Megan Determan and Chris Kluthe wanted a photo with their mini dachshund Louie because he is such a large part of their family, according to [Jezebel](http://itheedread.jezebel.com/meet-the-superstar-dog-who-just-bombed-the-hell-out-of-1738934422). But Louie wasn’t content to sit in the background of the picture, he wanted to be the star of the show. “Louie is six \[years old\], but he’s got the heart of a puppy,” photographer Karin Berdal, of [DnK Photography](http://www.dnkphotography.com), told[ ABC News](http://abcnews.go.com/Lifestyle/dog-photobombs-couples-engagement-shoot/story?id=34762482). “He had no clue what he was creating for us, but once we got that picture, we were cracking up. I think Megan’s response was ‘Well, that’s Louie. He’s a show stopper.'” Determan even hinted that Louie purposely posed like he did out of jealousy of Kluthe. “I feel like Louie’s always just kinda like that. Anytime I go to touch Chris, he’s like, no, I want to be pet,” she said. Kluthe said he didn’t realize how much Louie’s cameo had blocked him in the photo: “I knew he was in the shot, I didn’t realize he was that much in the shot.” ### These Bittersweet Portraits Show How Puppies Become Grown-Up Dogs  Corbet from Dog Years Amanda Jones  Lily from Dog Years Amanda Jones  Fred from Dog Years Amanda Jones  Poppy from Dog Years Amanda Jones ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4089551/couples-dog-epically-photobombs-engagement-pictures/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4089551/couples-dog-epically-photobombs-engagement-pictures/"},"headline":"This Couple's Dog Epically Photobombed Their Engagement Pictures","datePublished":"2015-10-27T20:58:00.000Z","dateModified":"2026-05-11T04:46:51.537Z","description":"Jealousy rears its adorable head","url":"https://time.com/4089551/couples-dog-epically-photobombs-engagement-pictures/","keywords":["Newsfeed","animals","Dogs","Love","photography","couples","Dog","Engaged","engagement"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1eb6edfa0c419849/69886e68428a9e391accfcee/dog-copy.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1eb6edfa0c419849/69886e68428a9e391accfcee/dog-copy.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"dog copy","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4089551/couples-dog-epically-photobombs-engagement-pictures/","name":"This Couple's Dog Epically Photobombed Their Engagement Pictures"}}]}] ```
