One of the great joys in life for dogs is sharing in the annual traditions of their humans. And no celebration can top the pomp and circumstance of New Year’s Eve. But some pups can take the fun a little too far, making New Year’s Day a real headache. Here are some Instagram classics showing how dogs have rung in the new year … and also the aftermath of their partying ways.
Now that was a proper party hat.
This dog went with a lid that brought out his wild and crazy side.
Everyone got bubbly!
And when the ball dropped at midnight, confetti was thrown!
And noise-makers were blown!
And kisses were had.
Some pups woke bleary-eyed on New Year’s Day.
And more than a bit hungover.
