Let's face it: all animals are great. Some, however, have some tech-savvy parents who have enticed a following. Here are ten Instagram famous animals to help you fight the good fight and keep on keeping on, even when the week gets rough.
1. Crusoe the Celebrity Dachshund
GO LOOK AT THIS FREAKIN' DOG. HE HAS COSTUMES. COSTUMES!!! Find his Instagram here.
2. Marnie the Dog
Marnie is an adorable, quirky looking Shih Tzu. The 15-year-old little lady was adopted from a shelter when she was 11, and is living out her golden years with people who adore her. Check her out.
3. Norm the Pug
Norm is a pug, which automatically makes him adorable. His awesome owner, Jeremy Veach, takes him on adventures some dogs only dream of. Go follow Jeremy (and Norm)!
4. Mr. Bagel the Chinchilla
If you don't laugh when you look at this little dude and his antics, we can't be friends. This little cutie helps raise awareness to adopt instead of shop, and stay away from furs - Mr. Bagel needs his fur more than you do! Check him out.
5. Pretty John John the Bunny
Look at this bun. Buns are precious, no matter how you look at them. They have precious little feet, and precious little noses, and precious little antics... Go follow the bun.
6. Kingsley and Sailor the King Charles Caviler Spaniels
Listen, I'm biased. I own a caviler. And I can tell you, firsthand, they're the dopiest, mushiest, loviest pups, ever. Go follow these little rays of sunshine and you'll never be sad again. (Meh, maybe, I can't control your life... but they'll help).
7. Milla the Cat
Honestly? I'm not really a cat person. But this little cutie with her smushy ears and beautiful eyes never fails to make me smile. Check her out!
8. Bodega Cats of Instagram
This account doesn't follow one particular kitty, but instead documents the sheer beauty and grace that is the bodega cat. If you live somewhere with bodegas and are familiar with bodega cats, you'll appreciate this. If you don't live around bodegas and think I'm insane for promoting cats living in bodegas, I strongly recommend moving to where bodegas (and cats) are. Or just follow this account.
9. Nat Geo Wild
You won't find one specific animal here, and you won't find animals you'd like to have as pets. This account features images of, you guessed it, WILD animals rocking out in their natural habitats. It's AWESOME. Follow, follow, follow.
10. Goats of Anarchy
This is my personal favorite. Again, this account doesn't document one particular goat - instead, it documents the life of modern-day Wonder Woman, Leanne Lauricella, as she devotes her time to running a baby goat rescue, specifically for goats with special needs. Goats are arguably the greatest animals, ever, and Leanne is doing something awesome for the ones nobody wanted. The least you can do is follow her account and marvel at the rambunctiousness of a house full of baby goats (!!!). If you're feeling particularly generous, order a copy of Leanne's book, which features her story as well as pictures of goats (!!!).
