5 awesome Instagram accounts for dog lovers
I’ve only been on Instagram for about a year now, which still makes me a relative newbie, but it has fast become one of my favourite social media platforms. My Instagram account is a hybrid — I use it for personal and business-related posts, and I use my phone exclusively (except for the odd repost from a session). I love capturing the little “in between” moments with my son that I might miss because I don’t always have my professional camera on hand, and it’s nice to scroll back over weeks and months to see how he’s changed or to remember the things we’ve done together. For Happy Tails, I post images of Chloe of course, along with adoption images I take to help get the word out. Being drawn naturally to images, I love being able to scroll through a visual display of photographs posted by people from around the world and be inspired on a daily basis.
If you’re a dog lover, there are so many amazing accounts to follow — they will make you smile on a daily basis or leave you in awe of the relationship dogs have with their people. Here are a few great Instagram accounts for dog lovers that I follow:
@thiswildidea
Follow the adventures of Theron Humphrey and his rescue coonhound Maddie (famous from Maddie on Things) as they travel around the country in Bean the FJ60, and be amazed by Theron’s photography and the Maddie’s skills.
@harlowandsage
There isn’t anything cuter than the trio of Harlow the weimeraner, Indiana the wiener dog, and Reese, the puppy wiener dog. And yes, they really do sleep like that.
@bordernerd
This is a beautiful feed featuring personality-filled images of Jazzy the border collie, and Cooper the lab taken by their photographer mom.
@andrewknapp
Can you spot Momo? Border collie Momo has a funny ability to hide in plain sight, which sparked a website and a visually fun and inspiring Instagram feed by his owner, photographer Andrew Knapp.
@heartsspeak
Shining a light on shelter pets, this feed features a steady stream of adorable rescue dogs (and cats) available for adoption. The images are taken on a volunteer basis by professional photographers.
Bonus pick: @estherthewonderpig
For a daily smile, check in on the shenanigans of Esther, a house pig packed with personality and witty one-liners.
