Aussie dogs are helping their humans to sell their homes.

Owners are posing their four-legged family members in real estate campaign photos, upping the swoon factor.

What was once a dinky technique is becoming more common, making the listing stand out. More than just cute, it creates a buyer connection.

Prospective buyers get a heart-tugging dose of the warm and fuzzies as they browse the advertising. Agents aim to conjure a homely atmosphere in static listing images and the vendors’ adorable dogs are the ultimate at doing this.

Meet the dogs of Domain, the best good boys and girls giving puppy eyes from properties for sale around Australia right now.
