Dogs are humanity’s closest friends in the animal world, though we sometimes wonder if they’re just putting up with us. Universally referred to as “man’s best friend”, our dogs share our lives, our joys, our griefs…and our dinners. They warm us up in winter nights and remind us that nothing in life is really all that serious if you have a ball to fetch and meat on your plate. It’s no wonder that we take such pleasure in sharing our furry friends with the world. Here are a few captions to help you capture those moments with your mutt.
