There are cute dog accounts and there are popular dog accounts, but we’re here to give you the weird dog accounts. The ones whose human owners think things like, “kleenex box? or dog hat?” or “this selfie stick would look great with a chihuahua in a wig” or “a bassett hound would make a solid Bachelor contestant”. Among the app’s wide and varied dogs, you’ll find canine fashionistas (with their own spread in vogue), [dogs](http://time.com/3994033/most-famous-dogs-movies-television/) photoshopped into your favorite tv shows, pups in pizzas, and many, many dogs in costumes. And it’s not just [shiba inus](http://time.com/4005066/maru-shiba-inu-best-dog/) anymore, there’s beagles, bull dogs, doodles, pugs, and more. ### @maymothedog ### @myregalbeagle ### @operation\_sumo ### @bogieandkimba ### @thedogist ### @ted\_gram ### @honeyhazelsisters ### @littlefreddietinkles ### @3bulldogges ### @deanthebasset ### @chihuahua\_chloe1 ### @harlowandsage National Dog Day: 12 Dog Accounts to Follow on Instagram ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4464439/the-odd-dogs-of-instagram/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4464439/the-odd-dogs-of-instagram/"},"headline":"The Odd Dogs of Instagram","datePublished":"2016-08-25T16:49:35.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:35:48.638Z","description":"A look at some delightfully weird dog accounts","url":"https://time.com/4464439/the-odd-dogs-of-instagram/","keywords":["Newsfeed","animals","Dogs","Instagram"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Marisa Gertz","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/marisa-gertz/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4464439/the-odd-dogs-of-instagram/","name":"The Odd Dogs of Instagram"}}]}] ```
