Ron Schmidt is the person behind the company Loose Leashes , an online shop where he sells funny prints of our furry friends in wonderfully witty scenarios.

"It was a fun, conceptual image that was a big hit with everyone who saw it. Since I love dogs and photography, this worked out really well.” Via
