A Collection of Dog and Cat Jokes

Most dogs like to have fun with a good meaty bone. But have you ever wondered whether dogs have a funny bone? Dogs can certainly be funny. They love to play, and they have a knack for helping us take life a little less seriously. But wondering if dogs have a sense of humor may be more a question of recognition than definition.

Being playful is often associated with having a sense of humor. Not all breeds are the same, and some are typically more playful than others, according to Psychology Today. Some dogs seem to play tricks on their people (or other animals) on purpose. And they feed off of the attention they get for their antics, even if it isn’t always totally positive.

Whether or not there is enough scientific evidence to say for sure if pets have a sense of humor, we know without a doubt that we benefit from the joy and humor they bring to our lives every day. In their honor, we’ve put together a collection of jokes about dogs and cats sure to bring a smile to your face.
