The dog picked him, and this dog dad photo shirt makes it public. It’s a personalized custom tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie with a black and white picture of him and his dog, the dog’s name with an apostrophe S on top, and DAD in big white letters underneath.
The dog dad photo shirt design
Our sample is a guy in a hiking pack on a mountain trail, grinning while he holds a happy beagle against his chest, pines and peaks behind them. The headline reads BAILEY’S. Type your dog’s name and it becomes BENTLEY’S DAD or JUNO’S DAD.
Outdoor photos with a bit of sky look sharp in black and white, but trailheads, tailgates, truck beds and the couch all qualify. It’s a vintage dog shirt he can wear on the next hike.
Who gives it
It’s usually his wife or girlfriend, buying for the guy who’s out on the trail every weekend with the dog right beside him. Some years the kids and the beagle team up on it for Father’s Day.
Wrap it for Father’s Day from the dog, because BAILEY’S DAD reads better than any card the dog could sign.
If he’s on the trail every weekend, a trailhead photo of the two of them comes along on the next hike.
The kids pick the photo and the beagle supplies the face, so Dad gets a husband gift and a Father’s Day gift in one.
He treats the dog better than his truck, and a truck-bed photo with the pup proves it.
Right after adoption day, the first photo of them together is enough to start, since the name is the part that matters.
How do I add my dog’s name?
- Pick a tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie and his size.
- Choose the shirt color.
- Upload his photo with the dog, then type just the dog’s name in the text box.
- Check out. Completed example: Bailey. It prints as BAILEY’S over the photo and DAD below, and your picture swaps out our hiker.
When the dog picked him, put it in writing
- Dog dad gifts are mostly leashes and treat bags for the dog
- His best photos with the dog are trail selfies he never prints
- Father’s Day tends to forget the guys whose kid is a beagle
A dog dad likes being claimed by his dog more than he’ll ever admit. The dog’s name with an apostrophe S sits on top, a black and white photo of him and his pup fills the middle, and DAD in big white letters says whose guy he is.

Dog dad FAQ
Do I type the apostrophe S?
No, just the dog’s name, like Bailey. We add the ‘s so it reads BAILEY’S DAD.
What if the dog’s name is long?
Longer names fit; the top line scales to the space. Type it exactly as you want it spelled.
Can the photo show his favorite team’s jersey logo?
Team marks, league logos, brand names and characters can’t be printed, and we won’t print celebrities, rappers, athletes or public figures. Choose a photo you own. Orders with that content get canceled with a refund.
