Photographer photoshops his Goldendoodle into a giant

Juji came into Christopher’s life at a tough time. Christopher had just moved away and was feeling very homesick. His work was beginning to suffer.

"Dad…I can appreciate your love of this place…but my back is getting wet and I'm about to snap! Let's go sit by the fire."…..Hiking at Minneopa Falls with the Juji. My need to take a walk and capture pictures is about to be downgraded to making 'smores. Which is not all bad. #rebels_h #barkbox #Bestdog #worldofcutepets #chrisandjuji #goldendoodles #dogsofinstagram #goldendoodlesofinstagram #weeklyfluff #rsa_graphics  #ig_underground #shotaward #dogsofinstaworld #dogsandpals #dogscorner #igbest_dogs  #excellent_dogs #dog #puppiesofinstagram #bestwoof #dailydoseopuppies #hiking #arts_help #petscorner #animaladdicts #mydogiscutest #petsofinstagram #artofedina_enjoyyourparks #hikingwithdogs #campingwithdogs

Originally Christopher wasn’t too keen on the idea of getting a dog, but he and Juji were instant friends.

"SHHHHHH! HUSH, DAD! THE CUTE DOGS ARE ON TV!"… This morning the puppy and I watched the Westminster dog show. Everything was going fine until the terriers came on TV, at which point I'm fairly positive Juji went through puberty at an accelerated rate. He has a thing for terriers half his size. But then again, most dogs are half his size. #barkbox #Bestdog #worldofcutepets #chrisandjuji #goldendoodles #dogsofinstagram #goldendoodlesofinstagram #weeklyfluff #rsa_graphics  #ig_underground #shotaward #dogsofinstaworld #dogsandpals #dogscorner #igbest_dogs  #excellent_dogs #dog #puppiesofinstagram #bestwoof #dailydoseopuppies #instadog #petscorner #animaladdicts #mydogiscutest #petsofinstagram #exklusive_shot #westminsterdogshow #jj_forum_1593

Soon they were having adventures, and Christopher’s inspiration returned. He had a new muse – Juji!

"See Juji… I can skip just as high as you. SO STOP TRYIN' TO SHOW ME UP!!!"…. This morning we took advantage of mild weather and dense fog to get outside and take some great pictures. And who says skipping is just for summer time. #barkbox #Bestdog #worldofcutepets #chrisandjuji #goldendoodles #dogsofinstagram #goldendoodlesofinstagram #weeklyfluff #rsa_graphics #gotd_1061 #shotaward #dogsofinstaworld #dogsandpals #dogscorner #igbest_dogs  #excellent_dogs #dog #puppiesofinstagram #bestwoof #dailydoseopuppies #instadog  @dogsandpals #twincitieslive #animaladdicts #mydogiscutest #jj_forum_1475 #exklusive_shot #hikingwithdogs #artofedina_enjoyyourparks

After all, doesn’t everyone dream of having a giant dog?

"… You see, Juji, there comes a time in every young boys life…." There's a little girl dog down the street that Juji has takin a liking to. And so comes 'the talk'. #barkbox #Bestdog #clinesworld #chrisandjuji #goldendoodles #dogsofinstagram #goldendoodlesofinstagram   #weeklyfluff #rsa_graphics #ig_underground #shotaward #dogsofinstaworld #dogsandpals #dogscorner #igbest_dogs  #excellent_dogs #dog #puppiesofinstagram #bestwoof #dailydoseopuppies #instadog  @dogsandpals #petscorner #animaladdicts #mydogiscutest #petsofinstagram #exklusive_shot #hikingwithdogs #campingwithdogs

This, for the record, is Juji’s actual size!

"Please put me down, Dad. I got feet to sniff"…. Last week we had the pleasure of spending the day with nearly 200 of Minnesotas coolest photographers at the #minnstameets_holidayparty2016. On site was photographer @ericmueller who captured this photo of Juji and I. No Photoshop here…just 100 pounds of hair and love. Thanks Eric. #barkbox #Bestdog #worldofcutepets #chrisandjuji #goldendoodles #dogsofinstagram #goldendoodlesofinstagram #weeklyfluff #rsa_graphics #shotaward #dogsofinstaworld #dogsandpals #dogscorner #igbest_dogs  #excellent_dogs #dog #puppiesofinstagram #bestwoof #dailydoseopuppies #instadog  @dogsandpals #petscorner #animaladdicts #mydogiscutest #petsofinstagram #exklusive_shot #hikingwithdogs #campingwithdogs
