People get schadenfreude from a variety of outlets these days, particularly on through reality shows and online media. This gallery of dogs with cones is an illustration of how people get misery not only out of the misfortune of other people, but out of animals too.
This collection of photos showcases several dogs wearing plastic Elizabethan collars, or e-collars.
Cats just have this attitude that makes I Can Has Cheezburger a roaring success. Dogs With Cones however, is a compassionate blog that is "dedicated to our best friends in cones."
Coned canines can be pathetic looking making you say "awwwwww", or funny looking, to give you a chuckle.
