For as cute as they are, dogs sure can be awkward. Like how they push open the bathroom door, sit down, and stare you in the eye. When you’re finished, they proceed to rummage through the trash and leave tissue and floss all over the ground. Awkward.

Or how about when your dog just looks at your pizza, hoping you’ll share? Now that’s awkward. The moment when you got home and found your dog tangled in the mini blinds? Super awkward. You discovered your pup with her head stuck in a cereal box? Yep, that’s awkward, too. Your dog moved every tennis ball at the dog park into one corner where he could protect them? That is definitely awkward.

It’s true – our dogs do the strangest things. There really are no limits to how awkward (and cute) they can be. Here are 9 photos that prove dogs are probably the most adorably awkward animals we’ve ever seen.

And of course, when you realize your dog loves pizza as much as you do but won’t actually ask for a bite and instead just stares at it, hoping a slice will float into the air and into his mouth.
