If nothing else, 2020 proved to me that humans really are a special kind of garbage, so to fill my heart (and Instagram feed) with joy, I turn to the alternative influencers – those of the canine persuasion. These pooches are more than just your average dog park cuties. No, these famous dogs have made entire brands (and product lines, to boot!) for themselves with the help of their social media-savvy humans.

Not only are these two corgi brothers an adorable pair – they’re also a hilarious one. If you spend countless hours every week scrolling Tik Tok (PS- try out these TikTok beauty trends), you need to give this account a follow immediately.

I could watch videos of this lil Pekingese cutie all day long. Hoyan takes the streets of Osaka, Japan by storm with cute outfits and a quirky runway walk.

Toronto-based dog model Herman is a relatable king. He supports his favourite local sports teams, loves a good Starbucks, and is passionate about travel. He may be housebound now, but I can’t wait to see what he gets up to next.

The thing that made me fall absolutely in love with this YouTube star/doggie influencer is the head to body ratio. Supercolaa is at least 60% head, and 100% adorable.

I would be remiss to talk about dog influencers and not mention New York-based fashion icon Boobie. This gorgina princess has a more impressive wardrobe than most humans her own accessory line to boot. I don’t want to be dramatic, but I would die for you, Boobie.

The internet’s premier canine food blogger Popeye is the cutest little gentleman. His big doggie smile and teddy bear looks make it hard to decide what I love more– looking at him, or the delicious food he’s posing with.

This popular doggie duo is based out of Korea, which is easy to see based on their sweet style. They even have a line of dog apparel that ranges from dog overalls to playsuits. If you love seeing matchy-matchy outfit posts, you’ll love this account.

Chloe Mae has the LA influencer thing down pat, which is pretty impressive for a 6-year-old. This malshi princess (that’s a Maltese and Shih Tzu mix) is #goals.

If you’re reading this list, you likely already follow YouTube and Maya. And if you’re not, you’d better smash that follow button for the cutest videos from this fluffy, four-legged social media star.

This account, shared by an entire pack of famous Korean dogs was the gateway drug into the world of dog influencers for me. While I love each and every spice dog, my personal favourite is baby Mayo (don’t tell Hazlenut though).
