Cruel trick, man.

That was just mean!!!

When my master does that to me, ice cream and yell.

Woof! Next time, I get to pick first.

Ice cream cone and I scream cone.

You should have at least bought the dog an ice cream. Very poor treatment of a loyal wingman. PLUS, you’re making him wear the Cone of Shame. Well, shame on you.

Simply reverse the panels! :-|

Love the hang dog expression !

That wasn’t nice at all, poor puppy.

That was really mean.

Well, he is not wrong…

Awww! Sick and wrong!

Poor puppy

Now that was pure eevil.

The last thing a barky dog needs is a strap-on megaphone. :)

I had a 15-year-old dog with a bum tumor that needed to be removed. The vet said he was going to put a cone on her. I said no cone at her age, no hearing, little vision, and arthritis. He said go to a pet store and get a blow-up device like a balloon that goes around the neck. I measured her neck, which was 15", and went shopping and picked up a human neck pillow of the kind people wear on airplanes. It worked fine. I stayed with her the first few days at home, and she was too arthritic to even try to bother the incision. She would stick her face into the neck pillow, facing down and sleep like that. I suspect it was good for her arthritis. I did put it on her at first, so I can say, it works well for a dog and is much more pleasant than an uncomfortable looking cone of shame. I also found one in a size for a young child, which I still have. It would fit my current dog, if needed. She uses it for a pillow, sometimes.

If dogs could speak, this one would say “You, sir, are a SNOT!” And he would be right. Poor puppy. I have to admit it is still funny, though. Thanks for the laugh.

Dog needs to sic Ninja Sloth on his human.

this is the kind of thing that leads to trust issues

That is one cruel joke. Someone call PETA!

Ooooooo. That’s really playing dirty!!!
