TAFT, Calif. — If you're expecting, you're expected to have a late-in-the pregnancy photo shoot, but the tradition is apparently going to the dogs.
Chanel and LeeRoy, two dogs, are going to be new parents.
Amy Rients jumped into photographer mode and set up a photo session with her dog, LeeRoy, and his mate.
She then posted the photos to Facebook, where they have gone viral.

Thanks to help from her cousin and Chanel's owner, the shoot took about an hour.
