Not all doggos can be as smart or coordinated as the likes of Lassie or Air Bud, and this collection of cognitively challenged canines shows off some of our best and dimmest doggo pals.

It is true, much like us hoomans are not all of the standard of an Einstein or Usiain Bolt, neither are our doggos. Few are brilliant, many are average, and some, well, some are plain stupid. And today we are taking a moment to revel in the wacky wonder that our dimwhitted canine companions have bestowed upon the world as captured by their pawrents.

The latter being an important factor as even the dumbest of doggos will often try to save face in front of people they do not know. But when they are in the comforting company of their pawrents, that is when they fully turn their brain off. So prepaw yourself for an onslaught of hilarious doggos who should know better, but truly do not know how to dog all that well.

    If you look really carefully his tongue out

  • Coordination might be a quality that dogs have become well known for, but at the same time that does not mean that each and every pupper on this planet is up to the standard of competing against other dogs at shows. Case in point, this particularly uncoordinated pupper who is so full of excitement and joy that all control over his extremities has fallen by the wayside. One can only wonder if he managed to land this awkward jump of joy without hitting the floor face first. That being said we cannot deny the increased cuteness that this awkward dance move gives this guy.

    Fell asleep with this toy fish in his mouth
    via Busy-Computer9053

  • Hey, when life is fish, there is no greater height to reach than falling asleep with the fish you have ‘caught’ in your mouth. It is somewhat akin to completing a marathon and falling asleep with the medal still draped around your neck. You have worked tirelessly to achieve your much sought after goal. And when you have finally reached that summit you are ready to crash out from all the energy you have expelled. Hence this heartwarming and hilarious moment. Sleep well you big oaf, you have done well to trap that fish and one day you will get yourself a real one, we believe in you.
