Those of us with pets likely all have a story of finding our animals in all sorts of strange positions, hidden places and just plain odd situations. Twitter user jack4520 recently found their beloved pet in what looks like an incredibly uncomfortable place, although the smile on the animal’s face says otherwise. Click below to find out what animal found its way into this crowded bookshelf!
The contortionist canine looks quite proud to have positioned itself so well on top of those books. His owner commented, “You are the only one who would think to try to fit in that shelf!”
The smiling pup must have been inspired by the cats on the Internet trying to store themselves and decided to give it a try. By the looks of that bookshelf, it probably should have picked a sturdier piece of furniture to try on.
This happy shiba inu made quite the splash on the web with Japanese netizens. They especially wondered what compelled it to act like a cat and what was behind its gigantic, prideful grin. Perhaps this dog is jealous of all the attention felines were getting on the Internet in the recent years. We think he certainly deserves his place among cute animals on the web!
