 I really don't expect this to score very high. I hate having my photo taken. Taking one of myself, with four pups wasn't easy. I could not get them to stop looking back at me, or at each other, or trying to jump down. Then an idea came to me. I played YouTube videos through my Apple TV of dogs howling. It got all four to look at the TV, and thus at the camera that was on a tripod in front of it. At first Beanie was growling back at the howlers on TV so I had to wait for her to calm a bit. I almost waited too long as Sherman started getting bored. I got this shot just before he put his head down for a nap.
