We might love our four-legged canine pals more than some of our human friends, but we can’t expect them to be as graceful as cats in front of the camera. Combine the stoic derpiness of some dogs with some rough (or is that 'ruff'?) camera angles from amateur photographers sneaking after the four-legged animals and you get the formula for awkward humor.

That’s where the ‘Dogs Poorly Photographed’ Instagram page comes into play. It’s a great social media project that documents “poorly framed” photos of dogs. They have a certain amount of je ne sais quoi that’s really appealing. We like to think off-angle shaky pics capture the unseen side of canine life. A side where dogs are more than just their owners' companions. And, let’s be frank, when we come across a dog outside, we sometimes can’t resist taking a quick snap to show everyone we know. The result might be low quality, but it’s authentic.

If you needed an excuse to look at silly dog pics on your coffee break, this is the sign you were looking for, Pandas. Scroll down to add a bit more happiness to your lives and remember to give each good boy and girl a scratch behind their ears (the upvote button next to each pic does that). Got any badly-done-but-adorable pet pics to share with the crowd? You can do that in the comments.

Bored Panda reached out to the founder of 'Dogs Poorly Photographed,' and they were kind enough to tell us about the project and its success. Read on for the full interview, dear Pandas.

    With the right amount of treats, this dog could show you the milkman who has been taking your child to football practice for the past 5 years.

    The way the shadows are, it looks like the dog has their right hand grasping the door handle. Like they have an opposable thumb on that paw.

    They made a law in NYC that dogs could only go in the subway "in a carrier" - so lots of people made bags like this. Ikea bags were especially popular

    I do this with my pets. If they’re sitting or laying down close, but not right up against me (like when it’s too hot to do that), I’ll stretch out my arm and rest my hand on a paw or leg, or lay it down under their chin so they can use it as a pillow. Just to let them know I’m right here if they need me.
