As per the way of the Beyhive and the rest of the world, too, [Beyoncé’s](http://time.com/4658035/beyonce-pregnant-twins-celebrity-reactions/?iid=sr-link3 "undefined") maternity photo shoot started a trend with mothers-to-be across the land donning flower crowns and crop tops to show off their bumps. The trend was so strong, that it quickly spread from humans to canines. Yep, dog maternity shoots are definitely a thing now, and we couldn’t be more excited. For a heartwarming example of this growing trend, check out the photo shoot posted by Twitter user @elsa\_means showcasing her best friend’s unique maternity style. The pup in question is named Fusee, and she’s a pug mix who looks good in a crown: > [](https://twitter.com/elsa%5Fmeans/status/879397736491110400) The internet responded appropriately: > [](https://twitter.com/cheydezz/status/879478521344798721) > [](https://twitter.com/dilemmalord/status/880007564313997312) **_Have a pet of your own?_**[_Check out PetHero to discover how you can save 25% on your vet bills._](https://www.pethero.com/?utm%5Fsource=time.com&utm%5Fmedium=referral&utm%5Fcampaign=cmr-pet-hero&utm%5Fcontent=time-inarticle-tout-1 "undefined") > [](https://twitter.com/blandiblae/status/879937098152722432) To add to the fun, Fusee gave birth on June 28, as Elsa [announced via Twitter](https://twitter.com/elsa%5Fmeans/status/880007851439136769 "undefined").
