17 Dogs You Should Be Following on Instagram

Some people think Instagram is just a place for brunch, sunsets and people’s feet on the beach. But really, Instagram is a place for dogs. It’s the perfect platform to get daily updates about a dog’s day and watch his journey from puppyhood into adulthood. With some skill, patience and a good eye for cuteness, you can curate a wonderful, diverse feed full of adorable pups with distinct personalities and aesthetics.

From the famous dogs with massive followings to the more obscure pooches flying under the radar, Instagram offers an endless supply of canine cuteness. We encourage you to go out and explore the wonderful world of Instagram dogs on your own and find some pups who really speak to you. (Seriously, there are so many worthwhile dog accounts out there.) But in the meantime, to get you started, here’s a selection of 17 dogs worth following.

Baby Beckham

Meet Baby Beckham, a gorgeous (and ultra-fluffy) Samoyed who spends his days hiking and going for dips in cold mountain streams. Follow him for a nonstop adventure, but beware that you’ll probably get jealous of his life.

Major

Major the Yorkshire Terrier knows how to kick back, relax, and just enjoy life.

Lucielle Bull

Want to see beautifully composed portraits of a stunning bulldog? Then follow Lucy. Sadly, her photos aren’t terribly frequent, but they’re always worth the wait.
