Feb. 9 (UPI) -- Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda encouraged the internet to Photoshop photos of his pet dog.

Miranda shared several photos of his dog, Tobi, standing in front of a green screen and called for fans to send their best Photoshop creations.

"I brought my dog Tobi to work and took her picture in front of the green screen for y'all," he said. "Photoshop away, I'll RT faves."

The call resulted in a flurry of images placing the dog in scenes at Miranda's work, offering political commentary and parodying pop culture.

Twitter user Andrew Chamings appealed to Miranda's theater roots by editing the dog's head onto Hamlet.

Casey Maher offered an homage to Miranda's own work by replacing Alexander Hamilton's face on the $10 bill.

"Someone send the U.S. Treasury my new design for the $10 bill," she said.

Another of Miranda's followers, Jensen, decided to insert Tobi next to rapper Eminem in a scene from the film 8 Mile.

"This is the very first thing that came in my head when I saw her looking this way. I am so sorry," he said.

One fan, named Heath, placed Toby behind U.S. Press Secretary Sean Spicer's podium where he declared "I am a good boy. Period."

A few hours after his original post, Miranda compiled his favorite images and thanked his followers for the entertainment.

"Thank you all for a wonderful afternoon," he said.
