Choosing to have children is one of the most important, personal decisions a human can make. So, naturally, it's one of the decisions people love to be nosy about.

Tired of being asked when she and her husband would have kids, one woman, Imgur user marlboroprincess, decided to respond with a prank. She posted a few "pregnancy" pics featuring a mysterious bump later revealed to be the couple's puppy, Leelu.

"Close enough, right?" she wrote in the caption.

Since it was posted, the clever photo set has received over a thousand comments -- many of them empathetic.

"My baby was less than a week old when people started bugging us about having a second child," one commenter wrote.

And since this is the internet, a few people just can't get over how adorable Leelu the dog is.

"That is the cutest newborn I have ever seen," one person said.

Congratulations to the happy couple.
