First of all, let me explain how this article came to be. Sometimes BarkPost makes poop jokes on our Instagram. Because,I mean, do we need a reason? Anyway, this one garnered a comment thread that was simply too good to ignore.
So, without further ado, I give you… 12 things you’ve pulled out of your dog’s butt:
1. If this isn’t a sign of true love, I don’t know what is.
Joyce (@okayjwu) told us
“At first Joey used to freak out that something was stuck in his butt. But now he just looks at me in that poop position and I…pull it out.”
In a later, more descriptive comment:
“Most of the time it’s actually my own hair and the poop that’s stuck on it kind of just dangles but sometimes it’s like rope from a toy he chewed up or something.”
2. This woman risked her life to help her dog poop better. She is a hero.
Peanut’s human wrote
“When the poop gets stuck halfway out because Peanut has ingested my hair and then I have to remove it on a busy street. That is devotion.
3. You might want to get new laces after this.

Thanks a butt ton, everyone! And please, if you pull something, say something.
