One of the best things about having a dog is that when you’re home alone, you’re not truly alone. You have a little friend to keep you company, tell you jokes to, and watch TV with. Not to mention, if someone tries to attack you in your home, you have someone there to defend you who has sharp teeth and an instinct to protect. Not all dogs have the killer instinct, though. Some are used to the cushy, quiet life of domestication and would treat a dangerous intruder with the same gentleness that they would a small child.

But you never know until you’re in the quick of it. Some dogs will kick into action when their buttons get pushed, but not a second before. Your trusty fluffy pal could turn into a killing machine for the right reason. But you’ll hopefully never find that out. You’ll have the funny, goofy, cute dogs of these memes forever.
