Series of Adorable Portraits Featuring Dogs Lying Upside Down Is Sure to Put a Smile on Your Face
Few things are more instantly charming than a dog sprawled upside down, paws in the air and ears flopped every which way. Photographer Serenah Hodson turned that goofy pose into a full project with The Upside of Dogs, and the result is a parade of portraits that feel equal parts playful and sweet.
The idea came from Hodson’s own bulldog, who loves sleeping this way, and the rest of the dogs in the series make a strong case that the pose is universally adorable. From tiny pups to big family groups, each portrait captures a relaxed moment that looks ready for a belly rub.
These upside-down dogs are hard to scroll past without smiling, and the best part is how different each one looks while striking the same silly pose. Read on.
