A little bit of fun for today off the back of a whole lot of images I’ve made of dog quotes for Instagram. Since I’ve worked on so many images, I thought I share a few of the dog quotes here along with some of the images I’ll be posting on my Instagram over the coming weeks / months.
Feel free to use any of these dog quotes for your Instagram (they’re not mine after all!) and you’re welcome to use any of the images I’ve created too.
I hope you find these curated quotes about dogs interesting / funny / inspiring. I also hope you can identify with them… as the proud owner of a Whippet I know I certainly do!
Enjoy!
