This particular dog is beyond fear, it’s just plain angry. It’s been tricked before and here it is, being tricked again. This look has probably been a permanent fixture on this dog’s face since before he was encouraged to get in the car. No treats, kisses, or apologies are ever going to make this okay.
They can try. They can offer walks, parks, and favors, but we don’t think it’s going to make one bit of difference. We wonder if it helped that the pup got to sit up front. Judging from the photo, we highly doubt it made much of a difference at all.
Last Resort
Cats appeal to many people due to their clean and graceful natures, or so we've been told. It's not a common occurrence for kittens to wind up in trashcans, like the puppies we often find on the Internet. But the vet is a different story altogether.
This experience goes beyond pride, and the cat has taken to the trashcan like many raccoons and dogs before him. The trashcan, it seems, is still preferable to whatever the vet has in store. It's actually not a bad idea; who would check the garbage for a proud kitty? But the vet is no amateur. He's been fishing hidden animals out of every corner of his office for years.
The Panic is Real
This image depicts the exact second this poor puppy realized its final destination was the vet. The eyes are the windows of the soul, and we can clearly see the fear and anxiety in this little guy's eyes. So much so, you almost feel bad about it. You can see into its soul, how it's pondering its existence, and what this situation really means.
What could possibly have happened to this poor pup before? What makes it so fearful of the vet? What makes it think it has to be so terrified? We hope everything went well, and that the fear in these poor eyes was unfounded.
Game Over
We have seen this look before. This is a knowing look. This dog understands exactly where it's going. Perhaps it's trying to stave off a heart attack by being the strong and silent type. Those wide eyes look pensive, but not accepting. He's trying to make peace with its fate; it understands what's coming.
The concern in this poor puppy's eyes is not something we are used to. Perhaps this good boy will get lucky and the trip will be simple and painless, because just look at that face! We really hope it all went okay. We're sure most vet trips aren't as scary as the car rides to them.
Are You Serious?
If we could read minds, it would be very likely that this poor dog would be less than happy. What might it say about this betrayal? "Are you serious right now?" He looks just kind of fed up and bemused that his owner could do this to him. He was such a good boy. He barely ate any of the sofa cushions this week.
But this pup can't speak, and we can't read minds. This pup's attitude is enough, though. Perhaps it's just angry, or maybe a bit scared. Maybe it's just disappointed. This pup may have to go to the vet, but it's not going to be happy about it.
