Today, we live in a world dominated by spectacle, where Instagram and other social networks set the pace, in a way that not even traditional media have achieved throughout history. And if you don’t believe it, look what happens with Aspen on Instagram.

It’s no secret that this authentic boom, generated since the creation of Facebook, not only changed the way journalism is done in the world, but also gave its users the possibility of immortalizing photographs and getting much closer to other people, either artists or politicians.

In other words, a window to the world that can lead you to have contact with any personality, without having to go through filters that make it impossible to send any type of message.

It should be noted that like any social network, Instagram has a series of fads typical of every individual who considers himself well-established and attractive to majorities, and occasionally used by minorities.

For example, photographs of semi-naked women, images of food and cats reign here, whereby the animal kingdom is often synthesized mostly in the figure of these felines.

However, in recent times a cute little dog has become an authentic phenomenon in this social network, reaching no less than 130 thousand followers, a figure reached only by celebrities.

Aspen, Man’s Best Friend…and Instagram

It is Aspen, a beautiful Golden Retriever from Colorado, who has become one of the most seen and loved characters on this social network by having a series of fun photographs, where he appears skating on the ice, wearing sunglasses and following his owners on a boat trip.

As is easy to guess, he is not the one who manages his account (@aspenthemountainpup) but its owner Hunter Lawrence, who remains unable to believe in the success achieved by his four-year-old dog on Instagram.

And most impressive of all is that this whole story starts with how little enthusiasm Hunter had to publish photos of his pet on this social network, until he realized that some of these were quite funny and fun.

“After talking to his wife, she told him that instead of putting Aspen photos in his account, he could open a new one where he would be able to exclusively place these types of images, plus a way to properly store them from the that to achieve fame .”

instant success

Shortly after publishing some Aspen photos, the numbers in his publications began to rise like foam, to the point where it was impossible to believe what was happening.

Is that far from being a distraction that only served to Hunter and his wife as a hobby and to see photos of their dog, many users began to see the photos and follow the Aspen account.

It turns out that this phenomenon represents, like few others, the sure bet that it means to have many animals on Instagram, since as well as other topics such as gastronomy or celebrities, animals also tend to have a lot of public on this social network.

“However, what was impossible to predict is that the Aspen account would reach the extreme of having 130,000 followers, a figure that surpasses those of some renowned politicians and public figures”

other cases

What is certain is that Aspen is not the only dog ​​that has achieved great success on social networks,  the truth is that there are others who have likewise become true phenomena on the network. These are the most prominent:

• Marutaro: a cute Shiba Inu, who is considered the happiest dog in the world.

• Marnie the dog: this is a Shih Tzu who has no less than 291,000 followers on Instagram.
• Tunameltsmyheart: Probably the best-known case of dogs on social media, as this half-breed chihuahua is known across the network for his particular smile, and has over a million followers.

As we can see, dogs also rule the web. Aspen is just one of the hundreds that populate social networks. We hope this will serve to sensitize society with your protection and care.
