This cute little guy is peeking around the corner while clutching to to the wall like a safety blanket. We don’t know what has the critter so shy, but you can just imagine the owner softly whispering to coax it out. Do you think they managed to get their pet to come out and say hello? Either way, what a cute little photo.

Maybe Pokemon was on to something. Can you imagine walking through tall grass and stumbling on this cute little guy? But we think this bashful beast won’t stick around to say hello. But maybe if you keep it cool and watch him from afar you can enjoy this adorable sight.

You turn around for just a moment and your shy critter hides wherever they can. Maybe they just enjoy the soft feel of linens or the smell of freshly cleaned clothes. But we’re glad the owner snapped this shot before pulling the pet out for safety. Hopefully it didn’t steal any left socks while it was hiding.

We know some people aren’t the most confident about hand holding, but we never thought dogs would be. This handsome canine can’t look at their owner while they touch their paw.

This cat has a look that just sings uncertainty. It clearly loves being held by its human, but there’s a timid little look. You can almost hear the cat asking if being held for a little longer is ok. Judging by the boy’s look and posture, we can guess that hugs are more than alright.

We love how this dog looks at the camera. It knows it’s a pretty dog and is humble and shy enough to not need to show off for the camera.

This Reddit user volunteers at a local shelter and was told that this cat is particularly shy and people-nervous. But then it buried its nose into her hug and refused to let go for several minutes. We don’t know if she has the love of all animals like Disney’s Pocahontas, but one thing’s for sure. This cat found someone to bond with that brings them calm.

Take a look at this shy dog. Did they do something they shouldn’t have? Are they trying to charm their human into letting them stay outside for a little bit longer? Let’s hope that their human speaks dog so we can all find out.

We’ve all had days like this dog. We just want to wrap ourselves in a blanket burrito and snooze the day away. But unlike humans, dogs can get away with a lot because they are just so cute. But maybe this one will come out of hiding if you bring out a bowl of food.

Can you imagine having a camera in your hand and seeing your dogs act like you aren’t even there? Well this picture shows what that might look like.

This pretty pug just caught its owner with a camera. The way its paw covers its muzzle and it looks with just one eye shows attentiveness and bashfulness. If this dog could talk, what do you think it might say? We think it would say, “You have to wake up early to get a picture of this dog.”

This cat knows better than to sit on the couch like that. So we imagine it’s hoping that no one notices if it covers its eyes. But we see you kitty cat and…we actually don’t mind. It’s hard to say no to such a fuzzy friend.

What do you do when yo uwant to snuggle with your human and feel the sun on your face? Well this dog’s answer is to find a great sunbathing spot between its owners knees. This way, the dog can stay mostly out of sight while enjoying two of its favorite things. What a deal?!

This dog’s owner must have been a fan of The Ring and wanted to dress their dog up to fit the part. We don’t blame you if it’s a little on the spooky side, but this dog is simply being shy. We just wish the owner gave us a front shot so we could see if the dog is as silly or lovable as we imagine.

This dog was being cared for by a friend while the owner was away. The dog would always hide from the caretaker peeking out to see if they were still around. We hope that the dogsitter didn’t take it personally, since some dogs are just really uncertain about new people.

Some dogs were just not made to be on camera, like this cute little fellow. We’re just happy that the dog didn’t run out the room to get away from the camera. After all, we wouldn’t want to miss out on seeing this handsome dog. Do you think it ever got over their camera-fear?

This dog is just doing its best to stay out of sight. We bet the dog slipped away to hide just a moment later because it had more than enough attention for one day.
