Some people have a knack for taking amazing photos, and it still is a challenge to reveal all their secrets. Lighting, angles, and composition are only half of what’s required to get an awesome shot. The most important thing is to feel in your bones that something’s going to happen. That’s how these 15 people managed to capture cool moments with their 4-legged friends.

1. “He’s trying to say something in Italian.”

2. “My dog is in the middle of an existential crisis.”

3. “When you’re on a diet”

4. “I know what you did last summer.”

5. “Why do you embarrass me human.”

6. “My cat caught a lizard and had no idea how to proceed.”

7. “Imagine trying to poop in peace and you look down to see this.”

What hilarious things have your pets done? What do they always do when you aren’t looking?
