Even the best-behaved dogs like to cause trouble now and then. And no matter how naughty they are, we always forgive them because they’re adorable. While dogs misbehaving might be frustrating in the moment, it’s funny to look back on your dog’s mischievous habits.

“Dog shaming” has become a popular trend on social media. Photos and memes of guilty dogs are always hilarious, but most of those pups don’t seem to regret their actions. If anything, they just love the extra attention that their photos are giving them. These 25 canines are perfect examples.

#1 – When you’re determined to get somewhere, anything is possible!

It’s unclear if dogs feel guilt like we do. But even if they don’t, they still know how to make some very guilty faces! It’s easy to feel angry at them at first, but afterward, it’s something that you’ll certainly laugh at. Working on training with your dog can help them stay out of trouble, but they might still do sneaky things now and then. Perhaps they’re smart enough to know that you can’t stay mad at adorable puppy dog eyes.
