People are great, but let’s face it: They have nothing on dogs. Between the unconditional love, adorable playfulness, and all-around cuddly cuteness, man’s best friend is, well, totally paw-some! And as any dog lover should, we bet you post your pup’s photo on Instagram regularly. Just admit, your camera roll is all dog. Once you have those oh-so-precious images queued up in the app, though, you might find yourself pausing (or paws-ing, he he) for the just-right dog Instagram captions.

What caption could possibly match your picture that’s worth a thousand words, you might say? We’ve rounded up tons of cute dog Instagram captions for you to cut, paste, and post, whether you’re looking for funny dog Instagram captions or even dog best friend captions for those sentimental moments. Clever dog Instagram captions celebrate the fun-loving side of having a pet while sweet quotes put just the right words to your connection with your pup.

So keep it up with those pup posts: 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 every dog breed, for sure.
