Cats may be the unofficial mascots of the interwebs, but everyone's best doggie friends are starting to stake their claim in internet fame, too. After Jiffpom became an internet sensation (and probably one of your very first pup "likes"), pooches all over the globe also began to launch their own personal Instagrams (. . . er, their humans did because of that whole lack of an opposable thumb!). We're embracing our internet pet obsession because we can't get enough of their adorable, hilarious, and weird internet antics.
So, ready to bulk up your "following" list on Instagram? Check out the 20 of the best dog Instagrams that you should be following for your daily dose of adorable.

Doug the Pug
While most doggos can say they're pals with the mailman, the kid next door, and that person walking down the sidewalk, this famous pug's crew includes John Legend and Justin Bieber. Oh, and he's also appeared in a Fall Out Boy video alongside Demi Lovato and was the subject of a TIME magazine feature. Needless to say, Doug the Pug, a pug from Nashville, Tennessee, has reached celebrity status.
If Doug the Pug could talk, he'd probably also brag about his impressive social media following–with 3.8million followers on Instagram alone–and multiple (yes, multiple) appearances in major music videos, daily talk shows, award shows, and more.
