If you've ever tried to take a picture of your furry friend, you know how much of a struggle this usually turns out to be.
Dogs are naturally restless, curious creatures, so sitting still for anything besides a treat isn't usually something they have much interest in doing.
Personally, I've found the only way to ensure a blur-free snap of my precious pooch is to either keep a cookie right behind the camera lens for him to focus on, or to catch him while he's feeling a little less energetic and can manage to sit for minute.
