German photographer Christian Vieler has suddenly become an internet sensation after he posted his comical images that show a dog’s face just before they catch a treat (or, in some cases, miss the treat). Vieler, 45, has been taking photos of pups since 2012 – not that long for such amazing talent to develop.
Why dogs?
“I started taking pictures with some ambitions in 2012,” he told iHeartDogs.com. “I didn’t want to bore my friends with my poor skills, so I started shooting dogs. They never complained about my photos, and enjoyed the treats.”
This recent series came about by accident, when he was taking a test picture for a shoot, he added. His dog, the test subject, is a 10-year-old Labrador named Lotte.

“She is my heart and my everything, but I bet that is what nearly every dog owner says,” he told iHeartDogs.com.
He even throws her birthday parties, lucky dog!

After that first funny picture, he invited every client to get a shot of their dog catching a treat and it just took off.
