We love our pets almost as much as our kids, but even we broke a smile at Awkward Family Pet Photos. The new book, a spinoff of AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com, hits bookstores this week. Don't miss the family of five, each holding a snake, or the bandanna-wearing guinea pig that's big enough to give the family's toddler a ride.

Go ahead, laugh if you dare — these families clearly take their pets very seriously!
