Harlow and Sage

At first glance, you might be overwhelmed by the Harlow and Sage social media accounts. How many animals are there? Which one is Harlow? How in the world can one furry family contain so much cuteness?
Here’s the background: in the beginning, there was Harlow and Sage, a Weimaraner and Mini Dachshund duo who were the perfect subjects for their skilled photographer Owners.
When Sage passed away in 2013, and Harlow was feeling a bit lonely, his family decided to welcome home another dog, and then another, and then another! At a certain point, a very dog-like cat was also thrown into the mix, and you can regularly see the family’s foster doggos, too.
While every post is sure to capture your heart, we would suggest that you pay close attention to the original cutie, Harlow! His many on-camera looks really set the tone for the rest of his pack.

Dressing dogs up as humans will never not be funny. But thanks to Bodhi, you can now be both amused and impressed by this dog’s superior fashion sense.
Bodhi is a Shiba Inu whose first big break came in 2013, when a photo of him in menswear went viral. Since then, he has made appearances in some big name publications, from The New York Times to Time Magazine to GQ Magazine. He’s even published his own practical fashion advice book, entitled Menswear Dog Presents the New Classics: Fresh Looks for the Modern Man.
Is Bodhi cute and funny? Yes. Is he also going to teach you a thing or two about modern fashion? Also, yes. That’s his gift to the world.
Thank you, Bodhi.

Some of the most famous dogs in the world gained their fame through the hard work of looking cute all the time. Dylan, the Rough Collie, has a much more stately reason for his pupfluencer status: he’s the official First Dog of Argentina!
When Alberto Fernandez took office as president in 2019, Dylan entered into the role with grace and elegance. And while not everyone can agree upon politics, there is widespread consensus that Dylan is the most beautiful guy in the administration. You can also follow his equally handsome offspring, Procer, who graces the presidential grounds alongside his doggie dad.

Our next canine celebrities are living it up a bit closer to home in Wellington, NZ. Digby and Alo are two Brussels Griffon, a dog breed known for their charming whiskers and energetic take on life.

Watch Digby make friends with a very large cow. Imagine frolicking with the doggie duo on the beach, and feel your heart melt when you watch these two little guys curl up for a cuddle puddle at the end of a long day.
The Direwolves of Game of Thrones

Whether you watched the series or not, you undoubtedly got a glimpse of these impressive doggos at some point during the show’s 7 season run.
For those who weren’t on the GOT train, the direwolves were an especially smart and beautiful species of wolf who became just as popular—if not more so—than the human characters themselves.
And while later seasons would rely more heavily on CGI to bring these magical wolves to the screen, quite a few real-life dogs also made appearances! The types of dogs used in these scenes were Northern Inuit or Utonagan Dogs, and you can stay connected with one particular star: Thor, who played Greywind in the show.
Thor is living out his best life in the wide open spaces of Ireland, where he continues to connect with fans for occasional meet-and-greets and roam the hills of some of the infamous filming locations.
Luckily, with an engaging online presence, you don’t have to travel all the way to Ireland to follow Thor’s enviable life. His Instagram regularly features stunning photography of this spectacular pup!

BONUS: Wandi the Dingo

Okay, no. Wandi is not technically a dog – he’s a dingo! But you’ve got to admit that this adorable guy deserves his place on the list of the world’s most famous dogs.
It all started when Wandi shocked us all by falling from the sky in Victoria, probably the result of being dropped by an eagle. His rescuers found the tiny pup all alone; thinking that he was perhaps a dog or a fox, decided to take him in. It wasn’t until the vet-conducted DNA test went through that they could say definitively that Wandi was no dog! As a result, he was welcomed into the Australian Dingo Foundation sanctuary, where he still lives today.
You might gravitate to Wandi’s Instagram because of his amazing story, but you’ll stick around for a glimpse into sanctuary life. Swoon over the new dingo pups. Learn about the importance of Alpine Dingo conservation. And fall in love with Wandi and his charming pack.
We should mention, if you have a doggo that needs walking, we have just the enthusiastic Dog Walkers for you! Dingoes are not our specialty.
