Can't hold the downward dog pose? Dan and Alejandra Borris, creators of the 2010 Yoga Dogs Calendar, know several flexible, four-legged yogis who can. With images of popular dog breeds showing off their flexibility and meditation skills, this calendar, shown in the UK's
Daily Mail, unleashes a new obsession for pet lovers.

"The dogs get as close as they can with the yoga moves but some of those positions in the calendar are anatomically impossible," Dan told the Daily Mail.

Alejandra, a former yoga teacher and currently an animal practitioner, helped the flexible pooches put their paws into place, while Dan photographed the yoga stars. Adjustments were later made in Photoshop, reports the Daily Mail.

Dan and Alexandra look for their canine models everywhere. 'Sometimes we see really cool dogs on the street and we approach the owners,' Dan told the Daily Mail.

Ask the AKC Animal Behaviorist: Help! My Cat Is Peeing All Over the House
This is the cutest, most original and hysterical ly funny thing I have ever seen. What a change from all of the terrible headlines. Keep up the good work.
The pictures are products of Photoshop. Not actual dogs doing these things. It says so if you read the original article instead of the AOL micro version. Not that the actual news stories represent reality, either. They are every bit as distorted and misleading.
These animal pictures are a breathe of fresh air with all the depressing news constantly shoved in our face.
omg! The pics of the doggies are sooooooo adorable! Smart pups!!
That was adorable. LOL I wish I could do some of those positions without a muscle relaxer and the jaws of life!
Ihave a Bloodhound that is a wonderful house pet with a gentle way about her. My grandson and I joined a search & rescue team and Sophie has been certified as a full wilderness,water, body search dog. Sophie is 15 months old. Please add this bleed for their intelligence and devotion to family.
