They say that dogs are man’s best friend for good reason. They always want to be involved in whatever we’re doing, no matter what it is. Whether we’re working, playing, or sleeping, they’re right there in the thick of it — sometimes to hilarious results.
When it comes to photos, the rule still applies. Dogs want to be the center of attention. And honestly, they deserve it. They should be in all your photos because they’re a big part of your life!
And let’s face it: if you don’t include them, they’ll find a way to include themselves. That’s right — dogs aren’t above a good photobomb.
If you aren’t familiar with the word, allow us to introduce you to Collins English Dictionary Word of the Year in 2014. If you’ve spent any time on the internet at all, you know what photobombing is. It’s the act of inserting yourself into someone else’s photo, either intentionally or unintentionally.
It’s been done by the likes of Bill Clinton, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Kelly Clarkson. And dogs, as it turns out, are experts at it. When they see someone taking aphoto, they’re determined to be part of it, no matter what it takes.
