You're having a good time with your friends. You want to remember this happy moment, so you get everyone in one place to take a photo. The shot looks good on your phone, so you put it back into your pocket. A few days later, however, you open the image on your computer, trying to decide on which social media platform you want to upload it first, but the bigger screen reveals a problem. That one friend -- the one who ruins all of your group pictures -- did it again. You laugh it off but make a note to kill him.
However, would it comfort you if I said that dogs experience the same problem? Take this gang for example. When Kikko, Sasha, and Momo are posing for their owner Yoko, Hina always finds a way to sabotage it. Like my friend Luke, Hina probably calls it 'breaking the tension' but we all know it's a rebellion!

When you’re taking a picture with your friends and suddenly see your crush *commence melty face*

All dog owners know how hard it can be to take a pic of your pup. But pet photographer Mark Rogers said it's possible.
You should start by letting your dog get used to the camera. "The click and flash of a camera can rattle dogs at first," Rogers told Dog Time. "Let your dog give the camera a good sniff, then start casually shooting the surroundings." If you use a film camera, you can do this before you load the film. Begin taking pictures of your dog only after it gets comfortable around the camera and starts doing their own thing.
"The idea is to keep things natural and relaxed," Rogers explained. "What not to do: grab a ton of treats, abruptly shove the camera in your dog's face, and repeat, 'Mommy's gonna take your picture!' at a high pitch."
As with most photography genres, take lots of pictures. The more shots you take, the better your chances of capturing something awesome.
Also, turn off the flash when you can. "Most amateur photographers do best with warm, natural sunlight. To avoid washed-out pictures, shoot in the mornings or evenings, on slightly overcast days, or in the shade on a bright day."
The two on the ends are sitting like bookends. We know who the deep would be if Hina wasn’t there. (wink, wink)
...derp; I typed derp. Sneaky spellcheck did it again.

Load More Replies...Get to your dog's level. "If you stand over your dog and look down, every shot you take is going to look like everyone else's," Rogers added. Take a knee, sit, crouch, lie on your belly, do whatever you have to do to get eye-to-eye with your dog.
Pay attention to the background. Something simple, like a white sandy beach or green trees, make your dog stand out in the picture. Also, mind the colors; no black backgrounds for black dogs, brown backgrounds for brown dogs, and so on.
Of course, these tips might not help if your doggo is consciously refusing to get their photo taken. But not every pup is like Hina!
Raurr see my teeth, I want you to share with the rest of the Dougs i mean business
Was logging on to say the same thing! I am surprised non of them are side eying him. Poor dog standing next to him knows he is the closest.
Load More Replies...1. their eyes are huge and frikin adorable 2. AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Sometimes Momo and the other black one sit like this too... Hina sits like this all the time.
Load More Replies...as he blinked, he felt the world was in slow motion for a bit...then the sound of a * flash * came, along with his brothers "NOOOOO" as he ruined yet another photo again.
I think Hina’s unique character makes these photos better.
Load More Replies...If I shut my eyes hard enough, I become invisible and no one can see me! Right, Mom?
He wanted to be the front-man and them the backing group - but then he got bored.
Somehow I'm getting the impression that the white dog never knows what is going on...
Don't tell me to close my mouth! I do what I want - non -conformist.
I don't know how he does it, but he has ricks, up his sleeve, or paw !!!
What is this every cliche romance movie? I don’t need to look into the sunset I’m AlReAdY sExY
This would be me in a group picture with my three beautiful friends...
He seems able, to do things with his ears, changes direction often !!!
He's pointing with his tongue-- he's trying to send a subtle message about the two dogs on the right. What the message is, I have no idea.
This is rather good, he convinced the other one, to lay down !!!
white shiba:ummmm why are you facing that way? Were supposed to look at the guy in the shower Brown shiba:ur facing the wrong way White shiba:shut up he's eating pancakes in the shower I gotta see this
The star doggo,, needs to go on a diet, side shot , shows it !!!
So I read that and yawned. Good thing there's no-one here with a camera.
Load More Replies...That boy is incredible, he must steal the show, he is a hoot !!!
shiney ball/ squirrel / rabbit / bird ... whatever. It’s more fun than posing. Why do we never get to do action poses?
Load More Replies...He never, disappoints in each shot, this boy is part human !!!
Are you against round Shiba butts? If Corgies can have them, why can’t Shibas?
Load More Replies...YaDa HeE yAdA hOo YaDa HuU yAdA hAa YOdOlA heE hOo
Load More Replies...This boy, is not the average dog, impossible to think otherwise !!!
The other 3 "Ooh...what's that?" Hina "*horkurgle* I swallowed a bug!"
Other dogs: you might want to work on those high notes...
Hina is like that one person who sees something really interesting and then leads everyone to go and see it but since they already saw it they just let everybody crowd forward to look at it.
that's not Momo Momo is the one on the farthest left.
Load More Replies...Seems to be that way quite often, especially during photo shoots.
Load More Replies...White shiba: I don't know about you guys but mom's special brownie was waaaaay better than our dog biscuits. I *laughs* don't even know *laughs* where we are right now. Other Shibas: (this guy...I can't)
It better have been a blonde brownie. Chocolate isn’t good for dogs.
Load More Replies...I farted...wait for it, it'll hit them in a second, this'll be so funny.
Black Dog to White Dog - You are doing the absolute most!
These pups are gorgeous and so adorable. All little girls, I think? Anyway, love that they are so friendly and sweet and so funny. What a bunch of cuties!
Yeah from Facebook : All four were born in Japan, and moved to Hong Kong when they were 2-3 months old. Kikko - Red Shiba♀ - BD: 8 Oct. 2012 Sasha - Black Shiba♀ - BD: 14 Apr. 2014 Momo - Black Shiba♀ - BD: 15 May 2015 Hina - White Shiba♀ - BD: 14 Aug 2015 Kikko & Sasha's father is the same black shiba, so they are real sisters. Momo & Hina's father is Kikko & Sasha's little brother = their niece
Load More Replies...I would not say 'Ruined' the pictures. Just being different, why be like everyone else. Love it.
What are we in line for? It must be something good, dontcha think? Oh boy!
Black shibas: I love u! Red shiba: we done yet? Im kinda squished... White shiba: GUYS WE DONE YET IM HUNGRY!?
look!!! I can touch my nose with my tongue!! look look!!! do I get treat?
This dog isn't marching to the beat of his own drum, this guy has an orchestra.
This dog is not ruining anything! I love dogs but I would not have looked through, and enjoyed, 30 pictures of the same 4 dogs that aren't mine if it wasn't for Hina.
Hina is just marvelous. I hope you will not consider these photos ruined any longer. They have gone from simply “nice photos of family pets”, to “priceless show pieces of treasured memories”. Thank you for sharing these treasures with us. I’m sure each of your beloved dogs has a great personality; but we all will remember Hina forever.
I loved the dogs and it really made my day better. The fires are all anyone is concerned with here in CA and just seeing these happy dogs has made things better.
So sorry you have to deal with this experience in CA.
