Petheadz by Zach Rose, a photographer based in Toronto, Canada, is a series of [canine portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tails-frames) that is hilariously clever. It's been said time and again that dogs and their owners look alike, but this is probably not what people meant. Nevertheless, it completely works.

Essentially, Petheadz by Zach Rose revolves around the superimposition of a [Canon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/never-break-your-flow) DSLR with a dog's head on the display on the body of its master. What really makes this series special, however, is how the real world interacts with the digital one. Both the dogs and the people have been matched up [apparel wise](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-originals-pet-collection) in order to create as seamless a portrait as possible. The resulting images are highly entertaining.
