We hate to say this, but... dogs have bad days too. It is our job, as their moms and dads, to be there for them during their rougher days. Days like when they lose their favorite toy, or they have a vet appointment, or when they have to take a bath. No matter what, our duty is to love them and make them feel happy again!
Bright Side doesn’t like seeing sad dogs one bit, that’s why we want to share these 21 photos with you, so you can give them your love and affection and put a smile on their faces again!
1. Even big dogs need a pep talk sometimes.

12. “Today my owner didn’t give me attention 24/7.”
13. He looks like he needs a drink and a treat.
14. “My dog bumped into me while I was carrying my cereal bowl and now he’s sad...”

16. When the other dogs don’t want to play:
17. He got sad because he pulled the leash and his dad dropped his coffee.

21. Nobody likes showering as a kid, we get it, pup.
If we had one wish, it would be for dogs to never be sad again! Do your dogs get visibly upset when you can’t play or when they are not allowed to have any more treats? Please let us know and feel free to share pictures of them.
