It’s that time of year again. Children are kissing their parents goodbye and hopping on those big yellow buses, excited and anxious about another year of school.

Not to be left out, their furry friends are getting in the back-to-school spirit, too. From the halls of academia to the scrolling screens of Instagram, these plucky pups are hitting the books and showing a little class of their own.

Here are some of our favorites:

This French Basset already has a paw up in life. She’ll go far with that doggie degree!

Did I tell you I got my degree this week? Finished the puppy course and now I have this blue piece of paper. Can I eat it? #dogwithadegree #dogschool #puppycourse #educatedforreal #bassetartesiennormand #bassetsofinstagram #frenchbasset #dogsofinstagram #puppy #dog
