A little boy named Rhett recently got a camera and couldn’t wait to use it. His parents encouraged him to take pictures of some of his favorite things, and what he captured is absolutely priceless.
The true stars of the show… his muses… turned out to be his Golden Retrievers, Riley, Bear, and Millie. His dad and baby sister made a few appearances, too, but the dogs were clearly the main focus. We’re not embarrassed to admit we watched Rhett’s photo montage more than once!
Rhett’s heart is full of love for his Goldens and his family!
Did you have a favorite picture? We can’t explain why, but the photo of his dog’s paw really got us, and we weren’t the only ones. Commenter @bethleepalmer321 shared a photo of it and got 36k likes when she shared, “Something about this one got me in my feels.”
