Sometimes, dogs behave a bit like children: they think all they have to do is close their eyes and — bang! No one can see them. Others, however, show a remarkable degree of inventiveness when trying to find a cosy place to hide from us.

We’ve put together a collection of some of the best photographs where man’s best friend has done his best to stay out of sight. You can’t see him at all…can you?

This doggy seems to have forgotten that he’s no longer that little puppy who used to hide away so easily.

You’re always safe behind the curtain…

I am the absolute master of hide and seek!

Pretending to be a sweater — a classic disguise!

Nice try…

If the cat can fit, I can as well!

Well, I’m in for a long wait while they search for me — might as well wait where there’s a food supply!

It’s always a good idea to finish that sausage which you stole in your secret hiding place.

It almost worked…

If they find you, just pretend you weren’t actually hiding.

Just don’t breathe.

You think they saw us?

A high-risk strategy: merge with the scenery.

Use household objects as best you can.

This is his favourite place!

If I can’t see them, they can’t see me…
