We could start this post by attempting to convince you that because the weather is sunny, it’s now time to embark on all sorts of outdoor pursuits. Then we’d suggest that as you’ll be wanting to bring your beloved dogs along on those adventures, they’ll also need to sport a pair of sunglasses.

But that would be a lie.

The honest truth is that, if you spend any amount of time on Instagram looking at pictures of pets, at some point you’re going to come across a snap of a dog wearing sunglasses. And it’s just the best thing ever. As these pics prove. Enjoy!

Only a Boxer could pull off a pair of green-rimmed shades with this much dignity, right?

The playful nonchalance going on here with this Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is irresistible.

Remember, sunglasses are also a great way to sneak in a secret nap.
