Here are dog-related words to use for inspiration:

  • Bark: Can be used to replace words like remarkable (re-bark-able)
  • Bone: Can be used in words like bona fide (bone-afied)
  • Dog: Can be used for doggone
  • Fur: Can be used in words like forever (fur-ever) or wonderful (won-fur-ful)
  • Hound: Can be used with rhyming words or syllables like around (a-hound) and astounding (a-hound-ing)

  • Lab: love
  • Collie: call
  • Pugs: hugs
  • Ruff: love
  • Poodles: oodles
  • Terrier: tear

So, there’s your word bank and your theme; now you just have to come up with the pun! Ideally, puns should be common and recognizable phrases, so when you change a word, it’s still clear what it means.

For example, everyone knows “I love you” is associated with Valentine’s Day. You can make this into a pun by taking “love” out and replacing it with “ruff” (I ruff you) or “woof” (I woof you) since they sound similar.
