Today we got the honor of interviewing Bec (Waldorf, Astoria (known as Poody) & Magnolia'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?
Bebbington: We kind of just fell into it to be honest, when we welcomed Waldorf into our lives in 2019 we decided to make an Instagram account for him, I was in a job I disliked, but the Instagram account gave me a pretty special place to escape to and somewhere I had the opportunity to use the creative part of my brain, we had also just moved to a new city so it was a great way to make friends with dogs that lived close by, but more than that... all around the world
What do you think sets your dog apart from other dogs on social media? What makes them unique or particularly interesting to your followers?
Bebbington: A couple of things for us, the dogs drive a leopard porsche and ford ranger, plus we are one of the very few french bulldog adventure accounts we love sharing our adventures and showing people that frenchies aren't the couch potatoes they are made out to be, so long as you keep them healthy
How do you come up with ideas for your dog's posts and content? Do you have a specific creative process?
Bebbington: Honestly, we fly by the seat of our pants! occasionally I will scout a location but mostly I have ideas come to me and literally just run with it at the time.
Have you ever faced any challenges or negativity on social media, and how have you dealt with it?
Bebbington: I think now, when you have a reel go viral there is always going to be negativity, I just view the negativity as an extra comment that gives your content more push. We always reply diplomatically.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to start their own dog influencer account or share their dog on social media?
Bebbington: Keep it fun! If it feels like a chore, or your dog isn't enjoying it, it isn't right! I've definitely been in this position before, so now I try to create content that's based around our life which makes it so much easier.
How has your dog influenced your life outside of social media?
Bebbington: Wow! the dogs have completely changed my life, I was once very career focused, loved my holidays and eating out, nowadays I'm a real homebody and live a life that the dogs can enjoy with us as a family
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?
Bebbington: Not funny at the time but I did rupture my MCL trying to get a photo back in 2020
What is your favorite thing about being a dog influencer?
Bebbington: Inspiring others to get out there and adventure with their dogs and all of the wonderful friendships we've made over the years with business owners and pet owners - some of whom we have met in real life and can truly call some of our best friends
Lastly, what's next for you and your dog on social media? Any exciting plans or projects in the works?
Bebbington: We are planning more travels, plus we have just offered subscriptions to share our knowledge on how to become a pet influencer
