We all know what humans like to take pictures of—friends, food, sunsets—but what would happen if you gave a dog a camera? It turns out, mostly the same thing.

They unleashed Grizzler into the world to see what pictures he would take. Here are the wonderful results, which show that Grizzler was excited by things like crabs, cats, pigeons, his food dish, and other dogs:
