Sharee Schock of West Salem, Wisconsin, was taking pictures of her 15-year-old daughter, Ricarra, and her boyfriend before a homecoming dance at West Salem High School in early October when her husband, Ben, decided to make good on a threat that he had made to his daughter's date earlier in the evening.

True to his word, Ben took a picture with Ricarra's boyfriend in which he stood behind the teen with his arms around his waist, copying a similar pose that the young man had done with Ricarra in an earlier photo

“We hope that above anything else this pictures shows the love and protective nature of a dad with his little girl, but in a playful and not-so-intimidating manner,”
