Pets and food are two of the most popular subjects on Instagram, meaning that an account that's dedicated to an adorable foodie dog must be destined for success.
The owner of 'Popeye The Foodie Dog' showcases a Los Angeles rescue dog as he dines out at a variety of restaurants in the area. Though it's not likely that Popeye eats most of the food for himself, his career as a food blogger has garnered him viral recognition.
The mutt has ears that stick up at different angles, an expressive face and a small fuzzy stature that make him especially photogenic, not to mention his comfort in wearing different outfits as he peruses the city's businesses. Popeye The Foodie Dog is shown next to everything from chicken and waffles, an In-N-Out Burger and decadent desserts.
