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?
Rigoni: The @blondebondteam commenced in Australia in 2015 with a purpose to have fun and spread happiness posting creative content of genuine gratitude of animal-bonding.
What do you think sets your dog apart from other dogs on social media? What makes them unique or particularly interesting to your followers?

How do you come up with ideas for your dog's posts and content? Do you have a specific creative process?
Rigoni: Very reflective of my life experiences, always keeping it positive.
Have you ever faced any challenges or negativity on social media, and how have you dealt with it?
Rigoni: We have received very little, or perhaps because I tend to ignore, after all the haters are going to hate and after a deep breath, we think positive and send bad energy away.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to start their own dog influencer account or share their dog on social media?
Rigoni: For me, Social Media with my Dog has been a very powerful creative outlet after enduring relentless bullying, that has given me strength and courage to be me again, in the safest place in the world which is right by my Dog's side.
How has your dog influenced your life outside of social media?
Rigoni: Apollo provides me with the confidence to function in the community. He supports me in a more active lifestyle, attends medical appointments with me and assists me to interact and liaise with people at Post Grad University and Social events.
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?
Rigoni: Apollo is the biggest clown. I crack up he is so mischievous sometimes all I can do is laugh (I am sure he is doing it on purpose to see me laugh).
What is your favorite thing about being a dog influencer?
Rigoni: Definitely all the positive energy and vibes you receive, being an extrovert it is the happy engagement from others that drives me for sure.
Lastly, what's next for you and your dog on social media? Any exciting plans or projects in the works?
Rigoni: Our vision is to lead people to be inspired, to grow and develop their lives positively through self-love and aspirational connections.
