For this week's Mashable Photo Challenge Guest Series, we want you to show us your animal's human side. Does your little pup sneeze like a grown man? Do you ever find your cat sleeping with her head on your pillow? Capture these candid moments of your animal, or try posing him or her in a creative way. Don't have a pet? Share a photo of a different furry friend.
"Use treats when posing your animals," says our guest curator, Menswear Dog. "Little goodies help keep us engaged and keeps the process fun. Peanut butter is actually an old-school Hollywood trick to get animals to look like they're talking."
Tumblr-famous Menswear Dog is a stylish, 4-year-old Shiba Inu dog from New York. He makes posing for the camera look effortless in his Ralph Lauren tees, denim jackets and other dapper clothing.
Follow the directions below to submit your photo, and Menswear Dog will select some of his favorite photos to feature on Mashable.
