Come on, I confess.
My dog has an Instagram account (@ biru.pdae).
So I suppose I have first-hand information on why a fever affects anonymous (me) and celebrities (Katy Perry) alike.
I did it when my personal account began to fill with photos of my dog Biru, photos that, probably, began to be a tostón for anyone not interested in my dog Biru, who comes to be the majority of humanity, some 7,901,516,638 people (Although I do not understand why, with how cute it is).

The fact is that when you create an account for your dog, bang !, you enter another orbit. An orbit where you quickly accumulate
followers
who are themselves
pet accounts
, usually
of the same race
as yours. That is, your account is followed and seen by people truly interested in the subject, who have a similar dog or cat and who are capable of assessing the different poses and cuteness of your pet, many times nuances, as a painter would appreciate the different shades of pink
In short: an Insta account of your dog is an
album
of that pet that you adore, that you
share
with whoever is going to
appreciate it
(you presuppose) and that, also, because we are not made of stone, it inflates your heart like a balloon each time someone gives you a like or a positive comment.
As artist and actress
Olivia Grossman says,
"It's fun and gives you the opportunity to share beautiful photos of your adorable pet with other animal lovers."
DESPERATE PEOPLE SEEKING ATTENTION
Of course, this type of account also has its detractors.
"I'm sick of people creating Instagram accounts for their dogs and posting constant updates like it's normal. And then they expect us to watch every post and story in awe. I don't care what your dog did today!" a
user was recently pissed off
.

Some even dare with psychological interpretations of the subject: "People who make a social media account for their pets are so
desperate
for
care
that it is
toxic
."
Because it is true that there is always someone who ends up overdoing it: "Several friends have asked me why I do not follow their pets account on Instagram and Facebook. Two of them, in fact, have tried to make me feel
guilty by
saying
: 'no you care about my life. "
Wow, I swear I wasn't.
A Pomeranian in Disguise: 10.4 million followers
In the end, the motivations for creating an Instagram account for your dog can be as diverse as those that make us choose one breed of dog over another.
There are even those who dream of emulating stars like
Jiffpom
, a
Pomeranian
who today accumulates
10.4 million followers
on Instagram and charges more than 15,000 euros per post.
He is the king of pet instagramers without question.
Of course, getting there has a 'price', also for Jiff: spending your life in disguise and posing in absurd attitudes surrounded by spotlights, instead of rolling around on the grass or sleeping sprawled out like a regular dog.

The matter may seem trivial that I saw you, but it should not be so much when media such as the
Wall Street Journal
dedicate articles to it and there are agencies specialized in connecting dogs that succeed on social networks with advertisers, such as
Pupfluence
or
Dog Agency,
which does not work with you unless you have a minimum of
50,000 followers
(come on Biru, you only have 49,834 followers to get there!).
Of course, there are also a proliferation of
manuals
to make your pet's account as successful as Doug The Pug's (3.9 million followers).
One of the instructions that we read in one of them is that the text of the posts is written in the first person, come on, for the dog, not for you (it has its logic, it is its account, not yours).
Of course there are those who think that when you start doing that, you should make yourself watch.
Oh, they don't understand us.
Yes, even
Stella
,
Gillian Anderson's
dog
congratulated
David Duchovny
on
his birthday
through the account of his dog,
Brick
!
"Hey @brick_duchovny, I'm Stella. I found out that it was your human's birthday," he told her.
Because celebrities have not been left out of the current pet craze, they are human beings after all (celebrities, not pets).
In fact, there are, like
Katy Perry,
who do not part with their dog to go to a premiere, or to become vegan.
"I'm 95% ready to be 100% vegan ... My dog
Nugget
has joined me on this journey for the past four months," she tweeted last June.
Poor Nugget, he's not to blame for anything.
