Christmas — it's that magical time of the year filled with so much love, merry-making, and where everyone partakes in the season's various festive activities. Families would gather, sing carols, exchange gifts with one another, and we try catching up with everyone around us.

Aside from all the food on the table, our tall Christmas tree, taking photos will always be part of it to document all our happy and fond memories during this annual occasion. We always wish to have a 'perfect holiday photo' with the entire family, including the pets.

But sometimes, 'perfect' can only be an illusion. Our pets can be so unpredictable, and they have their thinking.

Taking photos with pets can be quite challenging as these furry babies couldn't focus at times. There should always be a trick that owners need to learn to keep them in one place.

When owners are high (on a party fever mode), pets can also be in that kind of mood. They can get overexcited and end up photobombing in most of our family pictures.

We have gathered some of the 'would-have-been-perfect' Christmas photos over the internet if not hilariously ruined by dogs. Check these out, and you'll surely end up laughing at how funny these photos are.

Don't forget to include them in your snaps this year. Merry Christmas everyone!
