South Carolina K-9 photo day turns chaotic as dogs can't contain their enthusiasm

The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources released outtakes from a recent photo day for their K-9s, who work with the state's game wardens on a variety of tasks. 

Some dogs jumped onto the platform only to jump right back off, while others focused on squeaky toys and some couldn’t give their human partners enough kisses in between shots. 

SCDNR shared the results of the shoot on their social media pages.

The backstory:

The state's game wardens use the K-9s to detect hidden wildlife, find concealed guns, track violators and help with search-rescue-operations across the Palmetto State’s terrain.
