Whether they're jumping through open car windows at top speed or inspiring us with their pioneering spirit, dogs are basically the gift that keeps on giving.

Every now and then, though, it's their owners that deserve the praise.

On Sunday, Kendal Peifer shared some photos of her dad's genius method for clipping their dog's toenails.

The harness. The adapted purse. The head-torch. The guy definitely deserves a big ol' A+ for effort.

At the time of writing, that tweet has been shared over 76,000 times.

People clearly couldn't get enough of the dad's technique.

The winning response has to go to this person, though.

Nice.
