The question of how to achieve a pitch-perfect selfie has practically inspired its own branch of science, with the warm glow of a Valencia filter feeling like a quaint throwback in the face of iPhone cases tricked out with LED lights and the rise of the camera drone.

But if the abundance of four-legged creatures cutening up our feeds is any indication, it seems the secret to a successful beauty shot is as simple as posing with your pet.

Just ask Lou Doillon, whose close-up avec kangaroo Down Under had us cooing over marsupials as much as her windblown waves, right as a fresh-faced Doutzen Kroes shared a picture—and a meal—with a giraffe in Kenya. Of course, it’s not just exotic wildlife that’s shooting to Insta-fame: Langley Fox’s profile is nothing short of a love letter to her husky puppy, Zeppelin, and a testament to her great skin, while Karen Elson found herself eclipsed by another redhead: her cat, Fergus.

Above, eight reasons why a furry friend beats the best filter.
