These are some of the oldest surviving pictures of dogs. It just goes to show that humans haven't changed too much. We have to get pics of the cute pups!

This is a white fluffy poodle, it has a bow on it's head, and it's just exhausted by this whole ordeal and having a wee nap
This is a white dog with dark patches and floppy ears. It's seated in such a way that it looks like it could leap up at any moment joyfully, but it's trying very hard to behave for the photo. It has a big ole open mouth doggie smile, and definitely seems to be making eye contact with the human that is having it sit still to have it's picture made.
This dog has that kind of silky black and white fur that you just want to pet so much, big floofy floppy ears like a border collie. It is laying down like it's napping, and I wonder if it's human decided to try to take it's picture while it was napping, but it woke up to a camera and looks mildly perplexed, worried, and put upon.

@RickiTarr the last pic looks like a cross between our two old springer spaniels. If that dog was anything like our two, your alt text is right: very soft, strokeable fur and magnificent ears.

@RickiTarr Now I just had to look up rabbits. 🐰 📷 These are all daguerreotypes from the 1850s, I think.

Black-and-white photograph of two young boys in suits, one sitting in a chair, one standing next to it. The sitting boy holds a rabbit on his lap. The rabbit looks like it might be a white angora or other long-haired breed.
Black-and-white photograph of two young girls wearing chequered dresses, their hair combed back, probably in chignons or braids. The older (and taller) of the two is next to a small table. On the table sits a white rabbit, the girl has one hand placed on its back.
Black-and-white photograph of a girl sitting in a chair wearing a chequered long-sleeved dress. Her hair seems to be chin-length, held back with a ribbon or similar accessory. On her lap sits a rabbit, held with both her hands. The rabbit looks like it is white with black spots around its eyes and on its back, the ears are also black.

@jtheseamstress @RickiTarr Cows can also be placid.

@RickiTarr Not an old picture at all but it doesn’t take much of an excuse for me to share pictures of Atlas!

In case you are wondering, I looked up early pics of cats too, but most of them are pretty blurry, as I'm assuming dogs might stay if you ask, but cats aren't entirely obedient, and live by their own rules.
