 you're anything like me, it takes every ounce of your self-control to keep yourself from posting a hundred photos of your pet every day. I mean, come on: They're just lying there, being all cute. Or playing with their favorite toy, being all cute. Or prancing along on a walk, being all cute. You get the idea.

But while taking snap after snap is the easiest thing in the world, coming up with something witty to write in the caption can be much harder. After all, there's only so many heart eye emojis a person can use before they start to look a little unhinged. Don't worry, we've got you: These dog Instagram captions will capture your furry friend's essence, whether yours IG tends toward the glamour shots or silly snaps side of the spectrum. And yep, we've included plenty of quotes about dogs for good measure.

Dogs: History, evolution and behavior of our best friends

Dogs

Dogs and humans have been companions for thousands of years.

It hardly seems like a dainty teacup poodle and a wrinkly Neapolitan mastiff could belong to the same species, much less the same subspecies. But both are Canis lupus familiaris, the beloved domestic dog.

A member of the family Canidae — along with wolves, foxes, coyotes and jackals — dogs have been human companions for at least 14,000 years (and possibly much longer than that). Much about how dogs and humans became inseparable remains a mystery, but research finds that the bond is very real. As many pet owners may already attest, there is evidence that dogs understand human distress and want to help their owners when they're sad.

Despite the diversity of domestic dogs, these animals share an evolutionary history and behavioral traits.

The closest living relative to modern dogs is the gray wolf (Canis lupus). The ancestor of modern dogs and the ancestor of modern wolves probably split at some point in the late Pleistocene, the last ice age. Genetic studies put different dates on this split. One 2014 study based on the mutation rates found that the schism happened between 9,000 and 34,000 years ago, and that the wolf population dogs split from later went extinct. Another genetic study(opens in new tab) from 2017 put the window between 20,000 and 40,000 years ago.

Most pet owners are clear about the immediate joys that come with sharing their lives with companion animals. However, many of us remain unaware of the physical and mental health benefits that can also accompany the pleasure of snuggling up to a furry friend. It’s only recently that studies have begun to scientifically explore the benefits of the human-animal bond.

As many dog owners already know, taking the time to bond with your furry friend can turn your dog into a close companion for life. That is especially true when circumstances make it harder to maintain close ties with family and friends. Relocating to a new area, retiring from work, or spending time in isolation during a pandemic, for example, can make your relationship with your dog even more important.

Dogs have a unique ability to provide their owners with an endless amount of love and emotional support, especially during times of great stress. They provide an outlet for fun and play, while bringing lots of laughter and levity into the home to keep you in the present moment rather than obsessing on an uncertain future. In fact, studies have shown that dogs provide comfort that is at least equal to that of a close friend.
