Social Media Presence Of Pets

In the sombrest of situations they come to you expecting nothing in return, to offer selfless love and warmth – the only beings in your good and bad times, these fourlegged furry creatures are out there always.

Social Media Presence Of Pets

According to John Bradshaw, a research fellow at the University of Bristol in England and author of ‘The Animals Among Us: How Pets Make Us Human’, there is proof that interacting with pets does reduce people’s stress, causing changes in oxytocin and in beta-endorphins. Pets provide significant social support to humans and can help individuals alleviate feelings of being lonely.

While you are trying to distract yourself being locked up at home due to social distancing or you are just looking for inspiration to spice up your life and make it more colourful, pets play an impactful role! Similar has been the influence of social media on people. Alike pets, it allows you to lighten up your mood when you get bored from your monotonous daily routine. Pets and Social Media have changed people’s lives completely in their respective different ways. Facebook and Instagram are two of the most popular social media websites, with over 100 million registered users.

What happens when Pets and Social Media come together? – A weird but enjoyable, a strange but delightful fusion! #fampets #hugyourpug #cutiepatootie may seem like a bizarre combination of words to you, but to animal lovers, these are captions for the many pictures they ‘heart’ on Instagram daily. Like most of social media, Instagram is a heaven of adorable pet pictures. Their owners love shooting and sharing adorable pictures.
