Just when you thought you’d seen it all, Lilica happened. Brazilian photographer Ana Paula Grillo has taken the concept of maternity pictures to a whole new level with her stunning photos of a pregnant dog proudly displaying her baby bump. Lilica has set a new standard for looking fabulous!

Grillo reported to Bored Panda that the dog maternity shoot was a mere 20-minute affair, which left her feeling as if she completely understood the canine model. “She made sensational poses!” The following day, Lilica welcomed five adorable puppies into the world.

Celebrating dog pregnancy is a great thing, but Bored Panda would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone of the importance of spaying and neutering their pets. Not only does it help reduce the number of strays, it also benefits the health of your pets.

Grillo exclaimed that it was amazing and he felt as if he had a full understanding of her.

“She struck sensational poses!”

Lilica the following day gave birth to five marvelous puppies.

We would like to thank Ana Paula Grillo for her wonderful discussion about her incredible photo shoot!
