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?

Hamilton: I really just wanted to show off my sweet boy because he poses so perfectly for the camera! We love going on adventures together and I thought, “why not?”

What do you think sets your dog apart from other dogs on social media? What makes them unique or particularly interesting to your followers?

Hamilton: I think my dog’s personality sets him apart from others because he is just a chill dude but he also loves love and he is super adventurous!

How do you come up with ideas for your dog's posts and content? Do you have a specific creative process?

Hamilton: At the moment no! I just post whatever I feel like but I really want to start posting more relatable dog mom things because being a mom to Finn and my 2 other crazy boys, it’s a lot but I wouldn’t have it any other way!

Have you ever faced any challenges or negativity on social media, and how have you dealt with it?

Hamilton: Honestly, I haven’t faced any challenges yet with my dogs Instagram because he is so cute, how could you hate his little face???

What advice would you give to someone who wants to start their own dog influencer account or share their dog on social media?

Hamilton: JUST DO IT!!! Who cares about others opinions, you can do anything you set your mind to and you should just show them off because they are your baby!!

How has your dog influenced your life outside of social media?

Hamilton: My dog has influenced my life more than I could have ever imagined. The love he gives me is just so pure, he genuinely is my best friend. It has made me more responsible, accountable and so much more. Being a dog mom is the best thing that has ever happened to me.

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?

Hamilton: Finn loves to adventure but I remember a time when we were paddle boarding and he just stood at the tip of the paddle board and kept looking back at me while I was paddling. He just looked so happy and he was definitely living his best life in that moment ❤️

What is your favorite thing about being a dog influencer?

Hamilton: Showing off my baby and hopefully posting relatable content for my fellow pet parents.

Lastly, what's next for you and your dog on social media? Any exciting plans or projects in the works?

Hamilton: Yes! I really want to expand his social media and show off more of his personality. I can’t wait to see what the future holds!
