That photo has gone viral in the r/funny subreddit, where it currently has over 32,000 upvotes. It's beautifully reminiscent of an old viral trend known as cat bearding, which was popular back in 2013.

In case you were wondering, the dog in that picture is a miniature dachshund. His name is Bosco, but he also goes by Beans. And he takes a wonderful, wonderful photo.
