What came first, babies with their own Instagram accounts or pets with their own Instagram accounts? Probably concurrent, if we had to guess. The point is that the platform is the perfect venue for pups, and there are plenty of four-legged pals out there that are, by IG follower count, celebrities. They have more followers than you for a reason. We rounded up 38 Northeast Ohio area dogs with thousands of followers -- and sometimes tens of thousands of followers. Peruse the list, give them a follow. Did we miss one of your favorites? Let us know.
