While we can never really know what's going through a dog's head, hundreds of social media users are convinced they can read the minds of a pair of canines in a now-viral photo — and what those dogs are thinking is that they're better than you.

On Friday, South African humanitarian Sindisiwe van Zyl tweeted a photo of some proud-looking pups in knit turtleneck sweaters.

In a matter of days, hundreds of people had cracked jokes about the dogs, attributing human characteristics to the animals.

Most imagine that the posh pets are rich, pretentious, and stuck-up, judging everyone around them and looking down their noses at those who aren't of their class.

The funny tweets, which include casting them in a fashion photoshoot and comparing them to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, have spread like wildfire and are attracting thousands of likes.
