Today we got the honor of interviewing Sophie (Wallis'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?
Cox: I started the account because I was bombarding family and friends with photos and wanted to connect with other dog owners for education purposes. It was never intended to go viral!
What do you think sets your dog apart from other dogs on social media? What makes them unique or particularly interesting to your followers?
Cox: Wallis is small for her breed and when you a pair a small wiener dog with a large man.... the rest is history
How do you come up with ideas for your dog's posts and content? Do you have a specific creative process?
Cox: Wallis is 8 lbs of sass. She runs the show and I don't plan her content.
Have you ever faced any challenges or negativity on social media, and how have you dealt with it?
Cox: Yes - people really do feel the need to comment on every single aspect. I have gotten tons of negative comments regarding the way we do pretty much anything, down to what type of clothes we wear in the posts. Negative comments still = engagement and the positive ones far outweigh the negative so we don't take it personally.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to start their own dog influencer account or share their dog on social media?
Cox: Post every day and don't take it serious. Have fun with it.
How has your dog influenced your life outside of social media?
Cox: She has my whole heart, I cannot imagine living without her!
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?
Cox: NA
What is your favorite thing about being a dog influencer?
Cox: Meeting other dachshund owners and connecting on their unique personality traits
Lastly, what's next for you and your dog on social media? Any exciting plans or projects in the works?
Cox: Digging on the beach, always
