Not since Underdog have canines looked so awkward in the air.

Julia Christe, a German photographer and dog lover, wanted to capture her favorite breeds from a unique perspective, so she asked some pet owners if she could shoot their pooches in mid-flight.

The pups had their pictures taken as they were dropped onto a mattress by their owners. Despite pulling some pretty precious faces, the puppies in the photo shoot are all okay. We're betting some of them even wanted to go again, since dogs are just awesome.

Poor dogs. Most of them look scared to death.

There's an easier way to get dogs to fly.

And it is more fun for the dog!

"yes, Virginia, dogs can fly"

Of the First Wave for the Big Air competition, where the Desk spent most of its time trying to catch an action shot of a flying dog, there were several jumpers that cleared the twenty foot line, and one that did better than twenty-five feet. Now, that's twenty-five feet from the edge of the dock to where the last bit of dog hit the lake.
One full bodied Chocolate Lab from Maryland cleared seventeen feet! That was a lot of canine to propel that far out over the water!

@Doc: Thank you for sharing. That certainly does look like a lot of fun for the dogs.

More fun than the pictures above, that's for sure.
