Why are these pics so popular? "The reason that pictures and videos of dogs are so popular online is because there's rarely anything controversial about a well-looked-after pooch," Salman Haqqi, senior pet insurance expert, explained. He added that "content often goes viral because it evokes emotions from the masses and pictures and videos of dogs simply make people feel happier when they're watching them."
The number of pet influencers has increased dramatically in recent years, creating a new industry. We've all come across some dog-influencer, which is a dog "that has a large following on social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, etc."
"Obviously, they've had help from their respective owners," Salman said and added: "but they're accounts people engage with, either because they can relate to having their own furry friends or just enjoy 'canine content' vicariously, without owning a dog themselves."
