My family had a 65kg (143lbs) Cane Corso.

Once my father was watching the TV and the dog sleeping close to him, dog farted so hard he suddenly woke up.

Surprised by being surrounded by a weird smell the dog started to look at my father suspiciously.

Our dog always did this after farting. She knew what she was doing! When remains of another trash can raid were found and someone asked her: who did this? She also always looked at my sister. That sneaky fuck tried to frame everyone around her :D

I think this is my favorite comment so far, made me chuckle quite a bit :)

I always think of these pet shaming posts in terms of whether a human might do it, and in this situation, a human could easily have made the same mistake.

My dog just startles himself when he farts.

I'm not sure what's worse... being startled by the sound of a dog fart or being startled by a 60lb dog leaping off the couch without warning.
