A new Dog Shaming website is punishing guilty pooches by posting a photo of them along with a record of their crimes on the Internet.

Doggie offenses range from non-stop licking of the couch to the classic eating of the homework, and the shame in their faces is all too telling of their guilt.

“There’s a dog, he can’t even look at the camera, he’s so depressed,” says Ross and Burbank host Luke Burbank.

Only, are these really expressions of guilt, or do dogs just look like that?

The animals in these photos likely didn’t get their photo snapped right after the offending behavior, but still, these dogs look guilty.

“It looks the same all the time,” says Dave Ross.

“It turns out Dave, that dogs faces were made built in with a guilty look,” says Burbank.

The offenses aren’t that severe – a lot of eating of things. But the photos sure are fun to look at.

We’d like to see your guilty pups. If you have an offending pooch, send his/her shame photo to the Magic Messages inbox.

But don’t post photos of the innocent.

“Don’t humiliate a pet that doesn’t deserve humiliation because that is not fair,” says Dave. “I mean some of this stuff is probably made up.”

“I don’t know. These dogs look pretty guilty,” says Luke.
