Though the rise of smartphones may have made it easier to take selfies, videos, and snaps of our pups wearing decorative, seasonal hats they secretly hate, photographing our beloved pets is no new phenomenon.

From road trips to days at the lake, and even a few famous faces, here are 15 photos of what it was like to have a dog in the 1970s.
