There’s An Online ‘Dog Spotting’ Group Where People Share Unexpected Encounters With Dogs – Here’s 30 Of The Best

Dogs are always picture perfect. They look so good on camera that we can’t help but feel jealous of how photogenic they are. The biggest proof of this is the Facebook group Dogspotting. This online community welcomes everyone to share photos of random dogs they’ve met. If you want to join the group, there is one particular restriction. And that is to NOT post photos of dogs that you personally know. In other words, photos of your pets or dogs that you’ve met before are considered ineligible for submission.

The Facebook group provides innumerable photos of adorable random dogs that people met unexpectedly out of nowhere. It currently has over 1.8 million members and the page has been a favorite hangout for dog lovers. If you’re ever in need of cute canine photos then this page is really worth the visit. Plus, the photos are as random as can be. So, if you happen to stumble upon an adorable dog that you haven’t seen before, snap some photos of it and post them on the page.

 

People Can Share Pics Of Dogs They’ve Randomly Met On The Facebook Group Dogspotting

But, There are certain conditions that you must meet if you intend to join the Dogspotting group and post dog photos. Aside from posting ONLY pics of random dogs, the page would also reject submissions that are taken from places where dogs are expected to be found. These include dog parks, pet shops, vet clinics, groomers and pet shows. Moreover, the page condemns submissions showing dogs in distress. The admins keep encouraging all members to NOT force any random dogs into posing for the camera just to get a perfect shot.

Dogspotting Shows How Some Dogs Love The Camera To

We also have to understand that dogs are different. While some doggos would gladly pose for the camera, other random dogs may be intimidated by the sight of it. But these dogs don’t seem to mind getting their pics taken by some strangers. We’ve gathered the cutest photos from the Dogspotting page to show that dogs are the purest and loveliest creatures in the world.
