One woman was able to get 11 dogs to sit still for a picture, despite how tough it can be to get even one dog to cooperate for a picture. The woman’s name is Melissa Lents.

The woman identifies each of the 11 dogs one by one, recalling each of their names.

According to Melissa, seven of the shown pups are foster dogs looking for homes.

Perhaps even more amazing is the fact that the flawless photo is not an isolated incident.

Lentz occasionally even succeeds in joining the group to get the ideal photo.

But how does she manage to get such ideal family photographs — something that is challenging enough for people?

Lentz’s secret appears to be related to the unique connections she makes with the dogs. The way the dogs gaze at her while she takes the pictures almost seems to mirror their relationship.

The woman doesn’t even use food or toys to attract the animals. She just asks them to sit still, and they obey.

Since they show the foster doggies at a critical juncture in their lives, when they are discovering how to feel at ease with the longer-term optimism that they will soon find their own permanent homes, the photos are not only lovely but also somewhat emotional.

They are fortunate to have found this dog whisperer to assist them on their trip.
