Ever wondered how your dog regulate their body temprature? Dog's don't sweat like humans do! Instead, they cool off through panting and sweat glands located in their paw pads.

🖤🐾 Today is Black Dog Day 🐾🖤
Did you know black dogs are often the last to be adopted in shelters?

We think that’s crazy because every black dog we know is full of love, joy, and personality! 🐶✨

Here’s to celebrating the beauty of black dogs today (and every day).

🐾 What breed is this? 🐾

Here are some clues:

🐶This breed is famous for its long, floppy ears and feathered coat.

🐦 Originally bred as a hunting companion, it was especially skilled at “springing” game birds from hiding.

👃With an incredible sense of smell, it’s often used today in detection work.

Here’s how to snap your pup:

Use Natural Light ☀️
Take photos during golden hour (early morning or late afternoon) when the sunlight is soft and warm. It brings out the colors of flowers, grass, and your dog’s coat without harsh shadows.

Play with Seasonal Backdrops 🌼
Frame your dog near blooming flowers, fresh green grass, or under a blossoming tree. Even a patch of daisies or lavender can make the photo pop with spring vibes.

Capture Candid Moments 🐕
Instead of only asking your dog to “sit,” let them sniff flowers, run through the grass, or play with a toy. Natural expressions and movement often make the most heartwarming spring shots.
