Some Things Are Best Left to the Pros

Eager to squeeze in on the “wacky cats in tiny boxes” craze, sad-eyed Buddy the bulldog bites off much less than he can chew. Nice try, Buddy.

    You might be Canadian, if you say ‘eh?’ to your dog . . . called ‘Buddy’.

  2. Maureen from Canada says:

    Where is Maru when he is needed???!

  3. Martha in Washington says:

    I love hearing someone trying to reason with an anipal! And, yes, I’ve tried it once or twice myself to no avail.

  4. skippymom says:

    Is that a decapitated horse head lying on the floor at the end?

  5. Lillith says:

    Well Maru does it with far more panache, but Buddy’s grumpface is quite endearing.

  6. Mudbug says:

    Buddy seems to think it fits just fine thank you very much !

  7. 260Oakley says:

    You, sir, are no Boxer. Butt you are cute.

  8. mike says:

    It’s Maru’s non-union bulldog equivalent!

  9. Cambridge Rat Mom says:

    Who’s the ridiculous one, eh?

  11. Ruth says:

    Buddy, I’m so in love with you, if I ever saw you IRL I would kiss those adorable lips !!!!!!! I especially love those 5 crooked teeth on your lovely bottom jaw !!!!!!!!! Don’t worry about the size of the box, it’s not your fault, I’d blame it on the box !!!!!!!!

  12. skippymom says:

    Hate to say it, Buddy, buddy, but that box, well…kind of makes you look fat.

  13. emmberrann says:

    Maybe we should ask Maru to facilitate a seminar on box-ing. This doggins could be the first one to sign up for it.

  14. cellarmouse says:

    mr. owner is awfly ironic (and concerned with size)…buddy’s beautiful and clearly would do anything to please…guess who’s my favorite…

    “What? The cat does this all the time!”

  17. Fird Birfle says:

    WHO said Maru was a “wacky” cat???

    Corpulent? possibly? Photogenic?? Indubitably. Addicted to boxes? very likely.
    Adorable? Absolutely.

  18. The Original Jane says:

    This is an public service announcement from your local vet. Please have your pooch’s under bite checked immediately. Thank you.

  19. Grace says:

    So Canadian!

  20. juuleeah says:

  21. Does my butt look big in this box?

  22. Rachael says:

    Harrumph, I think Buddy looks just perfect in his leetle box.

  23. Val :) says:

  24. Katie says:

    Maru has competition!

  25. Patricia says:

    I’m not too sure what this video is trying to accomplish……

  26. LauraH says:

    He’s obviously loves his box addicted Bulldog, look at all the boxes he had laying around for him! That reminds me, need to order an item from MEC!

    My Dante, right now, is positioned in a big box, surrounded with packing paper in the classic “SURPRIZE! You Gotz A LOLCat!” configuration:

    • The Original Jane says:

      Hey Theresa, that’s your cat? Why was he/she making that face? Yawning, meowing, or what?

  28. Jon says:

    I knew Maru. Maru was a friend of mine. And you, sir, are no Maru!

  29. Kim says:

    Ha ha, I’m Canadian and immediately noticed the MEC box too! I like how Buddy sat down and busted the box so it actually did fit him.

  30. Kelley says:

    What an adorable boy! He does seem slightly ashamed of his predilection, methinks. I clicked through to watch it on Youtube, and there was this accompanying link: A RABBIT HERDING SHEEP! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=qeuL5IGimCQ#!

    • Joasia says:

      Oh for goodness sake, this cannot be real! Peeps, click on the link above, you won’t believe your eyes! :) Kelley, thanks for sharing this, you’ve made my day :)

  31. Liz says:

  32. Kieli Heart says:

  33. coco says:

    Honey, does this box makes look FAT?

  34. Paul says:

    I love the quick pan to all of the other boxes that Buddy clearly disapproved of in lieu of the one that he can barely fit in (once he tears out that last piece, anyway).
