A selection of funny and amusing photos with dogs that will cheer you up (21 photos)
Four-legged friends, both today and throughout the 20th century, have become the center of attention for photographers all over the world. 
A couple with a dog on their shoulders. Great Britain, 1910s.
It is not entirely clear why and for what purpose, but the dog is happy. 
A dog in a harness, 1930s.
Big dogs need good exercise. Living in the city on the couch emasculates the very essence of a dog. Therefore, I think that such a small chariot will not harm a furry friend. 
Camberley Kate and her stray dogs in England, 1962. Catherine Ward, affectionately known as Camberley Kate, was a British dog lover and eccentric.
She never turned away a stray dog, caring for over 600 dogs in her lifetime.
She was well known to the people of Camberley, Surrey, for what historian Arthur Bryant described as a "striking sight" pushing a wooden cart along Camberley High Street "surrounded by dogs of all sizes and breeds". 
A dog dressed as a human with a cat "on its lap", 1950s.
Videos and photos of people dressing their pets in their everyday clothes are now going viral on the internet.
In Yekaterinburg, for example, a couple of years ago a dog shelter dressed its dogs in clothes and arranged an interesting photo shoot to attract attention and find owners.

A new generation of drivers takes the wheel, 1930.
The action takes place in a parallel universe where dogs have evolved into intelligent beings, and people are their pets. 
"The Walk", 1910s.
This is one of the pictures of the famous photographer Harry Whittier Frees. He photographed animals since 1902, creating interesting scenes and dressing them in tiny costumes.
He borrowed animals from friends and local pet stores. His mother made the costumes. The process of shooting took a very long time, so he photographed animals for 3 months a year, and the rest of the time he rested and came up with new ideas.
He sold his unusual works to postcard makers.
