Tips to turn dog quotes into more shareable soundbites.

Where can you use dog quotes, other than in captions on social media? The short answer is “anywhere.” In particular, you can use them in:

• Cards —use dog quotes on the face of greeting cards or as the fun “reveal” on the inside. Any dog-related occasion is an opportunity to use dog quotes to send instant smiles.

• Letters — whenever you have a “you won’t believe what Fido did” story to tell, open a personal letter or message with a dog quote.

• Posters — whether for inspiration at the office or to hang at home, a poster with the perfect dog quote can be a daily source of sweetness.

• Banners —decorations like banners with fun dog quotes can set the tone at a dog-focused event.

• Photo collages — you’ll have no shortage of photos to fill a collage of Fido, and the perfect dog quote could add a special touch.

Exercise: when you have too many quotes to choose from.

Are you having trouble choosing the perfect dog quote for your project? Try reverse-engineering the emotion you want to evoke.

• The main emotion everyone wants to jog is “happiness,” but what kind of happiness? It might be...
• Amusement
• Nostalgia
• Inspiration
• Pride
• Thankfulness
• Love
• Peace
• Security

Ask yourself which emotion you’re really trying to conjure. Then, of all your favorite dog quotes, ask which ones inspire that feeling in you. Those are the best dog quotes to use for your project.
