In Case You Were Wondering, Here Are The Most Famous Pets On Instagram
Non-pet owners will never comprehend the feeling of sharing every movement and expression of your pet to the world. It is almost like new parents taking millions of pictures and videos of their babies every day, but with less crying and screaming.
Without a doubt, the one platform these owners would choose to share these special moments with their furry friends is Instagram. If you scour through the social media platform today, you'll find thousands of pet accounts and you'll end up with blurry eyes just staring at all of them.
But if you're an animal lover who either needs more inspiration on how to show off your cats and dogs or you just want a new account to follow, then Instagram has done all the homework for you in their 2017 Year in Review.
