People are great, but they have nothing on the unconditional love, enticing playfulness, and cuddly cuteness man's best friend gives you forever and always. So naturally, as any dog lover should, you'll have to share your pup's photo on the gram on the regular. Whose mood doesn't get boosted every time a sweet dog photo, perhaps even one of you and your pup wearing matching outfits, pops into your feed? The world needs more of that content, for sure.
Once you have that oh-so-precious image queued up in the app, though, you might find yourself pausing (or paws-ing) at the caption blank. What could possibly match your picture worth a thousand words? Not to fear. We've made that step easy by rounding up ready-made dog Instagram captions for you to cut, paste, and post. Some are short, some are funny, and some are punny. Others showcase quotes that put just the right words on your connection to your pup.
So scroll down to find just the right Instagram caption for your pup pic, and the one you'll after that, and the one you'll post after that.
