Freelance photographer Kieran Murray rounded up his photos for the past 4 years and decided to add toy Godzilla into them to make it seem like they are exploring the world together. Why? Because he was bored : "I travel with a 6-inch plastic figurine that I Photoshop to look Godzilla Sized. His name is Ryan and we get into all sorts of Shenanigans together."

You might recall from a few weeks ago, the story we covered of the pregnant two-year-old Dachshund named Sugar. Sugar had a gorgeous maternity shoot that was captured by the talented Laura Shockley.
Well, as one would hopefully expect with any pregnancy... the puppies have arrived! And they're so deliciously cute, we want to gobble up all those mini-sugar pups!
And to celebrate the occasion, Laura Shockley once again photographed the new family and just a warning, there will be definite squeals -- out loud and in your heart.
Prepare yourself for some serious cuteness!

Photographer Alexandra Bochkareva likes to explore the eye-catching beauty of red hair. In order to do so, she often pairs her redheaded muses with ginger animals, ranging from a rescued lynx to majestic Maine Coon cats. Each duo in these fairytale photographs has been personally paired by Bochkareva, who strives for matches that are "very similar, both in an external and internal way." Check out her Instagram page.
What could be better than someone taking care of your beloved cat while you're away? Getting professional photos of your beloved cat! When Miranda McDonald asked her friend Josell Mariano to take care of her blue tabby cat Jade, he went above and beyond with an impromptu photo shoot of the beautiful Jade!
According to Best Ten News, Mariano explained how he captured the magic below, "I used a 6Dmk2 with an f/2.8 24-70LII, and an f/1.4 50mm. Lighting is an Einstein strobe with a 24-inch beauty dish." But it also helps when your model is so darn photogenic! Mariano said, "Jade was a better model than I thought but was still super wiggly. She was distracted by treats and her favorite toy (which is a broken string on a stick)."
Sounds like the perfect cat sitter to us! These are almost as good as kitten memes, but nah, nothing beats those.
This photo was recently posted by Saurabh Desai, a wildlife photographer. It was captured in the Spiti Valley of Northern India and once posted, it confused many internet users. At first glance, it appears to be a simple landscape shot but Desai was actually snapped a snow leopard in this photo, a big cat whose perfectly camouflaged coat makes him blend into his landscape to a breathtaking degree. Can you spot him? Via: Paws Planet

During a trip to Kenya, Will Burrard-Lucas (@willbl) captured several photos of a wild melanistic black leopard, also known as a black panther. The images are believed to be the first of their kind taken in Africa in 100 years.
The person who took these fantastic pictures is Jess Bell and they're magical since they capture each and every dog's personality through the beautiful colors.
From his website: "I recently organized some of my very talented dog-owning friends (and their exceptional pups of course) to participate in colored powder photo shoots in order to experiment with a new technique I wanted to try out. The results are bright, crisp and dynamic! These photos are turning heads all over the internet. These crazy colors and dynamic swirls are captured in-camera in real time and on location. As a result, every single image is unique and highlights the amazing differences between how dogs of various breeds and body shapes move. The powder acts as a perfect action amplification device".
