"Heartography" is a type of photography that automatically snaps pictures based on biological signals indicating happiness, so of course, dogs, being the purest vessels of joy on the planet, are the ideal candidates to test out the technology.

Nikon created a 3D-printed camera strap and case that activates when the photographer is happy. According to their website, the elastic strap monitors your heart and once it spikes, a bluetooth symbol is sent to the camera and snaps a photo.

Grizzler, the pho-dog-grapher who has been pioneering heartography, isn't quite Diane Arf-bus or Richard Ave-dog yet -- the snaps are a little blurry -- but maybe we just don't get his art. Grizzler should try going through a mirror selfie phase like many great photographers before him have.

Meanwhile, you can also strap the camera around your neck if you want it to take a picture whenever you're filled with happiness at the sight of your dog.
