No, giant dogs have not invaded earth. These photos of enormous pooches create the illusion of great size through the intentional or accidental use of mixed distances without clear reference points.

Hippolyte Bayard, a pioneer of photography who claimed to have invented photography earlier than Daguerre, was one of the first to stage a shot. His “Self Portrait As A Drowned Man” was a reaction to not being recognized as the first photographer.

The dog is simply too close to the camera for its shadow to show on the picture, I guess it would have been right under the frame level. No photoshop needed here.

Pug! I love how pugs sit! Every pug I've ever lived with, every pug I've ever known, they all sit like this. I just can't get enough of this photo! I love everything about it! Bravo!

my favorite. Men and beast understand the world and support each other.

Um, we barely understand the world we live in. The science our top minds know is still scratching the surface in the grand scheme of how the universe works! And to claim man and beast 'support each other' is absolutely ludicrous; as an WWF supporter I can tell you one thing for certain: Man does NOT support beast in third world countries, where innocent animals are being killed to make medicine or for poaching. SOME people support beast, and many beast support man, but this is not a given fact; the vast majority do not.

That is very creative. Now that I read the comments, I can easily tell they are action figures, but they are so well-positioned, I didn't catch the ruse. Bravo! Wonderful, sweet dog for being such a team player.

This is just a dog with toys. There is no forced perspective or illusion due to a lack of reference points.
