Guy Thinks His Wife Is Announcing Her Pregnancy, Gets Surprise Of A Lifetime
Coming up with an adorable way to let the everyone know you’re expecting is part one. Part two is announcing the arrival of the new family member. And it’s hard to imagine a better gender reveal photo shoot than the one Carlye Allen threw her friend Joy Stone.
“Joy and her husband Brady had been searching for a rescue puppy for quite some time,” Allen told Bored Panda. “However, they couldn’t find the perfect fit for their little family.”
“One of my Facebook friends, Gracie Gonzalez, has a heart of gold,” the photographer said. “Gracie found the puppy and her four other siblings next to a railroad track. She posted a picture on her Facebook profile, and I forwarded it to my friend. It was love at first sight. Joy knew that she wanted to give the puppy a new home, but decided to keep it a secret from her husband. I drove two hours to pick up the puppy, and Joy drove hours to meet me.” The doggo was named “Rey” after the Star Wars character. The photos caught Brady completely off guard but once the emotions settled, he was delighted that Rey joined him and Joy.
“Joy and I are notorious for doing silly things together. I half-jokingly threw out the idea of having a puppy reveal photo shoot. Without hesitation, she replied with a “Dude, let’s do it.” Next thing I knew, we were in my yard trying to convince a five-pound fluffball to stay in a metal tub.”
Many photographers struggle working with animals, but for Allen it was a fun adventure. “The photoshoot wasn’t hard at all. In fact, it only took about 15 minutes,” she said. “The emotion captured between the puppy and Joy was not prompted. Joy was excited to have a new companion, and the puppy was excited to have a new mom.” The Texas-based artist even “employed” her husband! “His job was to place the puppy back in the tub whenever she jumped out. But even that wasn’t too bad. We maybe spent two or three minutes on that shot.”
“I’m a new photographer. I’ve only been doing this for about four months. While I still have SO much more to learn, one thing that I discovered early on is to close my mouth, sit back, and snap candid emotional moments. That’s what this was.”
After the photo shoot unexpectedly went viral, Carlye and Joy decided to make the most of it. “There are millions of other animals like Rey in need of food, shelter, and a loving home. We’ve partnered with a local shelter, and will be hosting “Doggie and Me” mini sessions in June. The sessions will be donation-based, and all proceeds will benefit the shelter. We want to encourage other photographers to do the same in their areas. We can make a big difference in these animals’ lives.”

People were quick to react to the heartwarming story
Why are people getting agitated over the fact that it's a photo shoot for a puppy? If this makes them happy, and they think it's worth it, then it is worth it. Who are you to judge what is a worthwhile occasion?? And with digital cameras so accessible these days, people are free to do whatever they please.
Attention-seeking trolls and/or people who didn't bother reading the whole article. But seriously,I have no idea why/how people can get so worked up over something like this. People just have a real ego problem.
Load More Replies...That's it. Next dog I adopt, I am going to do one of these. My parents are disappointed because I never wanted kids--and never changed my mind, so this would be the perfect way to announce their next "grandchild."
I don't think to have kids either. I would get more dogs, just like you, however I won't be doing such photoshoots. I'm a no nonsense person and these photoshoots are so common lately, I was sure it would be a puppy before I even read further. If I'm to do something special to welcome a puppy(which I wouldn't, she would be a baby that wouldn't understand what's going on anyway), it would be something new and original, not something that floods the internet already. But it's my personal opinion. If you really want to do it, go on.

"Guy thinks wife is pregnant..".. Wife pulls out a puppy.. JK! Him..: "well,that was f*****g close.."
So many here missed the best part of the article: the photographer is having a "Doggie and me" photoshoot to raise money for an animal shelter. The woman in the photo has challenged other photographers to do the same. In this case, it was much more than a silly photoshoot. It could potentially raise thousands to aid shelters.
I've been searching for a puppy myself for the last 3 months and have had little luck.
Puppies always get adopted. People need to adopt older dogs. Please
Load More Replies...This hits me in the feels, my dog passed away last Wednesday after 13.5 years, many have suggested rescuing a dog when I am ready for one. I hope when that happens it is as adorable as these. I really miss my boy now though too.... :(
I'm sure he was really wonderful. I'm very sorry for your loss.

I am in love with this puppy! I have to admit, Goldies are my favorite breed of dogs as they are just so loveable. I want to hold them and squeeze them and call him George! *L*
My smile for the day, simple pleasures of life. Excellent photo shoot
So I knew what was coming, I loved to see the adorable puppy and a rescue as well.
To me that photoshoot is importnant not because the pup is cute, or the lady, or the photos themselves. It points out it's a rescue dog, and that there are more waiting to find a loving home. If this message, thanks to cuteness gets to a single person and they adopt a rescue dog, then it's worth it.
While i like the idea of giving an abandoned puppy a home.. why not adopt an adult dog/cat as well? They need homes and love too.. otherwise they just get euthanized the same as death row inmate.. difference is that the animal did nothing but get abandoned.
It's aaaaa baby animal/dog stolen from her parent dogs to entertain two people at the top of the foodchain! That's so sweet. I love it. ^_^
I'm glad this puppy was adopted but don't say they were "searching for the right dog" they wanted a puppy...
They don't. That's why the balloons are golden. Cuz it's a golden retriever.
Load More Replies...Wait what happened to it's 4 siblings O.o Did she just leave them next to the railroad/ not adopt them
They wanted a puppy. She surprised him with a puppy. And the photo shoot she was doing is part of a partnership they have woth the shepter where all proceeds go to the shelter.
Load More Replies...You're right. How dare those inconsiderate a******s turn a fun idea into a fund raiser for an animal shelter. It's just so stupid. 🖕
Load More Replies...Right...with all the people who have children that abuse and neglect them, these are the two people...who are doing this to raise money for a shelter, by the way, shouldn't have children. Right on.
