombies (in one scenario) found out our location because she barked upon sensing them nearby.

    MistaWhiska ● 8h ago Two dogs and I hike and camp regularly. I think we'll be fine. They have their own harness and carry sets. We communicate through clicking sounds and hand gestures. To wait, go left, go right etc. I don't let my dogs bark outside... so they run inside and to the bedroom to bark. But they're extra alert when I go down to eat, that's when they bark at any noise. Don't know if they'd be able to find food themselves though. One of them likes to eat grass so there's that.

    remymartinia • 8h ago My lovingly foolish dog would probably die defending me. My husband will pretend to "get me", and my dog will jump up and silently tell him no.

    another-sad-gay-bich • 8h ago My dog would probably last way longer than me tbh she eats anything and everything and has never had an issue with bowel obstruction I think she'd probably do better on her own than with me She's also quick and a huge runner so she'd probably be able to get away from everything. Her only downside is her love of people and kids. She'd probably run right up to zombies for attention

    IzzyBee89 8h ago I too watch a lot of apocalypse type movies, especially lately (watched some truly spectacularly bad ones on Tubi today in fact!). I'm pretty sure my dog would do something dumb and get me killed immediately if it was any type of situation where we would need to be very quiet. Today he somehow managed to get his dew claw stuck in his collar's D- ring while standing still a foot away from me, so I'm just not optimistic about our chances. I will say that he is very loyal and would

    paloofthesanto • 8h ago I'd find other bigger dogs to help protect me and my little dog and roam or go to the woods nearby and build a fortress. I'd loot a home depot a get tools and what not. I'd go to the woods make a rudimentary sunken Cobb house and a 12foot fence of trees. I'd plant trees and bushes around that fence and a natural barrier would slowly grow as I rebuild the fence and make it super strong. Meanwhile the dogs would be in the fence (huge area enough to grow food and have a hous

    chickpeasaladsammich • 8h ago My dog and I are both horribly suited for most apocalypses. We're both petite so I suppose we might last a bit in a bunker situation.

    SkyeWolfofDusk • 8h ago My dog would in theory be a decent survival companion. He's loyal, decently obedient, athletic, and seems pretty tough and brave. But despite the big brave boy persona he's actually a massive wimpy baby man who I absolutely could not rely on in any way. At the first sign of encroaching threat he would engage his defense mechanism of flattening himself to the ground and suddenly becoming 100lbs heavier and would definitely stay that way while I got eaten by zombies. Thanks

    In a "we're trapped in a bunker" type of apocalypse we would be cast out to the elements pretty quickly due to his incessant barking when it reaches 6:20 pm and he has not gone for his evening walk yet.
