He told the Bored Panda: ‘I don’t think there are any challenges when it comes to taking pictures with dogs, but that’s just because most of my photos are taken with puppies, so it’s really hard to get into any kind of trouble with them. 

‘It’s actually rather easy to take photos with them!’

Although he did recall that one puppy peed on him after he was trying to hold a small puppy who ‘got a little bit scared’. 

He has been posting the pictures on his Instagram for more than three years, having started the idea after picking up a dog for fun to take a photo. 

The photo received around 100 likes on Instagram, despite Jason not expecting to receive any attention from it.
