Hey there, Animal Comedy-ers, have you noticed that film cameras are back in fashion? We grew up with Polaroids, they went out of style, and now we see all the kids these days walking around with their disposable cameras, excited to snap a pic and go get it developed. The modes of taking pictures may change, but one thing stays the same - people always love to take pictures of their pets. We found a treasure trove of vintage animal pictures, and they might even give you a blast from your past!

From a cute photobooth series of a man and his doggo (featuring the doggo wearing some awwdorable glasses) to some quick candid shots of pets in old-fashioned houses, these pics are bringing us back to the olden days, and maybe making us feel a little old in the process. Scroll down for a trip down nostalgia lane - do you have any old film photos of your pets from when you were younger?

Funny, we have this exact same photo with our doggo! Just ours is stored on our phone along with thousands of other photos, and it's also in color. Something about this one just feels more special because it's old-fashioned, right?
