8 Tampa Dogs You Should Be Following on Instagram

Ever catch yourself scrolling through adorable dog videos on Facebook and Tik Tok for hours? You’re also probably the friend who has to stop to pet every good dog you walk by — and let’s be honest, we are all that friend. It’s hard not to be in Tampa, which was just named the sixth most dog friendly city in the country by WalletHub

The city is so dog friendly that Tampa has spawned its own roster of social media dog celebs. These pups are pretty good at reminding us to get outside and enjoy the Florida sunshine.

Draco & Gemma (@bordercolliedraco)

Don’t quote us, but these might be the most Instagram famous dogs in Tampa Bay. Yes, we almost cried the day we got to pet them. They are that good. Draco and his little sister Gemma are our picks for the next season of America’s Next Top Model.

Louie Otto (@tampabaefrenchie)

Honestly, this dog might live a cooler life than we do. Louie Otto’s feed ranges from munching on pretzels on the Riverwalk, yoga in Curtis Hixon Park, and happy hour at Sparkman Wharf. Don’t ask questions, just give him a follow.

Maverick the Yellow Lab may only be six months old, but he’s already, albeit self-proclaimed, “the goodest boy.” Mr. Steal Yo Girl can be seen posting about his jaunts at his favorite dog park, the new tricks he’s learned and more.

Lily Belle (@lilybellegoldoodle)

She’s beauty, she’s grace, she’s a Mini Goldendoodle with the cutest face. Lily Belle’s feed at first glance may seem like any other extra cute dogstagram, but this pup brings the “pawsitivity” we need on a day to day basis with her caption game.
