According to Salman Haqqi, a pet insurance expert and senior personal finance writer, TikTok videos with the hashtag “dog” have reached over 120 billion views to date. So, what could possibly be the reason behind our fascination with pups and their extreme popularity?
“The reason that pictures and videos of dogs are so popular online is because there’s rarely anything controversial about a well-looked-after pooch. Content often goes viral because it evokes emotions from the masses and pictures and videos of dogs simply make people feel happier when they’re watching them.”
These funny dog photos prove that all canines have a derpy side!
