Golden Retriever Maternity Photo Shoot Shows Every Expectant Mom Deserves To Be Photographed

Five-year-old Chanel looks just radiant.

Every expectant mother deserves to feel beautiful — even if she’s a dog.

The owner of a pregnant Golden retriever in California recently delighted many people online when she posted a maternity photo shoot featuring her pooch.

Five-year-old Chanel was due to give birth just days after the fun photos were taken, owner Kennedy Sorensen told Inside Edition.

"I saw a few people in my age group taking maternity pictures, so I thought it would be fun to do them for my dog," she said.

Her Oct. 1 tweet has more than 22,000 retweets.

The puppies’ father, LeeRoy, also starred in the shoot, according to Inside Edition, and his owner Amy Rients took the photos.

Chanel, a first-time mom, gave birth on Tuesday, Sorensen told The Huffington Post Canada. But she wouldn't reveal the size of the litter — potentially to milk (pun intended) a Twitter poll.

Sorensen said she plans to do another shoot with the puppies after their mother lays low for a few days.

You rest up, Chanel. And no one will judge you if you look a bit more weary in this next set of photos.
