## What it does

Your pet starts sitting calmly, then rises up onto its hind legs with front paws in the air. It hops and sways in place for a few beats before dropping back down on all fours with a happy face.

## From our test

Our sample was a golden retriever in a sunny living room, and in the middle frames it stands tall on its back legs with paws raised and mouth open in a grin. Our first version did not get the dog dancing on its hind legs, so we rewrote the direction and the fixed clip took about 3 minutes.

## Tips for the best photo

- Show the whole animal from ears to tail so the legs have room to move.
- A calm sitting or standing pose works better than a pet mid run or lying down.
- Open floor space around the pet keeps the hops from clipping furniture.

## Ideas for using it

- Dog and cat owners celebrating a pet's birthday with a dance clip.
- Pet shops and groomers posting a fun weekend greeting.
- Shelters sharing a playful clip of an adoptable pet to draw attention.
