First, we have this doggo staring at a modern-day record player. Would this classify as a hipster dog? Asking for a friend!

What a cute looking coyote! Don’t know if we should try to impale him or hug him.

Not quite Monet but definitely donet.

The resemblance is uncanny.

We would trust that horse to charge us into battle.

Feeling 135% blessed after seeing that picture, thank you very much!

Adam, is that you?

Did someone say pop-art?
