Over the course of four years, the Birth Photography Facebook group has consistently created captivating slideshows showcasing the beauty of labor, delivery, and postpartum moments, which they have shared on their public page. In addition to featuring midwives, doulas, dads, and siblings in their photo сomріɩаtіoпѕ, the group recently decided to highlight another remarkable group of individuals involved in the birthing process: “pets.”

“Dogs and other pets seem to instinctively know that something is up during a pregnancy” the Birth Photography group’s founder Laura Eckert told The Huffington Post. “They can become more protective of the mother-to-be, as though they sense that something is about to happen”
