Our dogs never fail to surprise us. Sometimes, with their hilariously dumb actions and other times with their extremely intelligent reactions. Our canines are total gems with big hearts and we love them dearly. No matter how weird they get, or how crazy they may act, we always love them the same. However sometimes, we catch our dogs in surprisingly awkward situations and we can’t help but laugh.
Something just like that happened with Britney when she walked in on her dog who was sitting like a human and she thought it was hilarious. She captured the moment and tweeted about it saying “My dog is a weirdo bro.” The tweet went viral with 1.2 million likes and 192.6K retweets. Shortly afterwards her tweet turned into an entire thread where people shared their pictures of their dogs and cats who also sit like humans. Here we’ve collected 30 photos of dogs and cats from that twitter thread.

Why do some pets sit like us? Well, there are plenty of reasons why. One of them is attention-seeking. Yes, dogs enjoy it when they are appreciated, celebrated and given attention to. They sometimes sit like us, so that we notice and laugh. This is their way of engaging with us and seeing us smile. On the other hand, cats sit like us to groom themselves. We often see cats licking their fur and grooming themselves. This is because they do not sweat like us. So, they lick their fur to keep it cool. Sitting like us allows them to cool off when they’re heated. Letting all the air get to their belly. Animals sitting like us is also a sign that they feel safe around us and they don’t want to fight. At that time they are in a very vulnerable position. All their delicate organs like stomach are in the open.

Meet Rhubarb, a charming F1 Toy Cavapoo from Marylebone, London. She’s 6 months old. And that’s what her mommy Tamsin said:
“It was in the morning, my partner and I have been working from home and we put on the TV in the background whilst we work, and we looked up and noticed her sitting upright on the sofa watching the program with us.It was such funny behavior for a puppy. She loves watching TV, she often groans if you do something she doesn’t agree with, which is quite funny, and she loves to stand on two feet.” Further, Tamsin added that suppose “with all of us being at home during lockdown, our dogs are picking up on people behaviors.”
