Photo captures pooch leaping into family snap in 'best photobomb ever'

This pooch was so determined to be included in a sweet family snap that she leapt into shot despite being outside - in what's been hailed the 'best photobomb ever'. Tamsin Cowman invited family over to celebrate her dad's 70th birthday and capture special group photos.

As the 43-year-old nurse let cockapoo Bo out into the garden to play, the family gathered in the living room to take photos of grandfather Michael Ng with his seven grandchildren. But the family were in for a surprise when they looked at the pictures later that evening and discovered the four-year-old pup had snuck into shot.

The hilarious capture shows the family in a wholesome embrace, while determined Bo can be seen jumping enthusiastically into frame through the window in the background. Mum-of-four Tamsin claims that the photobomb 'wasn't much of a surprise' as Bo 'loves to be involved' - and probably wondered why the family were having a cuddle without her.

Now, Tamsin says the photo is 'one for the wall' and that she's going to make more of an effort to bring Bo into family snaps from now on. After sharing the photo on social media it racked up more than 1,000 likes, shares and comments, with people dubbing it the 'best photobomb ever'.

Tamsin said: "We love taking photos in our family, so we had to make sure that we had a picture.

"Later on in the evening, my sister sent this one with a big laughing emoji.

"I just laughed so much, I love my dogs.

"My whole family just laughed and thought it wasn't much of a surprise, because Bo loves a cuddle.

"She's very sweet, and she loves to be involved so she'll always be nudging me for a cuddle.

"She'd gone outside into the garden and then realised everyone else was having a cuddle, and probably thought, 'why aren't I in that?'

"Bo obviously wanted to get in on the action with all of the grandchildren.

"We all have a really nice bond with her, she's very playful as well.

"It's definitely a framer - definitely one for the wall.

"I just thought it was so funny, which is why I thought I'd share it on Facebook.

"We'll definitely have to bring Bo into family photos from now on and make sure she's not forgotten."

After sharing it on Facebook, people were quick to praise the snap, with many joking about how hilarious they found the perfectly timed pic.

One user wrote: "What a fabulous photo. Do you not realise they can't be left out of anything?"

A second commented: "That's the best photobomb ever!"

One wrote: "That's absolutely brilliant! And what a pose!"
