Every dog owner knows the struggle: camera ready, perfect smile, and at the last second the dog looks the other way. One man got tired of ruined photos and found the simplest solution in the world.
He stuck a piece of pepperoni right on the back of his phone, above the camera. The result was immediate: his two dogs fixed their gaze on it and didn’t look away for even a second. They didn’t even blink. The photo came out perfect on the first try, with their eyes fixed and ears perked up, as if they were posing for a professional photo shoot.
He shared the image on social media without much expectation, but the ingenuity of the trick did the rest. Thousands of people with dogs at home instantly recognized the problem and are already thinking of trying it with their own stash of cold cuts. Sometimes the solution to a years-old problem requires nothing more than a piece of deli meat and some adhesive tape.
