The power of Photoshop is incredible. Just ask Christopher Cline, a Photoshop pro who has become known for transforming his goldendoodle Juji into a real-life Clifford the Big Red Dog.

As you’ll see below, Cline redefines “a man and his best friend” pictures by dramatically transforming his companion.

“Juji is definitely one of my biggest sources of inspiration,” Cline told the Daily Dot. “He came along at a time in my artistic career when I was feeling low. I keep thinking I’m gonna run out of ideas but with him around they just keep coming. Everyday is a new adventure with him.”

Since Cline started posting these Instagram photos, other dog lovers have reached out to him in the hopes of Photoshopping their own pet pictures.

“I feel so grateful that so many people find happiness in what I’m doing,” Cline said. “I love that I can offer others the gift of making their dog larger than life, because in a dog owner’s eyes that’s exactly how we see them.”

“I’d have to say that one of my favorite images is one I just recently posted, where we’re riding the bike together and he’s on my back,” Cline said. “It was so much fun to create and was one of those pieces that just sort of fell into place very quickly.”

If you find yourself wanting a picture of your own, just shoot Cline an email.
