Beauty might not be defined by your size, but in the case of one tiny pupster—size makes all the difference. When you consider his miniature size, Chihuahua Cedric is making quite a splash online, amassing some 60,000 followers on Instagram.

His posts most often reference his size, as he stands beside various fruits and vegetables. Larger than an apple, his size might be compared to that of a pineapple. The delicate pooch is often seen sticking his tongue out, or stretching his paw out for a high-five.

According to Cedric’s owners, he was actually left last in his litter because of his (rather adorable) overbite. “I was the last puppy left in the litter that no one wanted because I have a severe overbite,” said Cedrick in an interview with Dog Whisperer HQ. “My humans knew my biological father and that’s how they learned about me. They had been wanting a small dog that they could easily travel with.”

“When they first saw me in person, they were surprised,” noted the pup. “I had seemed much bigger in the photos and videos. They were terrified that they would accidentally step on me or hurt me. We got to know each other over a few weeks and they stopped worrying as they saw I was very smart and careful.”

We can’t think of one good reason for not following tiny Cedric. Recent videos include comparisons between Cedric and Easter eggs and a compilation of impressive dog tricks he’s learned over the years.

Remix the Dog is an embodiment of the expression “if you’ve got it, flaunt it!” The Miniature Schnauzer has earned a spot in the fashion world thanks to his flawless style. His wardrobe includes horn-rimmed glasses, Hawaiian shirts, and colorful bandanas. In other words: he makes for the perfect companion for a summer vacation.

“His collection of Hawaiian shirts work well in the Miami weather,” remarked his owner Chris Ha in an interview with Django. “He is sort of known for sporting sunglasses. When I put them on his head, he freezes in place, which is actually perfect for taking photos.”

Based in Toronto, Canada, Remix’s fashion career has taken him around the world, from California to Puerto Rico. And with a following of nearly 146,000 on Instagram and features in top-tier fashion publications like ELLE, Glamour, and Mr. Porter, this stylish puppy is making a splash both online and offline.

“When I first started Remix’s account, I spent a lot more time on it,” says Ha. “Now, I spend 3 to 4 hours a week on it. I shoot a lot of content ahead of time. Whenever I am, I take photos or videos in a few different ways. Then I post it as I go, so I do not have to focus on it constantly.”

One of Remix’s best features: his carefully trimmed beard. His fluff has also earned him the nickname “Stylish Bearded Pupster”. Other nicknames include “Grumpy Pup”.

Show him some love (and respect!) on Instagram!

Nothing brings us more joy than silly-looking pups, especially if those pups sport a cute overbite. We’re hardly alone with our fascination with derpy dogs. Case in point: Instagram megastar Tuna. A 10-year-old Chiweenie (a mix between a Chihuahua and a Dachshund), Tuna has so far amassed a following of 2 million strong and is obviously more famous than we’ll ever be.

Adopted in 2010 at a Farmers Market in LA when he was a four-month-old puppy, Tuna’s owner, Courtney Dasher, admits she never thought of her pup as a celebrity in the making. But only two years later, he skyrocketed to fame after Instagram featured a picture of him on their personal page.

“This unconventional-looking dog is being used to bring joy and make people happy,” Dasher shared in an interview with Vice. As it turns out, Tuna also helps others overcome their fears. “One woman showed up to a book signing who had agoraphobia—she hadn’t left her house in years,” Dasher recalled. “This woman got over her fear, just to meet Tuna!”

Making the case for adopt-don’t-shop, Tuna also lends a helping paw to others in need. Most recently he appeared in an Essential Edition calendar, honoring Essential/Key workers. According to his owner, a dollar of every sale, plus a portion of proceeds, went towards benefiting multiple rescue organizations.

5-year-old dachshund Harley (AKA Harlso the Balancing Hound) is an internet sensation thanks to his amazing balancing act. With more than 50 million views (!) on his social media pages, it seems like there’s nothing this adorable pooch can’t balance on his head.

“He loves balancing,” assure his owners in an interview with BBC News. “Some people message saying that he looks sad… but that’s just his face! Its how they look! He loves it.” According to his humans, “Its all a bit of fun, but if any of the readers want to suggest something, he’ll give anything a go.”

A post shared by Harlso the Balancing Hound (@harlso_the_balancing_hound) on

Some of his viral photos include him balancing rubber ducks, a pile of donuts, and a hotdog. But it all started with a toy chicken. “My talent was unearthed by chance that night,” reads a blog post on Harley’s website. “I made dad throw my favorite toy chicken 34628193 times until he could throw no more. (1-0 Harlso). He thought it would be funny to balance it on my head… little did he know, I’ve a head flatter than his jokes. Sometimes he uses them to caption my posts… DAD JOKES… how embarrassing.”

Indeed, Harley’s owners say he has the perfect, flattest head. “He can’t do any normal tricks, sit or anything. Balancing things on his head is the only thing he can do.” Good boy Harley!

When it comes to Instagram dogs, there’s no such thing as too many. Case in point: Einstein the Havanese rescue pup. Though small in size, his name attests to his great importance, at least when it comes to Instagram dogs. With almost 20k followers, you don’t have to take our word for that.

With chases, face kisses, and tail waggings, all being his favorite pastimes, Einstein is also described by his owner as a kindred spirit. “One of my favorites is when a close friend brought her newborn to meet us,” he shared a sweet memory of Einstein in an interview with Hello Bark! “I wasn’t sure how Einstein would do with the baby, but he was incredibly sweet and gentle with her. It was wonderful to see how caring he was with this tiny baby, and over the years their bond has gotten stronger and stronger.”

“If Einstein could only do one thing for the rest of his life, it would be sitting in my lap kissing my face,” he added, fondly. “He is loyal almost to a fault, and attached to my heels wherever we go.”

Being a rescue dog is also an important part of Einstein’s identity. “I was ready for a small dog, and was visiting shelters almost every day to find one that was a good fit,” he recalled. “One morning, I walked into a shelter and Einstein had been rescued the night before – there he was, staring up at me. I saw that he was a Havanese and I instantly knew he was my dog.”

Another reminder to you to adopt not shop!

After seeing a picture of Gringo – a 3 months old British Shorthair up for adoption – Sabrine and Romain knew instantly he was the one. But even they couldn’t imagine that he would be such an Instagram sweetheart. Now, only a year after adopting him, Gringo has more than 50k followers – a fanbase that is growing by the hour.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B6VorBwqepl/

“Gringo is a happy kitty, full of life and with a really nice personality,” Sabrine shared in an interview with Just Something. “He loves to play all day and all night, get up to mischief like climbing on curtains, scratching the couch and jumping in the plants.”

But of course, it was his white mustache which first caught their attention. Nicknamed “Mustache Tornado,” his hyperactive personality means there’s never a shortage of chaos around the house. According to Sabrine, Gringo can stand on his back paws, just like a meerkat. “He can stay a couple of minutes in that position, and it’s hilarious,” she says.

He’s also a huge fan of anything food-related. “Gringo always sniffs our plates to see if there’s something good for him to eat, and he likes to steal our sponge from the kitchen just to chew it, so we have to hide it every time,” says his owner.

Check this kitty out!

What’s better than a dog? A dog playing a musical instrument. Introducing: Acoustic Trench – a musical duo consisting of Trench, a musician, and his dog Maple. A multi-instrumentalist, Trench can play the guitar, harp, cello, and a dozen other instruments, while Maple tags along, sometimes “playing” the drums, other times intently listening.

The results are viral videos of a dog and a talented musician. And yes, it’s as good as it sounds. The two cover popular songs and hits (including some of our favorite rock and roll tunes) and have a huge catalog of music videos that they post on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram.

In some of their more recent videos, you can also spot another member of the family: a rescue pup named Cherry. “She’s very shy & timid as she had a tough life before adoption but with lots of love and patience she’s learning to trust again and she has become very attached to Maple,” Trench wrote on his Twitter page. “She’s tiny and sweet, she’s Cherry.”

You can support this musical duo on Patreon, where you’ll also be able to download mp3s of all of their music. Here are some of our favorite covers by them:

At only 3-lb, Norbert has achieved what most humans would dream of. A registered therapy dog, author, and philanthropist, he’s also got a following of more than 800k on Instagram. Tounge out, ears askew, he’s mostly seen with his paw raised up for a high-five. “Norbert is one of the internet’s most popular therapy dogs,” said the San Francisco Globe; “His cuteness is transcendent,” wrote Time.

Part Chihuahua-part Small Poodle he’s 100% adorable, with a knack for making other people smile. A trained therapy dog, Norbert volunteers at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and by special request, putting his fame into good use.

But life didn’t start all that easy for the tiny pooch. His mom, Julie Steines, adopted him when he was 4 months old through PetFinder.com. The only puppy in his litter, he was not in a shelter or rescue, but needed a special kind of home due to his tiny size.

Steines opted to name him Norbert after the dragon from Harry Potter, the American mathematician and philosopher Norbert Wiener, and Saint Norbert of Xanten. A great name for an even greater dog!

At three-years-old, New York City-based pooch, Sprout, has already made a name for himself, thanks to his incredibly cute pout. Sporting various costumes and outfits (as most Insta-dogs do), the Brussel Griffon has amassed more than 145k fans on Instagram. “Just trying to make it in the hustle and Brussel of NYC,” reads his witty (as in dad-humor witty) tagline.

With his name hinting at the vegetable, his nicknames include Sproutie, Sproutito, Bandito, Puppito, Puppers, Sweet Potato and, when he’s feeling especially cheeky, Sir Sproutie Von Brusselington. “I am a smooth-coated Brussels Griffon, which is a type of dog, not a woodland critter, gremlin, ewok or other mythical creature,” reads his website.

But worry not, though he looks pouty, this pooch enjoys living the high-life. According to his owner, Sprout’s hobbies include sidewalk cafes, rooftop parties, Central Park, and sleeping on the subway.  “On occasion, I engage in dog-like behavior, namely, playing fetch, barking incessantly at toys I have intentionally dropped off the couch, and zooming around the living room for no apparent reason,” says his website.

Legend has it that somewhere out there exists a Pomeranian without an Instagram account. Pom Pom Chewy (or Chewy for short) isn’t such pooch. But judging by his online persona and stylish outfits, he deserves all the likes he can get. The cream and white Pomeranian has a busy lifestyle, working as an actor and model, with features that include independent films like Humor Me.

With more than 50k followers on Instagram, he’s clearly a fan favorite. His social media pages include shots of him dressed in stylish outfits, forever fluffy, and always striking a pose. His favorite pastimes are dressing up and making appearances across North-America. “He’s very aware and also curious,” said his owner in an interview with Hello Bark. “He can tell how the people around him are feeling and will act accordingly. He loves playing fetch and find the toy.”

But it took Chewy some time to make it as an Instagram pooch. A rescue from Northern Ontario, he was born sick and skittish, and his owners were afraid he wasn’t going to make it. He was also very scared of people and often hid under the couch. Luckily, with proper care and lots of love he’s now a happy dog. He also enjoys bonding with children and accompanies his mother – a teacher – to her workplace.

Good boy Pom Pom Chewy!

When it comes to Instagram dogs, there’s no such thing as too many. Case in point: Einstein the Havanese rescue pup. Though small in size, his name attests to his great importance, at least when it comes to Instagram dogs. With almost 20k followers, you don’t have to take our word for that.

With chases, face kisses, and tail waggings, all being his favorite pastimes, Einstein is also described by his owner as a kindred spirit. “One of my favorites is when a close friend brought her newborn to meet us,” he shared a sweet memory of Einstein in an interview with Hello Bark! “I wasn’t sure how Einstein would do with the baby, but he was incredibly sweet and gentle with her. It was wonderful to see how caring he was with this tiny baby, and over the years their bond has gotten stronger and stronger.”

“If Einstein could only do one thing for the rest of his life, it would be sitting in my lap kissing my face,” he added, fondly. “He is loyal almost to a fault, and attached to my heels wherever we go.”

Being a rescue dog is also an important part of Einstein’s identity. “I was ready for a small dog, and was visiting shelters almost every day to find one that was a good fit,” he recalled. “One morning, I walked into a shelter and Einstein had been rescued the night before – there he was, staring up at me. I saw that he was a Havanese and I instantly knew he was my dog.”

Another reminder to you to adopt not shop!

After seeing a picture of Gringo – a 3 months old British Shorthair up for adoption – Sabrine and Romain knew instantly he was the one. But even they couldn’t imagine that he would be such an Instagram sweetheart. Now, only a year after adopting him, Gringo has more than 50k followers – a fanbase that is growing by the hour.

“Gringo is a happy kitty, full of life and with a really nice personality,” Sabrine shared in an interview with Just Something. “He loves to play all day and all night, get up to mischief like climbing on curtains, scratching the couch and jumping in the plants.”

But of course, it was his white mustache which first caught their attention. Nicknamed “Mustache Tornado,” his hyperactive personality means there’s never a shortage of chaos around the house. According to Sabrine, Gringo can stand on his back paws, just like a meerkat. “He can stay a couple of minutes in that position, and it’s hilarious,” she says.

He’s also a huge fan of anything food-related. “Gringo always sniffs our plates to see if there’s something good for him to eat, and he likes to steal our sponge from the kitchen just to chew it, so we have to hide it every time,” says his owner.

Check this kitty out!

What’s better than a dog? A dog playing a musical instrument. Introducing: Acoustic Trench – a musical duo consisting of Trench, a musician, and his dog Maple. A multi-instrumentalist, Trench can play the guitar, harp, cello, and a dozen other instruments, while Maple tags along, sometimes “playing” the drums, other times intently listening.

The results are viral videos of a dog and a talented musician. And yes, it’s as good as it sounds. The two cover popular songs and hits (including some of our favorite rock and roll tunes) and have a huge catalog of music videos that they post on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram.

In some of their more recent videos, you can also spot another member of the family: a rescue pup named Cherry. “She’s very shy & timid as she had a tough life before adoption but with lots of love and patience she’s learning to trust again and she has become very attached to Maple,” Trench wrote on his Twitter page. “She’s tiny and sweet, she’s Cherry.”

You can support this musical duo on Patreon, where you’ll also be able to download mp3s of all of their music. Here are some of our favorite covers by them:

At only 3-lb, Norbert has achieved what most humans would dream of. A registered therapy dog, author, and philanthropist, he’s also got a following of more than 800k on Instagram. Tounge out, ears askew, he’s mostly seen with his paw raised up for a high-five. “Norbert is one of the internet’s most popular therapy dogs,” said the San Francisco Globe; “His cuteness is transcendent,” wrote Time.

Part Chihuahua-part Small Poodle he’s 100% adorable, with a knack for making other people smile. A trained therapy dog, Norbert volunteers at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and by special request, putting his fame into good use.

But life didn’t start all that easy for the tiny pooch. His mom, Julie Steines, adopted him when he was 4 months old through PetFinder.com. The only puppy in his litter, he was not in a shelter or rescue, but needed a special kind of home due to his tiny size.

Steines opted to name him Norbert after the dragon from Harry Potter, the American mathematician and philosopher Norbert Wiener, and Saint Norbert of Xanten. A great name for an even greater dog!

At three-years-old, New York City-based pooch, Sprout, has already made a name for himself, thanks to his incredibly cute pout. Sporting various costumes and outfits (as most Insta-dogs do), the Brussel Griffon has amassed more than 145k fans on Instagram. “Just trying to make it in the hustle and Brussel of NYC,” reads his witty (as in dad-humor witty) tagline.

Would u like fries w that? 🍟 #nationalfrenchfryday #puptato

A post shared by Sprout (@brussels.sprout) on

With his name hinting at the vegetable, his nicknames include Sproutie, Sproutito, Bandito, Puppito, Puppers, Sweet Potato and, when he’s feeling especially cheeky, Sir Sproutie Von Brusselington. “I am a smooth-coated Brussels Griffon, which is a type of dog, not a woodland critter, gremlin, ewok or other mythical creature,” reads his website.

But worry not, though he looks pouty, this pooch enjoys living the high-life. According to his owner, Sprout’s hobbies include sidewalk cafes, rooftop parties, Central Park, and sleeping on the subway.  “On occasion, I engage in dog-like behavior, namely, playing fetch, barking incessantly at toys I have intentionally dropped off the couch, and zooming around the living room for no apparent reason,” says his website.

Legend has it that somewhere out there exists a Pomeranian without an Instagram account. Pom Pom Chewy (or Chewy for short) isn’t such pooch. But judging by his online persona and stylish outfits, he deserves all the likes he can get. The cream and white Pomeranian has a busy lifestyle, working as an actor and model, with features that include independent films like Humor Me.

With more than 50k followers on Instagram, he’s clearly a fan favorite. His social media pages include shots of him dressed in stylish outfits, forever fluffy, and always striking a pose. His favorite pastimes are dressing up and making appearances across North-America. “He’s very aware and also curious,” said his owner in an interview with Hello Bark. “He can tell how the people around him are feeling and will act accordingly. He loves playing fetch and find the toy.”

But it took Chewy some time to make it as an Instagram pooch. A rescue from Northern Ontario, he was born sick and skittish, and his owners were afraid he wasn’t going to make it. He was also very scared of people and often hid under the couch. Luckily, with proper care and lots of love he’s now a happy dog. He also enjoys bonding with children and accompanies his mother – a teacher – to her workplace.

Good boy Pom Pom Chewy!
