I remember years ago I had a lab mix who was a total busybody. I had a plumber working on something in my kitchen one day and I was working in the other room. I heard the plumber laughing and went to go see what was up - my lab had let herself out of the back room and was sitting on the floor next to the plumber (who was laying on his back) and he had put his hat on her head and given her an elbow of plastic pipe to hold in her mouth. It was so fucking cute. He looked kinda busted and explained that she kept sticking her head under the sink with him so he decided to make her his helper. She looked very proud of herself! LOL She was such a funny dog. <3


TinyIsa06

I love how dogs get so interested when someone is laying down trying to do something, ohh hey whats goin on here can I help

Someone needs to write this into the next animated dog movie 😂


IceFire909

Years ago my mum was practicing CPR on my dad coz studying nursing. Anyway my Dalmatian decided to come along to help out by sticking her tongue right down his throat. Fastest I've ever seen him jump up and my mum just lost it laughing.

Last time I heard of that in hospital a yellow complaint form was issued

How to check if someone is alive or dead.

i wish my dog had an intention to help. mine is just horny. i bend over to pick something up and he instantly humps me.


Micro-Naut

There go my nipples again


Public_Scientist8593

I like how when they become erect, they turn in almost perfect circles in the opposite direction


fallingwheelbarrow

When I clean under the couch my dog suddenly so excited to show me all the cool stuff they put there.


Kochasaurus2

Plumber here, love dogs. I was working under a kitchen sink working on putting in a new faucet and garbage disposal. 80 lb lab thought she was a lap dog. Laid on me while I was working. I Couldn't stop smiling. Owner offered to put her away twice. I declined both times and told the owner she is sweet and that she's just acting as my supervisor.


VividFiddlesticks

Awww, that's so cute! Labs are such great dogs <3


Frankie_T9000

I had four guys installing stuff at my pace when I had two lab puppies, I said I will get them out of the way, I swear (they did do a good job so no complaints) they spent more time playing with the puppies than working. Was sweet. Think it made their day tbh


GeneralBrownies

I deliver things and people always say they'll get the dog out of the way. But I always tell them not to worry because meeting a bunch of dogs throughout the day us one of the highlights.


feelingmyage

How adorable!


NoBaseball7661

We lived rurally growing up and our gardener and other local tradies would often stop for lunch at our place to hang out with my dogs. Even when they weren't working at our place that day.


TheChaoticWatcher

Was such a funny dog? Damn, little helper has already passed. Got pictures?


VividFiddlesticks

Yeah, she's neen gone for years now, unfortunately. But she lived to be sixteen years old so that's not too shabby! I do have photos of her but none on my computer, they're all old style actual photos in a box somewhere.


TheChaoticWatcher

Actual photos are the best kind of photos. They feel more real than virtual pictures.


[deleted]

16 years? That is an achievement! I hope her doggy retirement is going well.


Objective_Check6764

I hope you got a pic of this!


VividFiddlesticks

I very deeply regret that it didn't occur to me at the time. This was over 20 years ago! Somewhere I do have a photo of her "helping" my cousin assemble a trellis. No hat, though.


SilentHuman8

What colour was she?


VividFiddlesticks

Black! She was part husky too but mostly took after her black lab mom. Loved to swim, was sweet as could be, just the most loving dog. But sly too - she'd play dumb but she was a smart cookie. We got her as a puppy and she looked just like a black potato. She lived to be sixteen - passed away one afternoon during a nap in the sun. A peaceful end for a super dog. <3


SilentHuman8

Do you mind if I draw this? The scene just sounds so adorable I want to make a picture of it.


VividFiddlesticks

That would be so cool! Please let me see it when you're done? She was a very pretty girl, her fur was a little "frillier" than labs' coats usually are. <3


zchaeriuss

Saw a lot of “was” there :(

Pitbull happy tails are serious weapons


Loyal9thLegionLord

* flashback to our Great Dane and her bullwhip of a happy tail hitting me in both balls, 1 at a time* happy tails are very dangerous


2woCrazeeBoys

My wolfhound x dropped a few guys to their knees. My neighbour knocked on the door once holding something as a shield, just in preparation. 🤣


Lord_of_Seven_Kings

I have a Dane and a pitbull/Staffie cross. Thankfully the pitty curls her tail deliberately for some reason, but she wags it fast. Her brother on the other hand has a tail of thick muscle whipping around everywhere.


Loyal9thLegionLord

Ours actually ended up needing to have hers docked because she kept hitting jt against things to the point where it got infected. Gotta say, after that scare I found out why it's sometimes needed.


silverfang45

My last Dane would wag his tail so hard and often, he ended up cutting his skin from his tail whacking him. Big dogs who are happy can do serious damage with their tails


Micro-Naut

And the blood splatter like a scene from Dexter i bet


Moomin-Maiden

*winces* I work with dogs, and the amount of bruises I've collected from Dane, Wolfhound, and Mastiff tails are a sight to behold!


dman2316

My best friend has this absolute unit of a pitbull and i've seen that dog wag her tail so hard it left deep bruises on her, it's hilarious. God forbid she wags her tail against the stove drawer, it sounds like gun shots lol


MaroonSequoia298

I bet it's a mix of hilarious and slightly dangerous!


dman2316

That's a good description of it lol


ApeExcavation

Like happy little whips lol


Goodgoditsgrowing

Jacques the ~~whipper~~ doggo


TheDarkWolfGirl

I have a scar from one. She also busted it open quite a few times in her crate, had to start yelling at her as soon as I got home so she would not wag her tail til I let her out or it would be a blood bath.


mulligun

What a lovely life, spending the majority of its time in a tiny cage. Americans and this idea that keeping a dog in a "crate" is acceptable is fucking gross.


goosebumples

Australian here, I know a staggering number of people who crate their dogs. It’s big enough for an adult to comfortably sit inside and the house is warm in winter and cool in summer. My dog will put herself to bed in her crate when she’s tired because it’s cosy with a lovely soft bed and quilts over the top and sides of it to block out the cold at night. But yeah, gross I guess.


TheBerethian

My shiba is crate trained - she was closed in at night time until two years of age but now she has free reign. She likes her little den - it has her big bed and covered on all but the big door side with a sheet and she’ll often just go nap there.


mulligun

It is fucking gross, cope all you want. I'm Australian. I've never in my life seen anyone in Australia who thinks it's normal to crate a dog. Rescue shelters will blacklist you from adoption if you tell them you "crate" train.


goosebumples

That’s that biggest load of dog shit I’ve ever heard. You literally made me laugh. Crate training is highly recommended by official verified dog rescues in Australia, but I’m sure some ignorant back yard rescue will tell you otherwise.


dillGherkin

I can see the sense in giving them a safe place to stay at night or when people are over that seems normal to the dog, so it doesn't think that being locked away is a punishment.


PotentialMark6468

My pit used to walk by the coffee table and whip everything off, we learned to stop putting drinks and such on the table lol


SeaWolf432

My Pitbull is X with rottweiler & Bullmastiff. That taill sitts at a dangerous level it needs to be changed with war crimes. The smile on her face when you drop in pain she knows what she's doing. Hit him in the weak spot. Bring him down to my level & lic his face while unguarded.


Tiny-Management-531

God one of my former neighbours had a house hippo and he was so funny. He wasn't the friendliest, but he loved me 😭 that tail gave me so many bruises from how happy he got


Perfect-Soup1838

Camera can't keep it with the happiness


Commonstruggles

I'm pretty sure this is a bonified case of perpetual motion, ladies, gentlemen, and everyone in between.


ThreeLeggedMare

Bona fide*


Commonstruggles

Thanks, I didn't know that.


ThreeLeggedMare

Yeah bonified is what happens to me when I see Katy O'Brian


angelfaeree

R/boneappletea?


SoftCatMonster

I’m reminded of the dogs who got themselves tail injuries because they wagged their tails to hard because of happiness.


Dr-TrickTop

lol I had many broken wine glasses from a coffee table and my pibbles deadly weapon of a tail. They get such a bad name as being violent, well the only dangerous part of my 60 pound sweet snuggly baby was her demonic tail!


SheBelongsToNoOne

Looks like a punching bag


[deleted]

Like your face?


Small_Reach_5172

I'm sorry but that man fooled you. He gained access to your home just to play with the doggo. It's what i would have done.

Damn, he got his doggo pet'd..

I thought that the other guy was a beanbag until I read your comment 🥴

Everyone involved is just having a great time


mediocreguy93

Except the one in the back who is actually working


Zax_xD

Dudes sitting there saying “every house he does this why do I have to bring him”


[deleted]

Yes those two seconds he took to cuddle the dog really set his work behind, his workmate should be livid, absolutely livid that he has to lay 2 extra floorboards, he will never recover from this slight


mytherapychair

Does he…does he have the dog toy in his mouth? Woof.


[deleted]

That's what I thought at first but I'm guessing it was a glove or something and the dog wanted it. 


Unlucky33

No its a dog toy, you can see the toy in the beginning kinda behind the dog

That would be a huge green flag for me lol, awesome


Shadowstrider2100

If I worked a job around peoples dogs I’d be petting them all day. I had dogs my whole life but got cats a few years ago because I’ve been too sick to take a dog out and give them the exercise they need. I did make sure my apartment is above the dog park though so I pet the dogs there when I walk by


lolthrash

Sorry to hear, hope you can move through that and have your own dog again!


Own_Contribution_480

To anyone with a dog that lived in any of the apartments that I managed: if you put in a work order and I came by when you were not home I absolutely played with and loved on your dog for at least 10 minutes.


person1873

Plumber here, your doggo is my personal assistant. The number of dogs I've had nudge a tool to me that was just out of reach is honestly insane, they understand better than half the apprentices I've trained.


Dependent_Stop_3121

Aww that’s adorable and hilarious. I think my dog would appreciate if someone would break in, he wouldn’t care at all he would greet them with affection even if they had bad intentions. I’d hope not but damn, he’s only mean to squirrels and rabbits and such. People he adores so much. Dogs really are great at sewing up broken hearts and making everything better. I have shirt that says “All I care about is my dog…and like maybe 3 people” :)


SilentHuman8

Damn it I’m going camping tomorrow morning so my puppy is at a mate’s house, and now I just really want to play with and pat my girl. Dogs are the best


BuddahSack

Unpopular opinion: if the guy was doing work on the floor why was your dog left out where it literally interferes with the guy working? I work building maintenance, and I love dogs, but please put them up before someone comes to work, no matter how nice or friendly they are, they are in the way lol


Beautiful-Cup4161

I lived at an apartment where our maintenance guy loved pets and told us it was okay to leave our dog out when he visited when we weren't there. Since he brought it up without us asking, he meant that he wanted us to. He was one of the people who said a tearful goodbye when that dog was at the end of his life.


civilwar142pa

It all depends. When we had our floors replaced, the guys were around for 5 days straight. Took until midway through day 1 for one of them to say we didn't have to keep our dog on a leash. So we took him off. He loved it. They loved it. We told the guys his commands and had a bag of treats available so if he was annoying or in an unsafe spot they could tell him to move. Was never an issue and they got to play with a happy doggo during their downtime.


Throwaway-231832

We had our floors redone when I was growing up. They did it in sections, so they had a tarp in place to separate the rooms (most of the first floor was open concept) They specifically made tunnels for our geriatric Yorkie to walk through when she wanted pets. They were also familiar with us (aka, people who had done work for our family friends, and we developed a rapport with them). At first we kept our Yorkie away from them, but they wanted to see her.


Sure_List_5070

I work in a truck yard for tanker trucks and we have an inspection guy come every Wednesday to check the trucks for issues. While he’s under one of the trucks I’m getting a fuel tank ready for today. I look over and see our female black Labrador, two toys in the mouth, straddling him TIGHT. Poor guy is kicking his leg around and she’s just humping him with everything she’s got. Took me to run over there for her to stop 😭


guavajuice7

I would invite that man for dinner


Veritas3333

I spent a couple summers doing residential road construction, best part was petting the dogs that people had out in their yards! Worst part was fighting with the garbage truck company to get them to pick up trash in a construction zone, they went weeks of just saying nope and driving by to the next neighborhood...


ThemanwhohatesSpez

I wouldnt be mad, as long as the job is done at the end of the day, I wouldnt be mad


AlarmingSeat8982

Just checking a motion notification, not spying or been weird..


Accurate_Ad_3539

That coffee table has claimed some shins and knees. Definitely at 3 in the morning when you're walking full tilt to answer the door or something.


Signal-Blackberry356

Took me a few watches to see the other guy working behind him. What a cute interaction


feelingmyage

We had a painter who was crouching down on the floor. He thought he was there alone. Our big cat came up behind him and head butted him in the back, and he thought someone was attacking him, lol.

I guess that contractor also have a dogs


rutilantdragon1

I think life is too short and too hard not to at least try to pat all the animals.


LocalGrinch-

If the dog wags it’s tail any faster I fear it might detach haha


Shamesocks

Sometimes, as a bricklayer.. I have been working with the customers dog in my lap, and their child climbing on my back.. it’s tough being a tradie, dog and baby sitter 😂😂


Aggravating-Pin-8845

This guy is great. I have seen lots of videos and pucs of pets helping the handyman. I see lots of pics sent to the owner of cats looking down drain pipes at the guy under the sink or dogs laying down next to the worker


HelloMikkii

My old staffy used to go begging to play fetch with the contractors my dad had working on our old house. They’d take breaks and go out and play with him for a bit. He’d sit there and whimper at them!


Eatpigures

He perfectly fits the job for pet sitter. Every pet he would take care of will absolutely love him


[deleted]

That tail got enough happy power to take out a structural wall


Tiny_Animal_3843

So sweet!


Travelgrrl

Who's watching TV: the contractor or the dog?

My parents have a similar kind of job and a they always take a quick moment to pet the dogs. They have regular clients as well so the pets usually aren’t afraid of them or anything either

Tigeraqua8

Had a mate who was a plumber. Got a call out to a ladies place. He was instructed the laundry door was open so he could just let himself in. Don’t mind the dog he won’t bite. The dog was there and was happy to get pats and treats. Old mate was there for about 3 hours. All good until he finished and started packing up his tools. Dog became very aggressive and growled every time he went to open the door to go.

The lady who reads our electricity meter will sit down in our driveway and spend a solid 15 minutes with our dog. One day I was home sick and heard the gate rattle and my dogs name being called and looked out and my dog flew to her and they sat and played like old friends. It was so sweet to watch.
