My dog chewed up both my Vita and my 3DS. Welp, that sucks!

Man the Vita is not looking good at all.

Also, that dog is adorable.

AW MAN LOOK AT THAT GUY

Look, I love my dog, but if he did THAT....


You better HOLD me back!

The culprit...

Those eyes. He knows exactly what he did.

You know what's for dinner tonight ... plain white bread and tap water

That's a real bummer. Does he not have chew toys?

Come on, who could shout at those doggy eyes.

Seriously though, I was expecting some sort of rottweiler from the looks of those consoles. Sucks man, dogs are awesome (screw cats) but that's one of the dangers about owning them, they can feck up you stuff.

Who needs Vita and 3DS when you have a dog!

p.s. Of all things why did the dog choose the game systems? Either he was lacking options, or he targeted the systems specifically.

Should have bought that screen protector for the Vita, bro.

But, seriously, that sucks. I have a dog too, so I make sure I keep my valuables higher than table height or in drawers.

Wow a few anointed duders out there gettin' all snippy. I guess it goes to show that at the end of the day, this is still an Internet forum. I'm going to ahead and offer my condolences and hope that your significant other makes it up to you in some way.

How did your wife not notice? Maybe she did it.

eat the dog, that will teach it to put things that don't belong in there (even though it might feel sooo right).

This probably means you need to play and pay attention to your dog more.

For some reason that actually made me laugh out loud. Thanks.

@holycrapitsadam: So you know, my exact reaction was "d'awww... what!? I'd give up my 3DS for that thing."

Dogs suck. A cat wouldn't do that.

Maybe your dog is trying to tell you something...

See this is why get a cat, they don't like plastic :)

Get a cat.

Damn, that sucks. Honestly that last picture of your "culprit" cracked me up, though. Those eyes are borderline manipulative.

No, a cat would just scratch the shit out of your couch and leave hair everywhere and knock on your door all night. Not to derail the thread into a cats vs dogs debate...

Dogs win.

This is the problem with dogs you see. A cat would simply have set your house on fire and took off with your wife. You wouldn't even care about the games in that case. :3

Cats can't feel love. Only hate. Dogs can love.

I bet you can sell the vita to someone on ebay who thinks they can (or maybe actually can) salvage something out of it. Even if you get 20 bucks, it's better than nothing.

Maybe get some fine sandpaper and clean up the 3DS chew areas a bit and you can deal with that - at least it still works.

Dogs can be a fucking nightmare when they are young and are prone to this shit. You need to make sure nothing you care about is lower than like 6 feet when you leave the house, because they will absolutely go to town on anything until they are use to the routine.

My cat, who I still have and love with all my heart, managed to jump on my desk within 2 minutes of me leaving my bedroom and spilled water all over my laptop, ruining the damn thing. However, I would still rather have a cat than a dog.

I feel your pain.

This was kinda my fault though, happened like a year and a half ago I think. A family member was in the hospital in critical condition and I wasn't really thinking at the time and left it in a bad place, and when we all left for the hospital I'm sure the way we were acting wasn't helping the dog so she was probably just as upset.

Although on many other occasions both dogs have chewed through charging cords, specifically nintendo handheld ones for some reason. One 3DS cable, 2 DS ones, an SP. But none of my phone cables over the years, not my vita, not anything else that's around in the exact same areas as the nintendo ones. I think my dogs hate nintendo.

Big dogs are scary.

That dog has interesting taste in chew toys.

The truth was right there, people just choose not to read and understand. The guy had to work for 20 hours, what was he supposed to do?

Anyway, cute doggy! Sorry to see what happened, but hey at least the 3DS still works so you're good. :P

@slashdance: i'd arguably say dogs chew more shit than cats do, but cats have ruined some pricey headphones of mine so w/e

i like them both but lean towards cats, dogs can be just so goddamn rowdy sometimes (as sweet and playful as they can be) :D

Though I know OP has clarified his wife was home, I don't see how it was "leaping to conclusions" to assume the guy had just left his dog alone for 20 hours, considering that all he had said in his original post was that he had a 20 hour work day and came home to his dog chewing stuff up. A lot of people care about their dogs, and an unclarified post that suggests a dog spending the vast majority of a day alone in a house doesn't sit well.

Dog > Vita & 3DS

Painful. I would hate if happened... and I would blame it on the wife. lol

My cat once pissed on the box of Zelda Ocarina of time but nothing like this lol.

I have to wonder if OP got his systems chewed up on purpose!

Sue your dog.
Blame Rorie.

All I could think is hulk smash if that happened to me. Though I hate the dog we have in the house so I'm sure if you like yours it would be a little different.

Well that sucks.

To you maybe, telling this man that he's neglectful and is too irresponsible to own a dog based on one small paragraph seems like jumping to conclusions to me, we don't know the circumstances in this guys life.

I have two dogs as well, I love them to death and they get treated better than I do at home, sometimes they eat stuff just because that's what dogs do. They find something that has a different texture or makes a different sound than they are used to and go to town on it.

Asshole dog.
