Daughter Teaches Dad How To Selfie, Doesn’t Expect Him To Become Internet Sensation
752Kviews
There’s nothing cuter than old folks learning to use technology and giving it their best shot. This just recently happened to a sheep farmer in Walcha, Australia, who was introduced to the ubiquitous selfie by his daughter, and proceeded to have way too much fun with it.
In a series of photos originally posted to the ‘Cool Dog Group’ Facebook page, then spread around the Internet, the man can be seen working the front camera with two supremely photogenic dogs, and even a sheep. It’s so innocent and pure, it’s bringing smiles to everyone who lays their eyes on it. Can we just go live on this guy’s farm and take selfies with all his adorable animals, please?
Though the story seems to have been confirmed by the man’s goddaughter, we’re still looking for more information about him – and possibly more selfies! If we have any sleuthing detective pandas in the audience who have additional info to offer, drop it in the comments. In the meantime, enjoy these wholesome, heartwarming photos, and share them with anyone who needs a pick-me-up today.
Here’s what the Internet had to say

No, he doesn't. He needs real life, not virtual. And he needs to deal with those furballs/woolball in real life, not online.
Pretty sure that man has no problem with real life and would not have a problem getting a little virtual on the side. Those critters look to be well cared for and well loved and it's ok to share that.
sogs are the best.
I LOVE Sogs!!
That is a truly awesome sog, too. Just look at those soggies!! <3
dogs that is...cant even blame auto correct on that one.
Funny!! was wondering what a Sog was - something Australian???
What is a SOG? That is a border collie!
Totally lovable guy and doggies. All of them obviously enjoy this. <3
Sorry, only one dog .. I misjudged the last photo, that is actually a sheep.
Look again, there are two dogs. Yes there's a sheep in the bottom photo, but the dog isn't the same dog as in the first three images.
Patrick Lopez: Yes, I see .. I am obviously a bit confused today
that dog was meant for the camera
What a photogenic dog <3
I love these pictures! They make me feel happy, especially the sheep one
The dog is my spirit animal!!!
YES! Instagram please!
The farmer's name is Lance Partridge
This is so cute! Him and his dogs!
The dogs are just models "YEAH PHOTO ME PHOTO ME, I LOVE YOU GARY! I WANT TO BE SENSATION!" The black and white dog said
You can see the love on the dogs face, so photogenic !!

The love & comfort the animals show tell me he's got to be a kind & loving person.
Collies.... so expressive!
These are the best ever!!!!!
They're all so happy <3
My kinda guy!
The dog is very photogenic and the man looks very nice! He learned how to selfie very well!!
i want a love like this
Sheep and dogs =sogs
The dog is completely fabulous.
it warm my heart ! Lot of love in these selfies.
Awesome selfies!!!!
This looks just like my dog! I was like, who is this old man hanging out with Khallie?!
All are having way too much fun - STOP IT! The dog cute and precocious, the sheep charismatic and the Farmer looks a lot like Jack Thompson - very suave.
His name is Lance Partridge.... he's not on social media but his daughter uploaded the pics. He says he won't allow more to be uploaded :-( http://www.theland.com.au/story/3691794/thats-it-for-a-reluctant-celebrity/
LOL on TheOtherBagdad 's comment - fine ball of wool. Awesome doggie.
We have 5 Blue Heeler dogs, horses, Highland cows and sheep, on the farm. These photos are fantastic. Lol,as an old farmer, l'll have to try taking some selfies with some of my animals. Thank you for the inspiration.
See, dogs have spent so much time with mankind they now know to smile and pose for selfies. Even the sheep is catching on, or the dog is telling it what to do.
"There’s nothing cuter than old folks learning to use technology" is extremely offensive.
My dad's recent discovery of emojis, and the consequent onslaught of emoji-filled texts i receive from him, is cute. I know, it's all the rage to be offended by everything, but pick your battles
I think he's cute...is he married? ;-) I am a she farmer too....only in the US...just had a leg o lamb for lunch!!! I don't think he is old...I wish people wouldn't judge how 'old' we 'seniors' are as they talk like 50' and 60's are ancient...not anymore!!!
Bored Panda: This is so insulting to "old" people. First, the guy isn't all that old. Second, there are plenty of "old" people who keep up with technology just fine. Stop perpetuating this stereotype of old, cute, and clueless.
