However, the animals themselves probably won't be able to fully enjoy these photos.

Take dogs for example. They see their owners all the time in photographs. They even recognize their owner's faces. And while dogs are not able to fully understand photographs, and can't recognize things in all photographs, they are still more advanced than any other animal at facial recognition.

Pooches can respond to a number of gestures, such as pointing. In fact, they can do this better than chimpanzees. To put things into perspective, full-grown dogs are said to have the intellectual capabilities of a 3-year-old human, and toddlers can begin retrieving objects based on photographs. 

Research has shown that dogs can use photographs to gain information. Let's say there's a photo of a ball. The dog will likely be able to recognize that photo if it is in another room. Even though dogs certainly don't understand all pictures, they recognize items that are familiar to them.

So if you're enjoying these pics, feel free to share the article with your friends and family. If you show it to your pet, however, chances are they will just sniff the screen and move on with their day. Sorry.
