There might be quite a story going on here ...

Check the dog. #ki

[ysabeau@piaille.fr]

@Natasha_Jay The good point if , if th dog is the kind that don't like to be washed (cleaned?) both the dog and the man will be cleaned after probably a short battle.
I know some dogs who love mud baths... and hate getting washed in a clean bath.

@retech @Natasha_Jay having worn slippers in the mud, it's actually much easier that one might think. Once mud gets on the inside it can easily slip over one's heal

@Natasha_Jay @vosje62 I think the alt text should be a muddy person is carrying a muddy dog

@webhat @Natasha_Jay I would have thought it to be too tight to go past the ankle. Cheers

@brad
Yes! He/she is pleased as punch probably after a chaotic chase, mud wrestling, keeping the fish and getting to be carried home

But the fish ... how?

[brad@1040ste.net]

@Natasha_Jay It's the sandal halfway up the calf that tells me the story of a dog gone fishing, only to be dragged from the water up a muddy bank by their exasperated human before being carried off home while displaying the prize of their adventure in their mouth

[webhat@infosec.exchange]

@retech @Natasha_Jay it is, and the slipperiness of the mud and a little force is the golden combination 🤪

I going to bet, Bucky didn’t come when called.

@Natasha_Jay
"THE FISH!"

[cjpaloma@mstdn.social]

@AlexanderVI @Natasha_Jay I dunno, it seems a little fishy to me…But maybe the picture is worth a thousand words, like in a shaggy dog story? These seem to be muddy plays on words.

Sorry, I'll stop now.

@Natasha_Jay "You might be wondering how we ended up this way…"
*record scratch*
"It all started when I spotted a fish flapping on the mudflats and decided to take a closer look…"

[em_and_future_cats@mastodon.social]

@Natasha_Jay After staring at that stupid shoe for quite some time I *finally* see the *real* foot
As someone else commented… this should be a statue, but one that you can see the “ mud” clearly

@Natasha_Jay "I really like fishing, but worms and hooks freak me out, so..."

[penpencilbrush@mstdn.social]

@Natasha_Jay Doggo being carried like the triumphant warrior she/he is, holding the spoils of war... at least in doggo's mind. All we need here is a crown of laurel.

No comment on what human is thinking.

@Natasha_Jay

Looks like a messy fishing technique.

[skwerlgyrl@hear-me.social]

@Natasha_Jay

The more I look, the more there is to see.

The mud only being on the man's back side tells me he definitely slipped in the mud and fell backwards, at some point. I'm guessing (as my dog would have done this to me) that a leash was involved.

[katyswain@mastodon.social]

@keira_reckons I think the shoe thing is that at some point during the excitement, his foot slipped entirely through the loop across his sandal, which subsequently worked it's way up his calf. Seems legit. @Natasha_Jay

[metagrrrl@mastodon.social]

@katyswain @keira_reckons @Natasha_Jay That picture goes back to at least 2019, so not AI generated.
