Dog kisses, some love ‘em, some… not so much. We say all things in moderation, except when it comes to simply adorable pictures of pups.
Photographer Ty Foster is surely someone with a penchant for pics of pups mid-lick. He started photographing dogs with their tongues out a few years ago and has since released books of his shots, the most recent called LICK Puppies .
Wondering what his secret to the tongues-out shot success? Ty gives each pup a small taste of organic peanut butter, which apparently sends them into lick-overdrive!
We asked Ty to tell us what the best thing about having pups in his studio, he commented, “puppies are easier than full grown dogs. Full grown dogs have already established what they don’t like and what they like; environments they are comfortable in, what food they like. To puppies, everything is brand new, everything is a new experience for them. Most have no concept of what peanut butter is, so when you give them some, they’re in heaven. It’s a pretty hilarious experience!”
We sure are enjoying the results, Ty! The shots above are taken from his book LICK Puppies, which, by the way, we think would make an awesome gift for any dog lover. (Or you know, your favourite doggy blogger, whatever takes your fancy *nudge*.)
