If you’ve ever paid attention to a dog for a while, you might have noticed that they’re incredibly gracious creatures. They might stir up a fuss over a stolen treat or bone, but most of the time, they love to share and get along well with other animals. 

Sometimes, though, their graciousness is pushed to the limit, and it’s then fun to see their responses. The Reddit community r/Stolendogbeds showcases all the cunning culprits who’ve kicked dogs out of their comfy spots, as well as the reactions of our canine friends.

    Did he back in? The opening needs to be wider and taller. You have a gorgeous guy out there, and he should be comfortable.

    As you can probably tell from this list, most of the dogs who’ve been kicked out of their beds have accepted their fate. They don’t seem to be fussing about the situation, and neither should we! The 115k members from the Stolen Dog Beds community on Reddit love sharing hilarious photos like this and have been doing so since November 8th, 2011. 

    What you might have noticed from their pictures is that many of the recurrent dog-bed thieves seem to be cats. It’s actually a known fact that kitties like trying out different sleeping spots, even if they’ve been given the comfiest bed to lie on. It’s a bit hard to control cats, so pet owners might struggle to keep their dog’s sleeping area off-limits.

    The helpless pups on this list seem to be looking on while their comfy spot is taken away. As pet owners, it’s important to try and get the situation under control only if you notice that your dog seems to be uncomfortable. In most of these cases, the animals seem to be enjoying having company but there are certain signs you can look out for.

    Experts say that if your dog seems to be restless and shifts around the house a lot during nap time, it might signal some sort of discomfort. If another creature steals the pup’s bed and the dog vocalizes more than normal, paws at the spot, or keeps returning to the area, it might mean that it wants its spot back.

    That's cute, but now I'm afraid the dog can fall to the roof.

    All of the dog beds on this list seem to be luxurious, comfy, and soft, which is probably why they tend to get stolen so often! One of the most important things pet owners should look out for when buying a dog bed is its quality. A soft yet supportive mattress can help reduce pups' joint pain and improve their sleep quality.

    Dogs who sleep on cold, hard, or uneven surfaces may end up getting arthritis or develop other health issues over time. That’s why they need a nice bed that can help them rest easy and healthily. It should also be washable so that pet owners can remove the dirt, hair, and bacteria buildup over time.

    Everyone needs a safe space to relax and unwind after a long day. Turns out even our four-legged furry friends need one, too. For some of these pups, their dog bed might be that safe spot for them, while other mutts might have their own secret corners that they like running off to. It’s important for pet owners to create such a place for their dogs in the home.

    Having a relaxing spot in the house will make them feel more comfortable and less stressed out, especially during storms, when firecrackers burst or after a bad fight with a cat or another animal in the home. People can even train their dogs to go to that safe space on command.

    Every pup deserves a lovely and comfy spot to sleep in, like a dog bed. If a conniving cat or a sleepy kid stole that spot, it’s up to the mutt to find the next best place to lay in. It’s clear to see in these pictures that none of the dogs have hard feelings at having lost their bed, they just seem to be grateful for a companion.
