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?
Contreras: I’ve always loved dogs since I was a child. I learned how to train them around that time and it’s been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. Dogs truly are man’s best friend and I love showing everyone that although most people leave their dogs at home when they go on trips I think they should take them with them! Of course that comes with a lot of training as well which is a reason why most don’t but I try to encourage others to train so their befriends can go anywhere with them. Also as any owner would say I have the cutest dogs😌
What do you think sets your dog apart from other dogs on social media? What makes them unique or particularly interesting to your followers?
Contreras: I have pretty unique dogs. They look different to everyone’s dogs that you usually see. Anywhere I go everyone asks about them and their breed because they want some just like them. I would say everyone’s favorite is Togo because he looks like a wolf.
How do you come up with ideas for your dog's posts and content? Do you have a specific creative process?
Contreras: Honestly inspiration comes from anywhere but it’s pretty easy to come up with content with faces as cute as theirs
Have you ever faced any challenges or negativity on social media, and how have you dealt with it?
Contreras: If there ever is any hate I just ignore it I’m not one for drama.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to start their own dog influencer account or share their dog on social media?
Contreras: To start posting! All you have to do is be consistent and try to stand out.
How has your dog influenced your life outside of social media?
Contreras: They are my best friends they take care of me as much as I take care of them.
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?
Contreras: Some of the faces they make are so funny and I love that during some shoots there are some pictures where they look all goofy and it makes me laugh.
What is your favorite thing about being a dog influencer?
Contreras: Creating memories with my dogs.
Lastly, what's next for you and your dog on social media? Any exciting plans or projects in the works?
Contreras: Always onto the next adventure. I just got a jeep to travel all around with my dogos.
