One of the best and worst things about having a dog is that they never cease to surprise you. Just when you think you know all of their quirks and bad behaviors down to a tee, you get complacent and they throw you a curveball that you could never have seen coming.

The one thing that is predictable is that this will often involve bodily functions in some way. This is particularly true if your canine friend is getting older. There comes a point where you have no choice to accept the grossness, but the form that this comes in can occasionally be bewildering.

This was the case for one dumbfounded Twitter user, who woke up one morning to realize that his elderly beagle had been sick. What made this bizarre was that the contents of the vomit contained the French flag. It didn’t take long for the rest of the platform to begin cracking jokes.
