Most of us can't even get our dogs to sit still for a photo (or a shameless selfie) that doesn't end up a blurred mass of fur and slobber. Definitely not an image worthy of their true beauty, or one that allows us to show them off to our dog-loving friends*.

*note from the author of this article: all friends should be dog-loving friends, otherwise you should honestly just set them free.

This isn't so for photographer Serena Hodson, who brought us the joy of DOGSERVATIONS and has now uncovered our puppers' best angle: UPSIDE-DOWN.

1. Harry the Lhasa Apso

Look at this glorious angel. We all wish we had Harry's locks!

2. Josie the Cavoodle and Spook the Labradoodle

LITERAL TEDDY BEARS, I tells ya!

3. Katee and Ruby, The Pugs

Didn't pugs like, INVENT upside-down? These two girls nailed it.

4. Oakey the Corgi
In a GRReat posture, worthy of any queen.

5. Peaches the Pomeranian with Luigi the Chihuahua

These two, oh my heart. "THIS LOVE IS REAL".

6. Scream the Border Collie

I scream, you scream, we all scream for Scream <3 

7. Shyla the Labrador

Photograph me like one of your french girls . . . 

8. Simon the British Bulldog

Ten times cuter than me on the beach to be completely honest.

9. Tempest, Geoge, Jolie and Twix, The British Bulldogs

Real life photographs of the Hachette staff, after comforting-eating away our feelings at not having one of these office-pooches.

For over 100 more pages of this heart-stopping photography, be sure to look for Upside-Down Dogs in all good bookstores.
