If you’re thinking the internet can’t get any more niche than this, it finds a way to get even more specific.
We’re, of course, talking about an Instagram page that is solely dedicated to sharing people’s photos of dogs chilling in bags as they are being transported from point A to point B. Yes, that’s a thing.
The Instagram page has a bit over 98,000 followers, and the page itself encourages people to send in pics they snapped of dogs in carrier, or not carrier, bags. As of this article, the page has nearly 1,300 posts.
Scroll down to see our curated list on the matter, and while you’re at it, comment, vote, and why not tell us if you do the same because your dog has to be a king or a queen while in public!

This is dog is compacted and ready for travel, but his floof runneth over.
So, Instagram has so many dog pages that it should honestly launch a spin-off social medium called Dogstagram. There is a hashtag, so I guess we’ll settle for that.
The Dogstagram universe includes heaps upon heaps of accounts dedicated to worshiping dogkind, and one of these pages is a rather niche affair called BagDogs. And it’s exactly what it sounds like.
I had my brekkies, I made some poopies, now I get a ride, and then a wee nap when we get home. WHEEEE!
BagDogs is a follower-driven Instagram account that shares the best and most adorable pictures of yips, puppers, doggos and borks alike chilling in bags, backpacks, carriers and other forms of fiber containers.
And that’s about it, multiplied by almost 1,300, which is the amount of posts that the page currently has. Since its launch, the page has drawn together over 98,000 followers, hungry for more pictures of dogs in bags.
Fun fact, part of this movement of having dogs in bags was due to the fact that New York city has banned dogs in the subway—they had to be carried in bags, by which the government probably meant doggie carriers and not actual bags, but people used everything in this case, including “modified” IKEA bags.
But besides this ban, there is a certain kind of convenience both for dogs as well as owners. After all, the dogs can chill, and the owners can walk faster. Sure, everyone ought to get some exercise here, but the smaller puppers may have problems walking New York distances.
You can check out the entire page here, but don’t go just yet! We have a list of bears and a list of bunnies lined up for your entertainment. But you still have a ways to scroll, so keep at it, and put these other lists into your agenda.
I was thinking that I hope the dogs in backpacks where released as soon as they were off their transporters. Not only does it seems uncomfortable for a dog, but having 50+ pounds on your back isn't good either. I have a 55 pound shepherd mix (hence, Zoe's Mom) and I don't think I could carry her on my back. But on the other hand, I applaud these folks for taking their dogs with them when they can. We are allowed to bring dogs on any transporter in San Francisco.

Remember a lot of these pics are NYC, NYC buses and subways have a rule that non-service animals (seeing eye dog, medical alert dogs, etc) must be able to fit in a bag and be transported in the bag on the buses and subway.
MTA rules say carrier, not bag. Pet Carriers have ventilation and support, random bags do not and can be dangerous for the animals.
