Today we got the honor of interviewing Emily (Hope'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?
Brown: So many people love Hope and want to know what she's been doing, that I decided to make her an Instagram page so they can follow along. Everyone is always excited when they hear she has an Instagram page!
What do you think sets your dog apart from other dogs on social media? What makes them unique or particularly interesting to your followers?
Brown: She is ALWAYS happy! She's a white golden retriever, so that makes her stand out and she's just pretty. Every person who meets her comments on how beautiful she is. She's also very well mannered and knows lots of tricks.
How do you come up with ideas for your dog's posts and content? Do you have a specific creative process?
Brown: I try to make something that seems interesting to others, is current and includes current photos or videos I have.
Have you ever faced any challenges or negativity on social media, and how have you dealt with it?
Brown: I have been lucky because I honestly have not yet.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to start their own dog influencer account or share their dog on social media?
Brown: Be true to yourself and don't try to be anything that you aren't.
How has your dog influenced your life outside of social media?
Brown: I got Hope after I finished treatment for breast cancer, thus her name. She has given me so much joy and laughter since I got her. She's given me a purpose and something to look forward to day after day.
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?
Brown: I kept trying to get Hope to smile one day when we were just lounging at home. She would turn her head back toward me, but not smiling. Finally she turned her head back and she was smiling, but with her tongue hanging out and upside down. I burst out laughing. It was like she got fed up and said "Fine, here you go!"
What is your favorite thing about being a dog influencer?
Brown: Sharing her with other people.
Lastly, what's next for you and your dog on social media? Any exciting plans or projects in the works?
Brown: It's almost summer so I plan on taking her to the lake more this year and hoping that she feels more comfortable. Last year she wanted to jump in the water off the dock, but couldn't make herself. I'm hoping she's braver this year!
