The internet is a wonderful invention — if only because it allows us to see way more dogs than we normally would. In fact, some dogs on the internet are so famous that they have their own merch lines. Here are ten of the most famous dogs on the internet!
Marnie the Shih Tzu
Marnie is instantly recognizable for her head tilts and lolling tongue. She’s a rescue Shih Tzu who captured the hearts of millions on Instagram. She’s had the chance to meet numerous celebrities who have emulated her iconic tongue protrusions.
Manny the Frenchie
Manny is a French Bulldog who sleeps in a very adorable way. He’s a highly relatable little guy, as we can all use a nap sometimes. He’s also the mascot of the Manny and Friends Foundation, which both helps pets in need and children with serious illnesses. That’s about as wholesome as it gets.
Norbert
This extremely tiny dog often wears a gigantic bow tie and other cute clothing. He’s also an accomplished business dog, as he runs a successful line of merchandise from his Facebook page. Norbert really is astonishingly little!
Tuna
Tuna might be the least conventionally “cute” dog on this list, but that’s not a bad thing! With his noticeable overbite and recessed lower jaw, he’s an ambassador for pet adoption. His owners encourage people to adopt pets with health issues and uncommon appearances!
Kabosu (Doge)
Kabosu is well-known as the face of the joke currency Dogecoin, as well as the much earlier “Doge” meme. This adorable Shiba Inu pup has an extremely expressive face, which lends itself well to being used as an image macro. The meme was so popular that it inspired the Bitcoin parody Dogecoin, which itself became a somewhat popular cryptocurrency.
Maya (Polar Bear)
Maya, affectionately known as “Polar Bear,” is the very essence of fluffiness. She’s a huge white Samoyed who looks as cuddly as she does regal. Her Instagram account includes videos of her going about her daily life in uniquely charming Samoyed ways.
Noodle the Pug
Noodle is famous for starring in a series of prognosticating videos regarding bones. His owner would wake him and see if he stood or slumped back down into his dog bed. If he stood, it would be a “bones” day. If he didn’t, it would be a “no bones day”. This Groundhog Day-style prediction would tell fans whether it was a day for rest or a chance to push ahead with ambitions.
Shiba-San
The legendary Shiba-San once ran a tobacco stand in Japan alongside his owner. While both owner and pup have since retired, videos of Shiba-San opening the stand window to address customers continue to delight fans. He’s now a stay-at-home-dog and is enjoying his quiet retirement.
