Everyone believes their pet is the cutest all the time, but the people who sent these photos disagree. Nah, just kidding.

These proud owners believe their pets are beautiful even when they look like this in photos.

Anyone who owns a pet or knows someone who owns a pet understands how proud their owners are of their furry friends. They want to share their pet with the world, whether it's by putting their phone in your face and asking, "Aren't they so cute?!?" or by more subtly changing their background screen to a lovely photo of their critter.

However, some pets are simply not the camera's favorites. But we don't care because they are our favorites.

Are we right?

These dogs may be unflattering, but they are unforgettable.

Want more “my pet stole the spotlight” energy, see how these pets photobombed their owners so perfectly. Read the photobomb story.
