Instagram is the perfect (or would that be pawfect?) place to go to get your daily dose of doggie goodness. From big dogs to small, here are our favourites that you need to follow right now and why.

 


Cookie
I think a lot of it has to do with his personality, which is quite apparent. Cookie (the real name of Pumpkin on Instagram) is extremely expressive and he actually enjoys being photographed. People are amazed when they see him posing during an outdoor shoot! Cookie just loves people as well, and it shows. I think our followers are interested in seeing what he's up to or which new outfit he's wearing and then they share it with their friends and so on.

 


Kokoro & Chibi
“Kokoro” in Japanese translates to “soul,” and I really feel that she has a lot of it that shows through her photos. When Chibi came along, she brought an entirely different personality of silliness to our family and to my Instagram feed. I try my best to capture the personalities of both my dogs and show the bond that we have, but I also use these photographs as an outlet for creativity and hope to encourage others to think outside the box.

 


Whiskey
I think there's something inherently sweet about the positivity dogs bring to our lives every single day, and Whiskey is no exception. When I started Instagram, I did so with the intention of sharing his zest for life with others, and people have really responded to his joyful adventures with kindness and empathy. That never-ending happy attitude is certainly attractive and definitely infectious!

 


Barkley
We think people love following Barkley because he has a distinct look. He's small but chunky with a big head and big googly eyes and somehow that all fits well with his goofy personality.

 


Chango
His charisma and uniqueness; his ability to make anyone smile. If someone is having a bad day and they come across a photo of Chango they are sure to smile or giggle at least for that moment.


Tazz
Although Tazz has his good looks and charming smile, it's his personality that draws people in. Because he is so expressive, I feel like people really get to know him through my photos. Plus he has the bonus effect of having a cuddle-filled relationship with my cats so his account brings in dog and cat lovers alike.

 


Simon
I think people follow Simon because his face is so expressive and those expressions match up perfectly with the theme behind each photo. He has a huge personality and I love to showcase that in each photo.

 


Toby
I think Toby's followers enjoy his photos as well as his sense of humour. Toby's photos are often captioned from his perspective, letting his quirky and “tell it like it is” personality shine through. His followers also love seeing Toby in his glasses, which has now become his signature look.

 


Maya
I began taking photos of Maya as a distraction after a death in the family. Simply put, Maya makes everything better. She has the ability to add levity and humour to any situation and that joy somehow comes through in her photos.
