Dogs may misunderstand events or situation like people do. However, in the short story, The Mixer by P.G. Wodehouse, Blackie, the narrator and main character is notorious for "misunderstanding."

This unintelligent, ugly, but big-hearted dog will win your heart over as he narrates his life that is filled with misunderstandings.
