Indian dogs are becoming one of the cutest breeds online because of their expressive faces, loyal nature, and unique personality. With reels and online apps showing rescue stories of dogs, viewers feel inspired, motivated, and more aware about adopting dogs instead of buying them.
Take Laila as an example. Once just a normal street dog roaming the streets of Mumbai, covered in dust and fleas, Laila has now become an Instagram celebrity with more than 100K followers and a wardrobe that gives even Bollywood stars an inferiority complex.
These dogs are now becoming online stars on Instagram, YouTube, and even brand ads. Scrolling Instagram, you may expect to see a famous influencer, but what you don’t expect is a one-eyed Indie dog acting like a zombie and melting hearts and gaining millions of fans.
Some facts about these street dogs:
• Street dogs are more intelligent than breed dogs and are very resilient. This may be one reason why many of them are being adopted abroad.
• Some reels get millions of likes just because the dog smiles back.
• Because of the growing popularity of street dogs, it has also helped the growth of NGOs and rescue accounts online.
In a world chasing breed and pedigree, India’s humble street dogs are proving that fame, loyalty, and love don’t need a price tag.
