Christopher Cline, a photographer originally from Virginia gave it all up for love. For a woman. Cline met Christine, fell in love and moved to Minnesota with his girlfriend, leaving his friends, family and job behind.

Life in Minnesota wasn’t so bright. The change was hard for the photographer and sadly he fell into depression. Fortunately, the love of his life picked up on this and decided to do something to brighten up her boyfriend’s day. Christine got Christopher a Goldendoodle they named Juji.

 
 

"Dad, I like you. You seem like a good person. You feed me, walk me, bathe me, and overall you're an alright guy. But if you try to cut my hair with that thing…I WILL eat your face!"…. So haircut day is coming on Thursday and we're all kinds of on edge about it around here. Hopefully everything will go smoothly. Plus, I'd like to keep my face. #barkbox #Bestdog #worldofcutepets #chrisandjuji #goldendoodles #dogsofinstagram #goldendoodlesofinstagram #weeklyfluff #rsa_graphics #ig_underground #shotaward #dogsofinstaworld #dogsandpals #dogscorner #igbest_dogs #excellent_dogs #dog #puppiesofinstagram #bestwoof #dailydoseopuppies #instadog #arts_help #petscorner #animaladdicts #mydogiscutest #petsofinstagram #exklusive_shot #hikingwithdogs #campingwithdogs

At first the photographer wasn’t too happy about the dog. Cline not only had to make his new life in Minesota work, but he now had a pet to look after.

It wasn’t long after the talented photographer took to the dog. He realized Juji was the perfect muse for his photos. The four-legged companion was an awesome pet and very photogenic, and best of all he gave the depressed man the will to go on adventures through his camera’s lens, enjoy life and find lots of things to smile about.

Thanks to the Juji and Photoshop, Cline found a new hobby he not only loved but also helped him advance in his career.

Here are just a few of Juji’s inspired photographs. See them all here.

 
 

"I love the feeling of sand between my toes, Dad!"… Walks on the beach with a wet dog is just what I need right now. It's so cold here. Todays theme in the @jjcommunity is "The Ocean", which is nice because I'm kinda getting worn out on the winter photos. But it's nice to know that in just 4 short months I'll be doing this once more with my little buddy. #barkbox #Bestdog #worldofcutepets #chrisandjuji #goldendoodles #dogsofinstagram #goldendoodlesofinstagram #weeklyfluff #rsa_graphics #ig_underground #shotaward #dogsofinstaworld #dogsandpals #dogscorner #igbest_dogs #excellent_dogs #dog #puppiesofinstagram #bestwoof #dailydoseopuppies #instadog @dogsandpals #petscorner #animaladdicts #mydogiscutest #petsofinstagram #exklusive_shot #hikingwithdogs #campingwithdogs #jj_forum_1471

***Flashback***… One year ago I made the decision to make my account totally about my adventures with Juji. I had 1000 followers and struggled daily with editing ideas and editing concepts that were pleasing to your eye as well as my own. Obviously, I do this because it makes me happy, but I also do it because it makes others happy too. I love that this gives me the means to meet so many creative people. I love that I'm able to do this for people all over the world. And I love the fact that working every day with Juji has brought us so close together. So thank you, everyone, for the support and positivity that you give me daily. Juji and I really appreciate it. #barkbox #Bestdog #worldofcutepets #chrisandjuji #goldendoodles #dogsofinstagram #goldendoodlesofinstagram #weeklyfluff #rsa_graphics #two_ru #ig_underground #shotaward #dogsofinstaworld #dogsandpals #dogscorner #igbest_dogs #excellent_dogs #dog #puppiesofinstagram #bestwoof #dailydoseopuppies #instadog @dogsandpals #petscorner #animaladdicts #mydogiscutest #petsofinstagram #exklusive_shot #hikingwithdogs #campingwithdogs
