A photo of a weird dog captured in an awkward moment stole the internet's heart, then Redditors quickly Photoshopped the crap out of it.

It all started when Redditor zzzman82 posted a photo to r/Funny, claiming that one of their Facebook friends posted a photo of the dog in hopes of getting it adopted. "I think he chose the perfect photo," zzzman82 wrote.

Reddit fell in love with the little weirdo, so as a show of their newfound affection, they did what they always do and Photoshopped the dog into some hilarious situations.

Clearly this dog is a lifesaver.
