Dogs are truly man’s best friend. They’ve been by our side for hundreds of years when we humans are5 in need of companionship, support, or a loyal friend till the end. Now, social media has made it easier than ever to get your recommended dose of cute and cuddly pals with a few taps of your finger. Instagram is now flooded with accounts dedicated entirely to cute, goofy, adorable pups. While they may not be our own dogs, they are a comforting presence in our feeds to take some time away from chaotic news cycles, or other negative online interactions. We all need a little motivation and brightening up of our day so why not let one, two, or all seven of these dog Instagram accounts help you with that.

One of the most popular dog Instagram accounts out there right now is Loki the Wolfdog. Loki came to meet his best friend Kelly Lund after Lund drove 28 hours and through a massive snowstorm to get Loki in Utah. Loki joins his best friend on his many hikes, road trips, and skiing down mountains.

Initially, it was the skiing videos that first attracted attention to Loki from users, however, what shot Loki into fame was a picture posted of him resting with Lund inside a hammock. As Lund told the Fellow Gent, Loki’s Instagram account gained over 50,000 followers a couple days after he was told by a friend it was on the front page of Reddit.

Since, Loki’s following has continued to grow one adventure after another giving eye catching photography with quote captions and stories that will capture your imagination. Yet above all else, Loki is at his happiest and most content just spending time with Lund.

2. Watson and Kiki (@wat.ki)

A dog Instagram that will never let you lose faith in friendship and love. Watson, Kiko, Harry, and London are an odd, but unique pack. Two dogs, a cat, and hedgehog that is unafraid to travel the world beyond their doggy door. From waterfalls to traveling the open highway, they are always on the go side by side. Sometimes Watson and Kiko are very close side by side.

Watson is more of a hugger, but Kiko enjoys giving Watson big kisses instead. The two are a match made in heaven as they look off the railing of bridge into the horizon or Kiko giving Watson a hug at the top of a mountain. However, they always make time to snuggle in the blankets together and relax the hours away.

3. Millie and Rupert (@milperthusky)

One husky is not enough so it is important to have two. Millie and Rupert are the perfect husky duo all the way from the United Kingdom. Rupert goes crazy when he hears the word “Walkies” and is always up for a car ride. While, Millie is more of a homebody who enjoys laying on the couch and in her dad’s bed, while getting plenty, we mean plenty, of scratches. She is a dog that demands the attention she rightfully deserves. However, she is still up for going on walks to the park or beach.

Yet, Millie and Rupert’s lives and family have changed recently. They’ve got a new baby brother to look after named Parker. Millie from day one has been by Parker’s side watching over him and making sure his life from birth on is filled with happiness and love. Millie and Rupert have some great parenting skills, which makes sense as their followers recently learned “Milpert” had puppies of their own at one time.

A badger snatcher, a little fishy, and a roobear, Zeus is happy to be growing up with his mom and dad on their regular and special days. He probably would prefer birthday days and days at the beach, then a day going to the veterinarian though.

5. Bertram “Bertie” the Pomeranian (@bertiebertthepom)
