Who let the dogs out? The AI Puppy Trend is taking over TikTok and Instagram, with users turning their selfies into heart-melting images surrounded by adorable, fluffy puppies.
With this article, learn how to join the trend using YouCam Makeup’s Beauty Agent and Gemini AI Studio. Plus we’ll share some fun prompts to help you create your own viral-worthy AI puppy photos.
What Is the AI Puppy Trend?
If your feed has suddenly been flooded with cozy, dreamy photos of people cuddled up with Pomeranians, Beagles, and Dalmatians, you’ve spotted the AI Puppy Trend. This wholesome trend started popping up on TikTok and quickly spread across social platforms.
It’s similar to other viral AI edits like the AI Plumber and AI Ghostface trends but far cuter. The result — transform a normal photo of yourself into a fantasy scene surrounded by ultra-realistic puppies using AI image generators.
The best part? You don’t need to be a designer or own any pets. All you need is a clear photo, an AI tool, and the right prompt.

YouCam Makeup’s AI Beauty Agent makes it easy to create adorable AI puppy photos. The app uses advanced AI image generation technology to preserve your natural features and add realistic elements — like a pack of cute pups — that look like they were always part of the image.
Here’s how you can do it:
Step 1: Download YouCam Makeup
Download the YouCam Makeup app free from the App Store or Google Play.
Step 2: Open AI Agent
Tap the AI Agent feature inside the app. You’ll enter a chat-style interface where you can talk to your AI assistant.

How to Make AI Puppy Photos with Gemini AI
The trend originally took off thanks to Gemini, Google’s image-generation chatbot. Here’s how to make your own AI puppy photo using Gemini:
Step 1: Open the Gemini app with the Nano Banana model on your phone or computer.
Step 2: Upload a clear, well-lit photo of yourself where your face is fully visible.
Step 3: Type in a detailed prompt such as:

Step 4: Send your prompt and wait a few seconds for Gemini to generate the image.
Step 5: Review the result and, if needed, refine your prompt to adjust the number of puppies, change breeds, or modify the background.
5 Fun AI Puppy Prompts to Try
Once you’ve nailed the basics, switch up your prompts for more variety. Here are five creative ideas to experiment with:
- Add ten fluffy Golden Retriever puppies cuddled around me in a cozy living room with warm sunlight. Keep my face and body unchanged.
- Place five tiny Pomeranian puppies playing at my feet in a garden scene, keeping my face and outfit natural.
- Surround me with playful Dalmatian puppies running through a park while keeping the original background. Keep my face and body unchanged.
