Videos Of Owner Showing Dogs A Photo And Them ‘Recreating It’ Go Viral
Interview With Author
While most of us have tried our luck at teaching our beloved furry friends to “stand up” and “sit down” when asked, at some point, we probably gave up. I blamed biscuit treats that didn’t spark excitement, you blamed the moon which was not on your side, but the truth is, not every doggo is born to be trained.
So let’s take a look at the pros in the canine obedience league. The trio of Mojo, Rana, and Mateo from Cologne, Germany has become a real internet sensation after their parents Vanessa and Rafael shared this adorable video on Tiktok. It appears that the dogs create a pose that Vanessa shows them in photos on her phone screen.
The final result looks so amazing that naturally, more critical viewers started questioning the video. Even if the trio simply responds to a command and it’s simply the editing, seeing them hugging and resting their paws against each other is enough to make us fall for it. Plus, 10.2 million viewers clearly approve of their photogenic looks.

It turns out, Mojo, Rana, and Mateo are no rookies when it comes to social media stardom. The pawsome trio are on “a mission to steal your heart,” and by looking at their 309.1k TikTok and 85.2k Instagram followers, all I can say is, it’s defo working.
To find out more about the four-legged trio behind the viral TikTok video, Bored Panda reached out to their parents Vanessa and Rafael. The dog owners said they always practice tricks at random throughout the day. “This way, the dogs do not have stress and do not have to practice too often. Of course, all three of them always get a ‘delicious reward.’”
Mojo, Rana, and Mateo’s posing skills have won the hearts of social media and we can totally see why

Vanessa and Rafael described Maja, Mateo, and Rana as “super bright dogs.” “You don’t look for a second and all three are playing together. It’s just super nice that the three have become a dyed-in-the-wool trio,” they said.
Having said that, the dog parents added that every dog has their own character. Rana, for example, is the bright and the daring one in the pack. “She is full of energy and can run 100 km.”

Meanwhile, Mojo is best described as the little intelligent dog who loves cuddles. “You show him a trick and within a short time, he can do it perfectly.”Mateo is the youngest in the pack and thus, his life is all about games and fun. “Not a second goes by where he does not even want to play.”
But as soon as Mateo falls asleep, “you won’t be able to wake him up either,” Vanessa said and added: “He’s just like Rafael.”

After the trio’s TikTok video went viral, Vanessa and Rafael couldn’t believe it. “So many people have seen in a short time how well our three little ones get along.”
The trio’s parents said that all the critics who think the dogs are having a bad life should take time and join the family in their Instagram stories, where they’ll see that “we love our dogs more than anything else.”
The doggos are on a mission to steal your heart, and they already have mine

FIRST, the dogs were posing as they were told to, having learned the commands, then the photo was taken and subsequently "shown" to the dogs, and AFTER that, the video was edited to change the sequence of events. Just because we saw it on social media does not make it true. We don't believe that Superman is real, do we? It is very cleverly done and thoroughly enjoyable to watch.
Amazing skills. And there they say dogs aren't self aware, which means they can't recognize themselves in the mirror/ photos etc. Or maybe they didn't recognize themselves on the screen, but learned to pose exactly like that. who knows, the are amazing anways :).
Sorry, Happy_Pandalover, but you've been happily fooled. ;-)

I don't like all this making dogs pose to get attention on social media.
My cats recreate poses like that all day long every day. But it's always sleeping poses.
You should be green with envy of the dogs' owner's relationship of love and trust with their dogs, and also of their fabulous amounts of patience. There are hours upon hours of encouraging accidental behaviour during play to teach dogs to interact with each other on command like this. The one and only thing a dog will learn by punishment is to become aggressive.
