Not all mums get handmade cards or brekky in bed.
Some of us (me included) wake up to slobbery kisses, wagging tails, a ball in our face and a dog who thinks 6am is cuddle o’clock.
And you know what?
That counts, because dog mums are real mums too!
This Mother’s Day let’s celebrate us dog mums - the women who walk in the rain, play endless games of fetch, vacuum daily, know their vet’s number by heart, and would do anything for their four-legged shadow.
Below are some quirky, original, and emotional dog quotes for Mother’s Day - perfect for captions, cards, or just those moments when you want to feel seen.
