Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks! Owner balances everyday items and food on her pet pitbull's head to create amusing photos



Dogs are known for being faithful, and these pictures prove just how patient they can be too.

Scout, a nine-year-old Pitbull from Canada, can be seen posing for his owner Jen Gillen with a ridiculous range of objects on his head.

From coffee to cheeseburgers, the patient pup sits quietly while Gillen balances the items on his head before running behind the camera to take a snap.

Jen Gillen has been creating these amusing photos with her patient pet Scout by balancing things on his head



Gillen, who is from Toronto, got the canine from a rescue home in 2009 and they are now inseparable



The amount of food which ends up on Scout's head suggests Gillen gets dangerously bored around mealtimes



She said: 'It all started with the suggestion from a friend to put a roll of toilet paper on his head -which was surprisingly easy - so it snowballed from there.



'Food items are the easiest because he never gets people food, although there are no shortage of his own treats after each picture.



'The hardest picture to capture was probably a large raw bone of hi - because he knew that one was his for the chewing!'

Gillen said this pose was the hardest to master as Scout kept trying to chew the giant dog treat

Gillen, a 29-year-old from Toronto, got the rescue dog in 2009 and the pair have been inseparable ever since.

She added: 'He's such an obedient dog so I wasn't too surprised we could pull of these pictures - but I didn't think it would get this out of hand.



'My favourite picture is hard to choose but I love the googly eyes!'

Drink, anyone? Scout offers his owner a cafetiere of coffee and a Bloody Mary in these pictures

Food is a common theme among the photos, suggesting that Gillen is often dangerously bored around mealtimes.

Bacon, pancakes, sushi and a burrito ready to be wrapped have all made their way onto her pet's head.

In other images Scout is disguised with Mexican wrestler and ski masks, as well as a blonde wig and a fake mustache.

Getting tired? Scout doesn't seem to be as he takes the place of a bicycle wheel before giving his neck muscles a rest with some light bath bubbles



Gillen says the food pictures were the easiest to make because Scout knows not to eat human snacks

In an impressive display of balance and strength he even manages to hold a full flower vase, though he gives his neck muscles a rest in another photo with a bundle of bath bubbles.



Pitbulls are illegal in Ontario, Canada, and also in England and most of Europe because they were bred as fighting dogs, and have been known to attack people.

However Gillen insists Scout is well behaved and has an extremely gentle nature.
