Larger than life: Photographer digitally enlarges his famous puppy

Mount Juji?

Christopher Cline, a photographer based in the US, has become famous online for digitally altering his goldendoodle, Juji, to massive proportions - much like the titular dog in Clifford, a television show for children. 

According to Mashable Asia, this digital reality was created by Mr Cline for three reasons: to create a "story-like feeling" among viewers, for comic relief given that Juji weighs only 45kg in real life, and to highlight the huge role dogs play in their owners' lives. 

A story by Today.com also mentioned that Juji is up for anything his owner wants to do, even though he does not know many tricks yet.

"By all means he's not a dumb dog, but I'd be lying if I said he was super smart," Mr Cline told the website.

Among the photos that are posted on Mr Cline's Instagram page includes the photographer leading a sopping wet, massive Juji along a beach, and one of Mr Cline on a ladder trimming Juji's fur.
