The problem with taking selfies with pets is to get and hold their attention while the selfie is being taken.
Pooch Selfies' solution includes a physical attachment for smartphones which has a ball at the top.
The ball, which can also make squeaking noises, works impressively to capture a pet's attention and make them stare at the camera.

Pooch Selfies was founded by Jason Hernandez.
The idea of an accessory to capture a pet's attention was initially a fun idea, but Mr. Hernandez thought that it could be marketable.
So, he created a Kickstarter account to crowd fund his idea.
Mr. Hernandez raised $39,000 through crowd funding, and was thus able to start Pooch Selfies.

"It seems today we humanize our pets more and more. They are our fur children, I know mine are. As they are our fur-kids, it makes sense that we want to create the same kinds of memories we do with other people," Mr. Hernandez said.
