CEBU CITY, Philippines— Dogs are considered as man’s best friend. They also help us protect our homes from intruders.
But little did we know that dogs can become good models too!
Netizen Robert Dano shared on his social media account about his recent encounter with a stray dog who gamely posed for him.
“The photos were taken last September 24 in Barangay Patong, Badian, Cebu during our visit in the place when we had our Family Development Session. While waiting for the other attendees, we went up to the water tank and decided to relax and enjoy the view. Then suddenly the dog came,” he said.

Dano, who is a photography enthusiast, decided to grab this unique opportunity to use man’s best friend as the subject of his photo shoot. He quickly took out his phone and started to take photos of the dog.
“I call the dog sometimes to look at the camera and to my surprise, the dog was very responsive. It’s as if the dog knows that she was my model and the shots turned out really good,” added the Bohol province native.
