10 Really Famous Senior Dogs On Instagram

Instagram... a dog lovers paradise! If you are anything like me, my Instagram feed is full of dogs. I follow more dog accounts on Instagram than humans and I love that whatever time of day a quick scroll will fill me with joy and happiness seeing these cute, playful and mischievous doggies smiling back at me.

But while I love a puppy staring into the camera with those beautiful big eyes, there is also a space in my feed, and heart, for senior dogs! And I am not the only one who feels the same... millions of people are following suit... here is our list, in no particular order, of top ten #InstaFamousSeniorDogs

Rose (The human) started adopting Pomeranian's back in 2009 and has documented the growth of her family, learning how to take care and of course sharing the most adorable photos of her PomPoms. Her tag line: "A happy life with a bunch of dogs" Is a perfect summary of her dogtastic account.
