"Dogs Ready to Kill You": Pictures of Canine Discontent

When we wrote about Cats Ready to Kill You, we included a few shots of disgruntled and clearly upset dogs, which were possibly ready to kill you (given the opportunity), teaming up with cats or entirely on their own.

First, let me show you the Mightiest Killing Machine of all - the Super Wolf, or Andrewsarchus:

Andrewsarchus is an extinct Mesonychid that lived in the Eocene epoch in the eastern Asia and is believed by many to be the largest land-living mammalian carnivore yet known - more info. It is possible that the frightful and huge Beast of Gevaudan was a surviving remnant of a Mesonychid, as it was described as having hooves, rather than paws. This frightful monster is what any child in history would have nightmares about.

Dogs (and even modern wolves) come nowhere near the terror potential of this killing machine. Nevertheless, dogs can be unsettling and bizarre, and today we are going to show you the lighter side of dog expressions, in some of the funniest photography around.

Using more imagination? -

Princess Leia:

Oh no...

This uniform is much better: dressed for duty -

Cats get dressed in a bad taste, too:

This is much better, as this outfit speaks volumes about cat's fighting ability (see more steampunk creations at Diarment):

Catching an impossible throw:

This dog just caught something, but not entirely sure what? or he's just too intent to please:

"Dogs Must be Carried!" - Being carried by its owner in an unscrupulous manner can stress the dog (not to mention the owner):
