CODE BROWN! Malinois Owner Shares Unfortunate Doggy Mishap and X Brings the Humor

This writer has owned two dogs in her life, and her childhood pooch -- Shadow -- had some major separation anxiety. Once, he managed to lock himself in the bathroom while her family was out and left a trail of damage in his wake.

So she gets it when she sees posts like this:

Somebody, who shall remain nameless, locked our malligator in the garage when they went to bed last night. During a thunderstorm. Both of which he hates. Not only did he wreck the place, plus my office, but he conjured up this little treat in total darkness.. pic.twitter.com/znvluOsaEk

That right there is a message.

Malinois are beautiful, but high-maintenance dogs who require constant physical and mental stimulation or they do stuff like this.

X users wasted no time in dogpiling the poster, having a good laugh at his expense.

It’s fine, just turn on the fan to push the smell ou-

Ah, crap.

Literally.

The fact that it is solid should be considered a massive victory considering the circumstances.

Take the wins where you can get them.

This was a message. Our malligator used to send messages too. Would pull a throw pillow off the couch, surgically remove the stuffing, then sit next to the neat pile she’d made until we got home.

It sure was a message.

If the fan is strong enough, this problem will take care of itself. Just move it outside first.

That's a bold strategy.

Oh the joys that only Mal owners can truly understand. At least you got to him before he decided to turn it on.

That's when you just burn it all down and start over.
