Leaving a dog home all day is tough on everyone, because it's hard to leave someone you love, even for a little while.
And when you love your pooch enough to write songs celebrating them, thinking that they might be lonely or scared is heartbreaking. But for many, it's an unpleasant necessity.
Luckily, there are people stepping in to fill in the gaps and make sure that dogs get the care and attention they need even while their humans are off working long hours.
One such person is Chris Iles of WalkPro LLC, who walks and trains dogs of all kinds and helps them socialize and stay healthy.
And while he's conscious of the needs of his pooches, he's just as conscious of the needs of their humans, too. He knows that many people get anxious wondering what their dog is up to all day, if they're happy, if they're getting the care they need.
So Iles delivers. He sends photos of his charges to their owners throughout the day to show them all the fun things their dogs are doing.
And not only are the photos reassuring to owners, but they're also awesome shots that might bring about some jealousy along with that reassurance!
Check out some of the best ones below, and you might find yourself wishing you could hang out outside with dogs all day!

These photos were provided by dog owner and Reddit user seanlee2013, who hates leaving his German shepherd, Shasta, at home, but is thankful for Iles' attention and love.
"He loves these dogs and treats them so well," seanlee2013 says. "We get pictures every day of their adventures."
And the photos are nothing short of perfect. The dogs hang out in a group, so they have plenty of socialization.
The group changes from day to day, too, depending on the individual dogs' care schedules. But there's always a group ready to play!
The dogs get to go to parks and take in the scenery — but don't worry about them running off! These pups are well-trained to stay put, whether on a leash or not.
Iles is also a talented and experienced dog trainer, so he knows just how to properly care for his clients.
Whether on foot or via car, these dogs know how to behave when they're in the care of their walker!
Iles balances play time and rest time so the dogs get exercise, but also plenty of lounging time. Because if dogs are good at anything, it's playing and lounging. And looking totally lovable, of course.
And how does Iles get these great photos? Well, despite dogs not being the best at posing for photos, he knows just how to bring out their photogenic side.
The only bad thing about this is the jealousy you might feel while sitting at your desk and knowing your dog is enjoying a perfect day in the sun.
But as long as your canine pal is having a good time, it's all good!
