• • • Many people feel awkward admitting they let one rip, especially in front of a partner, family, or guests.
    • Dogs can’t defend themselves, making them the perfect innocent scapegoat.

The Dog Is Already a Culprit Sometimes

• • • Let’s be honest—some dogs actually do have terrible gas!
    • Breeds like Bulldogs, Boxers, and Pugs are notorious for their smelly farts due to their short snouts and digestion issues.
    • If a dog already has a history of stink bombs, it’s easy to pin the blame on them.

It’s a Running Joke

• • • Men love using humor to deflect awkward moments.
    • Blaming the dog has become such a universal dad move that it’s basically a comedy tradition.
    • “Oh wow, buddy, what did you eat?” 🤣 (Meanwhile, the dog is just chilling, completely innocent.)

Dogs Don’t Hold Grudges

• • • Unlike humans, dogs don’t care if they get blamed.
    • They won’t call you out, judge you, or bring it up later—unlike a spouse or friend!

The Art of Distraction

• • • Instead of taking responsibility, some men use the dog as an instant distraction to shift attention away from themselves.
    • “Oh man, the dog did it again!” Cue everyone reacting to the dog while the real culprit escapes suspicion.

Survival Instinct in Relationships

• • • If a man is around his partner, blaming the dog saves him from getting “the look.”
    • It’s a defense mechanism to avoid awkwardness, judgment, or mockery—even if the partner knows the truth.

Does the Dog Know?

• • • Probably not… but some dogs might look confused when blamed! 😂
    • However, some smart dogs might start leaving the room every time their owner lets one loose, just to avoid the accusation.

At the end of the day, it’s all in good fun, and as long as the dog isn’t really suffering from bad gas, it’s just another hilarious part of dog-owner dynamics.
