Mark Zuckerberg Heckled by Dogspotting Society Members: ‘Show Us The Dog’

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg was heckled Tuesday with comments of “show us the dog” as he posted in the public group Dogspotting Society about a new feature that lets admins of a group designate members experts.

Mark Zuckerberg Heckled by Members of Popular Facebook Group: ‘Show Us The Dog’

At first, Zuckerberg wrote on the group, “Admins can collaborate with group experts to host Q&As, share perspectives, and respond to questions”. “I'm excited for you to try these updates, so I wanted to do a Q&A on something I may be a bit of an expert at: owning a Puli!” But as he was trying to explain the new features, he was interrupted by group members who commented “Show us the dog”.

“You should know better than anyone posts with a photo get the most traction here. SHOW THE DOG ZUCKERBERG,” one member commented. “He shouldn't be exempt from paying dog tax,” another added. A third commenter chimed in, “You think you can just come in here without posting a photo of your dog? SHOW US THE DOG.” 

The torrents of comments immediately got through to Zuckerberg who later paid the required dog tax after answering questions about his dog, a Puli named Beast, in his group Q&A.

He shared not one, not two, but eight photos of his dog and wrote: “This is a great group -- keep up the dog spotting!”

“Paying the tax” is a practice among Dogspotting Society members. It involves posting a dog picture for each and every group post.

The Real Risks: Weighing Vaccine Side Effects vs. Deadly Diseases

Some dog owners express concern about vaccine risks. Meanwhile, preventable diseases continue to pose a documented threat. For example, a two-year pause in dog rabies vaccination campaigns in Haiti resulted in a five to eightfold increase in animal rabies cases within a single year, creating a public health crisis that required an emergency response. This event illustrates a central fact: the dangers of vaccine-preventable diseases are quantifiably greater than the known risks associated with vaccination. This article will address concerns about vaccine safety by examining the precise nature of both vaccine risks and disease threats, using verifiable data to support informed decision-making for your dog's health. The Biological Impossibility of Canine Autism The claim that vaccines cause autism in dogs is not supported by veterinary science due to fundamental biological reasons.

5 Must-Ask Questions Before You Leave Your Dog at the Groomer

A 2022 study in the Journal of Veterinary Behavior noted that over 50% of dogs show signs of stress during grooming. While severe physical injuries are less common, a single preventable incident is one too many. Cases like those in Louisiana, where dogs received ocular chemical burns from misused shampoo at a licensed facility, demonstrate that a groomer’s marketing claims are not a guarantee of safety. Your dog’s well-being depends on the protocols you cannot see. The only way to evaluate them is to ask direct, specific questions. The goal is not to create conflict, but to identify competence and build trust based on transparent practices. 1. “What is your exact step-by-step protocol for protecting my dog’s eyes during the bath?” The difference between a safe groom and a dangerous one lies in the specifics of execution. Indicator of a Professional “Before the bath, we apply a sterile, vet-approved ophthalmic ointment to lubricate the eyes and create a barrier against shampoo. We av...
