How to do the zombie trend with your dog or cat
The pet version of the zombie trend: which photos work for dogs and cats, and how the video ends for them.

Why the pet version works
In the pet version, your dog or cat is the one who turns, and they still know exactly who you are. The cut lands on the most ordinary good day: fetch in the park for a dog, a nap in the sun for a cat.
Getting a usable pet photo
- Get down to their eye level and say their name, so they look at the lens.
- Daylight from a window works better than flash, which turns eyes green or white.
- One pet per photo. For two pets, make two videos.
- Cats: a photo of them looking at you counts, even if it took twenty minutes.
How the pet version ends
Choose “Me & my pet” in the generator. The story is the same as the original: your pet turns, still knows you, and you hold on. Dog videos then cut to fetch in the park, and cat videos to a sunbeam nap.
