Scout (@stuffonscoutshead)
Scout’s story is what most humans would consider a fairy tale. He suffered in the hands of evil creatures and was abandoned until he found his princess with a cute fringe and good makeup skills, Jen Guillen. Jen taught Scout to balance things on his head and he can now balance myriad random things such as a stack of pancakes, a slice of watermelon, and a few donuts. Yes, I am aware that it’s the food ones that impressed me the most. Scout and Jen aim to eradicate Pitbull stereotypes and raise awareness that this breed can actually be a lovable and loving kind.
Toast (@toastmeetsworld)
Toast didn’t always have a glamorous New York lifestyle. Prior to photo shoots and media appearances, Toast was a puppymill mommy whose only reason for existence then, it seemed, was to create cute and cuddly puppies. Although she has no teeth, Toast’s Instagram feed is filled with gorgeous portraits of hers. She aims to educate people on the perils of puppy mills and to strengthen her campaign to #StopPuppyMills.
Marnie the Dog (@marniethedog)
Marnie the Dog is the most popular rescue dog on Instagram with more than 1.7 million followers. Before her Instagram fame, she was an unwanted rescue dog in the shelter, and for a good reason. Marnie, who then went by the name Stinky, was really smelly, no thanks to her decaying teeth. The dog fairies had mercy on her and they sent her an angel named Shirley who took care of her and boosted her to canine fame. Marnie is famous for her signature head tilt, an effect of Vestibular Syndrome, and her long tongue. She now hobnobs with a-list celebrities such as the entire cast of The Big Bang Theory.
