According to a member of the DogueIG team, they wanted to focus on how "beautiful and versatile dogs are." That and their desire to feature dogs in an original way inpired them to create their Instagram page.

"They are cute and sweet but I also wanted to show some beauty in a fun, easy way," a representative of the Dogue page told us. They added that the idea to create the page started with a Dogue cover of Igor the dog.

"I just wander around Instagram, looking for interesting dogs. Its amazing how many amazing faces you can get. As soon as the pandemic is over, I'm going to show some covers with shelter dogs to give them a platform to find new owners," the DogueIG rep told us about how they choose which dogs to feature on their Dogue covers.

"Making all of these covers is just pure joy for me, I hope that looking at them brings a smile to you and others," they added.

The DogueIG page is freshly-minted, has published only 28 posts, and has fewer than 500 followers at the time of writing. But we see it making it big if internet users keep up the momentum and the Dogue Challenge gets even more popular.

Funnily enough, Vogue has a proud history of featuring dogs in the magazine’s pages and writing about them. In 1930, British Vogue wrote, “The next best thing to having the world at your feet is to have a dog at your heels.”

While back in 1924, Vogue warned that dogs are a reflection of our characters. And sometimes we might not like what gets revealed about ourselves.

“You can always tell by the dog because he is an unfailing guide to his owner’s character. If you have hateful personal characteristics to hide, avoid owning one, or it will bear your secret to the world—on four legs and a leash.”

In other words, don’t get a dog if you secretly have a bad character because the entire world will learn about it.
