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?

Leon: It all starts from my childhood when I saw Golden Retriever dogs on television shows, that's when I fell in love with the breed and started dreaming of having one. Many years later my husband gave me a beautiful Golden Retriever and my connection with her. It was immediately, I finally had the dream come true so I started taking photos and videos of anything she did, therefore all the time I was out of memory on my phone so I decided to create an Instagram for her to be able to preserve all those priceless moments with her, so since I was a baby I started posting every adventure with her on her Instagram and we began to have many followers who began to connect with each adventure or prank, so seeing so much love we began to share more and more content not only on Instagram but also on other social networks, realizing that people loved the content and asked us for more and more videos, becoming for me a way to leave a legacy of love and respect for dogs. Our content is based on the experiences of a multispecies family told through the eyes of Stormy, a beautiful Golden Retriever.

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

Leon: His hateful personality, despite his adorable appearance, captivates our audience since his breed is known for being tender and being the best company for children, but our Golden Retriever is totally different from this idea.

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

Leon: I usually record many videos throughout the day before each of her reactions, and when it's time to publish, I only choose 1 and adjust the voice according to her reaction. Additionally, there are other contents that are a little more developed, which are what we create for brands. We typically aim to tell a story in those videos.

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

Leon: Not really, every day we are more surprised by the number of positive comments, full of so much love for our content. There is no shortage of one or another bad comment, but in general, they are very few. When they leave us a poorly-intended comment, we simply do not respond. But we cannot say that it has been a challenge because everything has been very positive.

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

Leon: Let it be constant that little by little you can create a community of friends. Receiving so much love is wonderful, so don't think about it and start now

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

Leon: It has changed the way I see the world, every day I have learned about loyalty, unconditional love and patience. I think there is a before and after in my life with the arrival of Stormy

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?

Leon: Many but especially the day we wanted to take a photo with a stuffed animal, our plans were for her to pose on the stuffed animal but she decided to destroy it and didn't let us continue with the photo section 🤭

What is your favorite thing about being a dog influencer?

Leon: That wherever we go they always want to give Stormy a lot of love and always ask everything about her life.

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

Leon: We are working on our own brand of pet care products, so this year we will launch our website so that our followers can learn about our products
