Professor Asks For Pics Of Students’ Pets Doing Class Work And They Deliver

College prof Marie-Amélie George kicked things off with this tweet asking her students to send in pics of their dogs doing classwork, calling it an "underappreciated photography genre."

The thread quickly went viral, with respondents chiming in as they shared adorable pics of their doggos doing "work" at home.

You can pose a dog at your desktop all you want, but at the end of the day that doggo only cares about food and belly rubs.

As a cat person, I was gratified to see the number of kitty pics that popped up. I know cats don't photograph as well, but they're still pretty awesome.

Some cats like to sit on the page you're reading, while others just spread over your laptop. Either way, it makes it hard to work.

You can spend all day trying to pose your dog in front of a desk, but sometimes that dog just wants to go out and play fetch.

If I'd shared photos of my cats, it would mostly be pics of them looking super indignant that I'm paying more attention to my computer screen than to them.

We all have to earn our paycheque, but it's nice if you're able to wind down with a little palate-cleansing reading from time to time.

I think cats and dogs need to understand that nuzzling an object isn't enough to transfer the knowledge into their brains.

That dog is just as good at putting its hands on a laptop, I'll admit that. But a computer architecture whiz? I have my doubts.

My cats have been messing up my home office since long before this Twitter thread starting making the rounds.

I thought federal student aid was only available to human students. If they're opening things up to dogs as well, this could be a gamechanger.

Cats appreciate photos of birds. They also appreciate random smudges that you can barely see, so your mileage may vary.

It's hard to get exercise while you're sitting at a desk, so that makes exercise breaks all the more crucial for those who are working at home.

I included this pic mostly because I love tortoiseshell cats. It might be a look of disapproval, but it might just be a case of resting cranky face.

Whatever this dog does or doesn't know about the law, it looks to be an ideal study mate.

I know that dog probably can't read. But that's irrelevant, because the glasses make this whole scene look a whole lot smarter.

That dog looks pretty indignant that a human has stepped in and taken over in the middle of his computations.

Cats are always trying to help by gently batting light objects off of tables. I mean, it doesn't help at all, but it's the thought that counts.
