50 People Who Don’t Know What’s Wrong With Their Dogs But Love Them Nonetheless (New Pics)

Have you ever wondered why we find dogs so cute and irresistible? Scientists speculate that big-eyed puppies and doggos with their floppy ears awaken our innate desire to be caregivers. It's similar to babies: when we see a wee human, we often can't resist saying "Aww". The "infant schema", or facial features that characterize a cute infant face, goes beyond species, thus making us drawn to dogs.

We'd like to believe that our dogs can into all kinds of shenanigans to amuse us. But pet behaviorists say that's unlikely. In a previous interview for Bored Panda, Karen Wild CCAB said that people often misinterpret their dogs' behavior. "They say the reason for [an emotion in a dog's face] could be something only humans would do or think. It is very coming for people to get it wrong," she noted.

For example, when our dog gets "the zoomies," we tend to think that they're super excited. However, Karen explained that it's sometimes the opposite. "This can sometimes be a sign of overwhelm rather than happy excitement," she pointed out. "Body signals in dogs can be due to negative emotions as well as positive ones, and often a mixture of these."

On a scale of one to 10, how silly do you think the dogs on this list are, Pandas?
