Photographer Chris Sembrot was inspired to make this series by the love he has for his own dog, Sadie.
He tells BuzzFeed: "Every dog owner that I am privileged to know shares the same unbounded love for their beast as I do."
"Sometimes that love is expressed in the form of sloppy kisses."
"While I do not personally open-mouth kiss Sadie, I am inspired to capture this kind of unbridled, sweet affection for Man's Best Friend."
"These images are provocative, and maybe even disgusting to some viewers."
"But what I see is the same crazy sweet love that happens when parents let their toddlers stick their hands in their mouths."
