Redditor's attempt to take photo with her dog goes wonderfully wrong

Remember cat beards? They're back, in dog form.

Nine times out of 10, any attempt to take a photo with a canine companion will end in nothing but a blurry mess.

But every once in a while, you strike gold.

"Attempted to take a cute picture of me and my dog," wrote 33-year-old Reddit user Casey. "This was the result."

Behold, photo perfection:

That photo has gone viral in the r/funny subreddit, where it currently has over 32,000 upvotes. It's beautifully reminiscent of an old viral trend known as cat bearding, which was popular back in 2013.

In case you were wondering, the dog in that picture is a miniature dachshund. His name is Bosco, but he also goes by Beans. And he takes a wonderful, wonderful photo.

As Casey wrote in the comments, that's the holiday cards sorted.
