When we have a pet in the family we already know that we will be dealing with a living being capable of keeping us company, giving us affection, understanding, lots of joy and a carefree and above all a decidedly eventful life full of ... strong emotions.

Yes, because having a dog or cat in the house also and above all means not being able to predict what our four-legged friends will do, how they will behave at home or with guests, and if by chance we leave them alone for a few minutes or for a few hours, we are sure that when we return they will have gotten up to no good! Here is a fun list of photos where our animal friends have given their favorite humans a shock - fear not for now, they're all false alarms!
