These Hilarious Pets Lost Their Minds When They Met Other Animals

We all love cuddling up to our furry friends and enjoying the weird and wacky ways they sometimes relate to us. No one ever really knows what’s going on in their pets’ minds, but that’s what makes them so fun and an integral part of any family.

But it’s not just humans that our pets can sometimes struggle to understand. Sometimes the even more hilarious encounters happen when our animals are faced with a totally different species.

Check out this gallery of the top funniest reactions from pets meeting other animals.

Wow! This little pup was certainly not prepared for this fishy encounter. He looks utterly bewildered by the sight of this crazy creature.

We are not sure what is funniest about this picture, the expression of complete consternation on the dog’s face, or the randomly aggressive foghorn-shouty look on the fish’s face.

Or is it the fact that two people are holding these animals up to each other in what is quite frankly a bizarre photo op?

Whatever it is, we’re enjoying the whole package.

Another hilarious expression on this dog’s face when he catches sight of this little duck. We suppose we’d be surprised too, if we’d never seen a creature like this before either, but he does seem to be overreacting a tad. It’s only a cute little ducky! The expression of pure horror would be more suited to coming face-to-face with a lion or invading alien of some kind.

The dog does look a little bedraggled though—perhaps the duck isn’t as innocent as he seems and roughed up the pup before the camera caught them?

What we love about dogs sometimes is just their absolute overwhelming desire to please. It can be so heartwarming, to feel so utterly loved by a creature that you know would do absolutely anything for you and show just endless loyalty.

But it continues to amaze us just how much dogs will put up with in order to keep the peace in their forever home. Here we see a gorgeous pooch being overrun with some slightly overbearing ducks.

This long-suffering pup responds with such dignity—like an indulgent grandfather.

We all know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed with cuteness whenever we see a baby animal of any kind. Why would this feeling be limited to only the human experience?

We know that dogs are super loving and pretty much better people than we are anyway, so it’s really no surprise that this perfect pooch decided to take in some baby bunnies as her own and look after them and protect them from harm.

Just look at how much care the dog is giving to these tiny bunnies and how safe they seem to feel in her embrace. Beautiful!

Unlike dogs, who will grin and bear almost any awkward situation for the sake of your love, cats are renowned for having somewhat less patience for human nonsense. We all know that kitty cuddles are not something we have on tap, but something we only enjoy on the rare occasions when our cat decides we are good enough.

So here it’s very surprising to see this hilarious fluffball quite unsure of what to do next—clearly not enjoying cuddle time, but unlike the ease with which they shrug off humans, here the situation is clearly a little more difficult. Awks!

You know what they say—variety is the spice of life. This ostrich obviously got sick of mingling with the same people every day in his social scene.

We all like to branch out now and again, so why not? If you are a bit bored of your surroundings, it makes total sense to try and mix things up a bit, including the people you hang out with.

Kudos to this ostrich for broadening his horizons and choosing to go hang out with a new crowd.
