These 11 photos show what your dog is thinking when you toss them a treat

For Christian Vieler, life is all about dogs and cameras. The photographer from Dortmund, Germany proves in his latest series that dogs look absolutely adorable when you toss them a treat.

Vieler’s photography is primarily focused on dogs, so it’s no surprise that he chose a photo series like this. Dogs have many different reactions to treats, from staring at the tasty morsel while it hits them in the face to actively jumping and trying to catch it. While they do succeed in capturing the treats eventually, it’s not always on the first try.

Check out 11 photos from Vieler’s latest series showing what dogs look like when they are given a treat.
