If you’ve spent any time on the internet in recent years, you’ve probably seen hilarious photos of dogs being caught in the act of doing something they aren’t supposed to.
Sometimes, the dog has no idea. Other times, they completely know and their adorable attempts to apologize are enough to make your heart melt.
Such is the case with a labrador retriever from Italy named Ettore.
While the viral video doesn’t clarify what exactly the guilt-ridden pup did, one thing is for sure: he is extremely sorry.

The two pups rushed past his legs and made a beeline toward an elderly woman lying next to his truck; she was only wearing a nightgown.

“It could have been a tragic outcome had Adam and Eva not woken us,” Chester’s wife, Susan said.

Traveling can always be bittersweet when you have a canine friend at home. Not only will you miss them, but when you can’t explain to them why you’ll be gone or that you’re coming back it can be heartbreaking.
Army Pvt. Hannah Foraker felt the sting of leaving her beloved dog, Buddy, at home when she packed her bags to go to basic training. Foraker said she would Skype with Buddy when she could, but that she had never been away from the 13-year-old golden retriever that long.

Sneaky Dog Refuses To Come Inside When Owner Calls, Caught Hiding Behind Garden Pot
Dogs can sometimes catch us off guard with their sense of humor and silly personalities.
One dog named Tasha showed her owners just how adorably mischievous she was. In a video uploaded to Facebook, Tasha’s owners open the sliding glass door and call out her name.
It seems like there is no dog in sight until, after just a few moments pass and the sliding door closes again, a pair of pointy black ears pop up from behind a large garden pot.
As soon as the door opens again, Tasha’s ears quickly dropped down behind her clever hiding spot again. Her owners couldn’t help but chuckle at the dog’s attempt to avoid coming back inside.
