If only dogs had any idea about what's good and bad for them — their owners wouldn't have to deal with hefty vet fees and whatnot. But no matter what happens after they eat something that makes their stomachs go ballistic, we love them anyway.

Today's story from the "Today I F*c*ed Up" (TIFU) subreddit is yet another story of a dog getting into mischief and leaving their owner to deal with the hilarious consequences.

According to the original poster (OP), the family cat and dog are the best of friends. They're even a tag team when it comes to raiding the pantry.

This time, their heist involved a full bag of saltine crackers, which the dog, who is on steroids and always hungry, quickly devoured the entire bag in record time, effectively adding an unplanned meal to her day.

The owners later left her alone at home for a short trip to the store, ignoring the doggo's plea to join them outside. Unfortunately, they were greeted by an unexpected aroma in their freshly remodeled basement.

Following a trail of liquid poo, they discovered a substantial pile of diarrhea on the pristine new flooring right beside their newly acquired piano. It was a stark reminder of their dog's gastrointestinal turmoil and the consequences of not heeding her needs before leaving.

Their new living space now smells far from fresh, all thanks to ignoring their dog's upset stomach after a saltine binge.

The OP shares a funny story about his dog.

He describes the duo's latest adventure, which ended in a huge, smelly mess.

The owners had no idea of what saltines can do to a dog.

They were excited about the new living space and going to celebrate the completion of the construction.

The OP then discovers something bad smelling.

The dog was is no mood for play. It just wanted to let out a sudden and unavoidable case of explosive diarrhea.

The entire story in a few words:

Some Redditors are just overreacting. Here's the OP's response:

Some Redditors also had some stories to share.

The bottom line: Don't let dogs ingest high amounts of salt.

While this didn't involve dog diarrhea, like the OP, they still had to deal with their dog's mess on brand new flooring.

Another user also had a response toward overreacting people.

It's part of a dog's life to eat something that upsets their stomach. They're just like kiddos that put anything in their mouth.

As much as dog owners want to see every mischief as it happens, that's just not possible. This time, the OP needs to look for ways how to store food that'll be out of reach from their smart pets.

The owners have probably learned from their pets' escapades, so they'll likely look for better places to store food to prevent future mishaps and keep their living space clean and free from unexpected surprises. Now, they'll be extra cautious about where they store snacks to ensure their dog — and even their mischievous cat — won't encounter such situations again.
