Awkward Pets Of Facebook: 13 Adorably Cringe-Worthy Pics

You've seen them: pampered puppies, fat cats, bizarre family pictures with snakes.

These odd images occasionally consume your Facebook newsfeed, raking in more comments and "Likes" than your six-year-old daughter's first day of school picture (humph).

Who are these cringe-worthy creatures? We present to you the Awkward Pets of Facebook. They're kind of cute, kind of ugly and definitely a little bit odd. But then again, who doesn't love a pregnant Pug or a bounding Basset Hound?

While Facebook used to be littered with profiles dedicated to pets, the company has since cracked down on fake user accounts. So to gather these awkward images, we scoured the social network for public posts and pet-lover groups that could provide us with a little animal entertainment.
