Dogs are naturally intelligent. They are able to learn commands easily and they can somehow understand what their humans mean. This, however, doesnโt mean that all dogs excel at making disappearing acts.
Some dogs donโt really understand how hide-and-seek works. Some of them know what the game is all about, but they arenโt aware how to properly play it. And there are dogs that have a full understanding of the game but canโt find decent hiding spots where they can fit into.
If you donโt believe that, then check out these 75 dogs that fail miserably at hide-and-seek.
1. Waiting forever
This dog did a great job in finding a good hiding spot. Unfortunately, he doesnโt have the patience to wait forever to be found.
2. No idea
Heโs trying really hard not to be seen. We can all see that.
3. Surprise!
Hide-and-seek is a really exciting game. Youโll never know where the other person- or dog- might pop out.
4. Quite the logic
If he canโt see you, then you probably canโt see him, too. And heโs quite confident about it.
5. Inseparable
This is a common problem when youโre playing with your best friend. No matter how small your hiding space is, heโll choose to stick with you.
6. Target spotted
Itโs really hard to miss this one. With those tiny paws and that cute corgi butt, who wouldnโt be able to spot that dog?
7. Just the head
Considering his size, this dog is having a hard time finding the perfect hiding spot for him. When he ran out of time, he figured that hiding his head would be enough.
8. You canโt see me.
If you canโt find a good spot to hide, then just consider blending in with your environment. This dog kind of nailed it- except for his paws and tail.
9. What dog?
This dog chose to jump into a big pile of leaves to hide. Itโs a pretty good place to spy on people and wait for squirrels, too.
10. The last place
When you are playing with your dog, this is probably the last place where heโs likely to hide. Why would a dog hide inside a washing machine in the first place?
11. Behind the door
This dog is like most of us. Whenever we play hide-and-seek, the first place we go to is behind a door. Unfortunately, he doesnโt get the part where heโs supposed to hide himself completely.
12. Just in case
Playing hide-and-seek can be exhausting so this dog decided that the best place to hide is behind the refrigerator door. Itโs also the best place to wait for food to drop on the floor.
13. Expert level (not)
This dog thought that the best place to hide is on the bed. He even went behind one of the pillows to make sure he wonโt be seen.
14. Effortless
Why run and hide when you can just squeeze into a pile of toys? Itโs both clever and cute.
15. No time
The challenging part of winning in a hide-and-seek game isnโt finding the best hiding spot. Sometimes, itโs making it on time. With all the rocks behind, this dog simply chose to bury his face in the sand.
16. Brilliant
This dog is quite clever. He didnโt have to run or squeeze into things just to hide. He just needs to lay down on the carpet.
17. The perfect spot
If youโre going to play hide-and-seek, expect to get tired and hungry after. With that in mind, the refrigerator is the perfect place to go to if you want to hide. Itโs cold and itโs full of snacks.
18. When you ran out of hiding places
If you ran out of places to hide, then just do what this dog did. Cover your eyes and hope no one finds you.
19. A different reason
So, this dog was hiding when his humans came. At first, you might think that heโs just playing with them. However, if you take a closer look, youโll get a better understanding why heโs behind that Christmas tree.
20. Because he fits
If youโre playing with this dog, youโll probably lose. You see, his owners actually had to lift up their sofa to find their clever dog.
21. Youโll never notice.
If it wasnโt for his nose, this dog wouldnโt have been found. I guess the pillow was too small to cover him entirely.
22. Committed
No pain or sickness can stop this dog from playing. Even with a cone, heโs fully committed to win the game.
23. Advantage
This dog knows how cute he is and heโs taking advantage of it. See how he chose to hide behind two adorable stuffed toys? He did that on purpose.
24. Under the table
There are two things that can happen when you hide under the table. One is that you win the game and two, you get to eat leftover foods.
25. Under the blankets
This dog nearly won the game. If he wasnโt too big for the blanket, he might have won the game. Oh well, better luck next time.
26. He fell asleep.
It looks like his owners took a really long time to find him. He fell asleep while waiting.
27. Just checking
He wanted to make sure that heโs still winning the game so he decided to take a quick look. A bad move, indeed.
28. No other choice
When youโre outdoors during winter, you donโt really have that much choice. You just hide wherever you can.
29. So tired
After hours of hiding, look how this poor dog ended up. Heโs way too sleepy to even care if heโs been found.
30. Ulterior motive
Judging by how he looks at that jar, this dog isnโt really interested in the game. It seems that heโs more interested in those pretzels.
31. Almost
This dog almost won the game. If it werenโt for his behind and hind legs, he would have made his human his slave for the day.
32. Take a second look.
At first glance, you might think that this is just a picture of ac pile of stuffed toys. If you take a closer look, youโll see a really patient dog waiting for his humans to find him.
33. With a little help
To succeed in life, you may need to ask for help every now and then. Well, the same is true when youโre playing hide-and-seek.
34. Youโll never find me.
This dog wanted to be extra sure that heโll win the game. He decided to jump into his toy box and get a few stuffed toys on top of him. Despite all the effort, he still lost the game.
35. A different reason for hiding
This dog wasnโt really into playing hide-and-seek. He just wanted to hide because of his Christmas outfit this year.
36. Really trying to fit
This is probably the only hiding spot he has at home. Just look at how heโs trying so hard to make himself fit. Itโs hilarious and amusing at the same time!
37. In and under the wardrobe
These two are partners in crime. One hides wherever the other one hides.
38. Under the coffee table
This duo chose a very unusual place to hide. One of them even managed to take a treat with him, just in case their human takes forever to find them.
39. Silly dog
This dog doesnโt mind how ridiculous he looks. As long as heโs there, he knows he wonโt be found easily.
40. Cover me
Dogs arenโt good at camouflaging themselves, just like this one. Even if thereโs a ton of stuffed toys covering him, his tiny foot gave him away.
41. All white
He might be white in color but he certainly failed to blend in with the sheets. If only he closed his eyes and buried his nose a bit, he might have succeeded.
42. Pretending to be a pillow
This dog doesnโt fully understand the difference between his color and the print on the pillow. Heโs insisting that heโs blending well.
43. Like a panda
Being black and white doesnโt necessarily mean that youโre a panda or you can pretend to be one. Good try, though.
44. A for effort
This dog is somehow familiar with the rules of the game. Unfortunately, his execution wasnโt that great.
45. Distance is the key
This dog is testing out his theory. Heโs trying to prove that the farther you are, the less likely youโll be seen.
46. Taking advantage
This dog chose to hide in the pantry not just to win the game but also see the snacks his human bought for him. Quite clever, donโt you think?
47. The ears
Itโs almost a win for this dog. If only he was able to tuck his ears a bit, he might have won the game.
48. Not aware of his size
This dog doesnโt mind if heโs too big to play hide-and-seek. He also doesnโt mind if he doesnโt look like heโs hiding. Heโs just there to play the game.
49. I see you!
This dog is a total winner for finding his human. Now, itโs his turn!
50. How many dogs are in the picture?
This particular photo is a test for you. Can you count how many dogs are in the picture? Just a warning, one of them is doing a really awesome job concealing himself.
51. No dog here
Thereโs no dog trying to make himself look invisible in that dog bed. His eyes are closed so you wonโt be able to tell.
52. A new way to play
This dog has a hilarious way of playing hide-and-seek. Instead of hiding his entire body, he just hides his head.
53. This will do.
Big dogs donโt usually realize their size. Whenever they play, they act as if theyโre tiny dogs.
54. A curtain is a curtain.
This dog is clueless about the different types of curtains. He thinks that he can hide in any type of curtain.
55. Resourceful
Sometimes, you need to find new ways to win the game. This dog chose to hide under the newspaper and nearly got away with it.
56. Almost
This dog found a practical spot to hide himself. Itโs comfortable and nearly effective. If his human takes a long time to find him, he can sleep while waiting.
57. A different approach
This is one of the reasons why dogs arenโt supposed to go through the cat door. They arenโt even supposed to use it as a hiding spot.
58. Sshh!
If he doesnโt move or make a sound, he might actually get away with this one. Itโs definitely the perfect spot for his size.
59. No effort
This dog didnโt need to put that much effort into hiding. In fact, the spot is so comfortable that he fell asleep on it while waiting.
60. Behind the tree
Heโs standing there as if he still hasnโt been found. Good job to his human for playing along with his dog.
61. Clones
If you canโt beat your human in hiding, might as well confuse him. Get stuffed toys that look just like you and stay still. Take it from this dog.
62. The blanket didnโt work.
The camouflage print helps a lot in concealing items. In this case, however, it didnโt help that much.
63. On the sand
His color enables him to blend well with the sand and he looks very proud of it. Letโs see how he feels when bath time comes.
64. Under the dog bed
Hereโs a quick hiding tip from this dog: If you canโt find a good spot or if you donโt have that much time to look for one, simply turn the dog bed upside down and get under it. Easy, right?
65. Behind the toilet
This dog didnโt fail the game. In fact, heโs done a really good job finding that spot. Imagine what you will feel when you need to use the toilet and you see a pair of eyes staring at you like that.
66. Under the bed
This dog managed to find a hiding spot that can accommodate his size. Judging by the way he looks, an announced trip to the vet or a very naughty behavior pointed her to that spot.
67. In the laundry basket
By the way heโs wrapped up, it seems that the dog got some help hiding among the dirty blankets. Unfortunately, whoever helped him wanted him to be found.
68. Is that a dog?
Itโs either the dog has done an excellent job in hiding himself or heโs just dressed as a cat. Either way, heโs doing an (almost) excellent job.
69. Behind the pillows
At first glance, you might think that thereโs just a couple of pillows on that sofa. That wrinkly forehead will make you think twice.
70. Just checking
This excited dog wanted to make sure that he hasnโt been found yet. He couldnโt resist poking his big head through the pillows- bad move.
71. No care
This dog is feeling extra proud about his hide-and-seek skills. He refuse to accept that heโs already been found.
72. Is it safe to come out yet?
This dog came out a little too early. And based on how his eyes look, heโs extremely regretting it.
73. Hiding from the vacuum
These two dogs have their own vacuum hiding nook. Itโs silly and amusing at the same time.
74. Hiding from bath time
This dog is probably the best one in hiding on this list. I bet you couldnโt see him at all, too.
75. What hiding means to him
You canโt see his head which means you canโt see him. This poor guy is a total failure when it comes to hide-and-seek.
