Today we got the honor of interviewing Leah (Wanda'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?
Stanley: Honestly, it was my nieces who live out of state and wanted to see the silly dog moments they were missing out on with my previous doggo Luna.
What do you think sets your dog apart from other dogs on social media? What makes them unique or particularly interesting to your followers?
Stanley: While we don’t have a large social media following as Wanda (mom does), I think sharing Wanda’s true personality is what sets us apart. We’re not striving to share the most perfect moments, just our real life story. We’ve shared about Wanda’s hip dysplasia journey and soon we’ll be sharing about her blood donor journey as well!
How do you come up with ideas for your dog's posts and content? Do you have a specific creative process?
Stanley: We let Wanda decide, aka there’s no process and it’s chaos LOL
Have you ever faced any challenges or negativity on social media, and how have you dealt with it?
Stanley: I haven’t, yet with Wanda but I do know people will always have something negative to say. And the best way to beat that, is to keep going.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to start their own dog influencer account or share their dog on social media?
Stanley: To just start! It doesn’t have to be perfect, in fact most pet owners don’t relate to perfection but the silly real life moments.
How has your dog influenced your life outside of social media?
Stanley: She has taught me so so much through her hip dysplasia diagnosis at the young age of 5 months. Wanda was a wild wild puppy, teaching me more patience each day as we worked to train her, but also realize she was trying to tell us something.
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?
Stanley: lol when Wanda went on her second camping trip, and we brought her down to the river to explore. She had seen us only stepping on stones and was doing her best to also avoid the water and only step on stones. 😂
What is your favorite thing about being a dog influencer?
Stanley: Eh, it’s just bringing joy to fellow pet lovers.
Lastly, what's next for you and your dog on social media? Any exciting plans or projects in the works?
Stanley: We’re taking it day by day but hope to post more.
