Today we got the honor of interviewing Caramelo's Human. You can find a direct link to their Instagram here.
Here is their story:
Can you tell us about your journey to becoming a dog influencer? What inspired you to start sharing your dog's adventures on social media?
It all started by simply wanting to put together Caramelo's memories and adventures in one place, as if it were a photo album. But the truth is that it ended up becoming crazy on social media.
What do you think sets your dog apart from other dogs on social media? What makes them unique or particularly interesting to your followers?
What differentiates is the good disposition and creativity in showing Caramelo's daily life. We love creating themed photographs throughout the year and the colors in the photographs we think makes a lot of difference. Furthermore, we also have a section called "COOK With Melo" where we share easy and economical recipes for making homemade cookies at home.
How do you come up with ideas for your dog's posts and content? Do you have a specific creative process?
Every day I am inspired by him, Caramelo. He's a sweetie but he also has a lot of energy, so I have to take that into account. but on the Internet and in everyday life there is a lot of inspiration all around us.
Have you ever faced any challenges or negativity on social media, and how have you dealt with it?
Yes, I've dealt with it unfortunately. I think people don't realize how much it hurts the other side. However, we try not to pay attention to that kind of thing, because we created this page for fun. And that's why the world needs a lot more love, just like Caramelo gives us every day.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to start their own dog influencer account or share their dog on social media?
The best advice is to be yourself and not pay attention to what they may say. The page is yours, do it in a relaxed way.
How has your dog influenced your life outside of social media?
It had a lot of influence! We didn't even imagine it would be like this! With the success it was on social media, we have already been on TV twice and to several Pet events in Portugal, where Caramelo was a star. We have also now created Meloki Pet, a brand registered in Portugal inspired by Caramelo.
Can you tell us about a particularly memorable or funny moment you've had with your dog during one of your photo shoots or adventures?
There are many moments, because Caramelo has a lot of energy and is always an adventure in everything. But for example, when we took him to the snow for the first time, I was taking a photo of him next to a snowman, but he is so greedy that he ate the carrot that was on his nose! Poor snowman, he lost his nose before the photo was taken.
What is your favorite thing about being a dog influencer?
It's great to feel the affection of people on social media and on the street! There is no one who doesn't look at Caramelo and not smile, and that makes me very happy!
Lastly, what's next for you and your dog on social media? Any exciting plans or projects in the works?
We don't know what will come next, but whatever it is will be good. For what is done with love is true.
