Is This The Cutest Dog On The Internet? Some Would Say Yes!

It is no secret that I feel dogs are lovely, lovely creatures who are far superior to humans in terms of loyalty, unwavering affection and genuinely unconditional love. Quite simply, dogs make us happy. Small wonder that the internet is flooded with cute dog videos! Tucker Budzyn is one of the internet’s most famous; some would say cutest dogs. Take a look and decide:

This Golden Retriever’s Instagram page has 2.7 million followers. His YouTube channel 2.3 million subscribers. That is internet stardom by any accounts.

Tucker's friend is Linda – I suppose it Tucker’s stardom is not one whit hampered by how pretty she is.

Tucker does all the things dogs do so adorably: getting suspicious of harmless things, getting spooked by everyday objects, just being silly.

Politely declining veggies, begging for treats --- everything dog lovers identify with.

It isn't a ‘problem’, it’s a ‘pawblem’; ‘chicken’ is ‘chimken’. Get it? Tucker’s cleverly created, cutesy little thought bubbles are adorable and people clearly love them.

He has all our sympathy! Cruel, cruel human – unless that's a rubber chicken… which it likely is, because this is the internet, after all.

That fluffy armful! There is a lot of vicarious satisfaction there – enough to keep the viewer on page, wouldn’t you say?

That is one patient dog! I cannot see most dogs having the discipline not to just barge into that toilet paper fort.

Tucker Budzyn is anything you want him to be - just very cute! 

Not only is there merchandise such as this, but there are also other ways famous animals make their owners a lot of money. It may seem like just fun, fun, fun, but there is serious money involved here. There is the concept of the ‘pet influencer’ – famous pets plug and endorse products to earn thousands of dollars per video/image or post.

So each time we go Aww at a Tucker Budzyn photo or video, remember you're helping people make a lot of money and get plenty of freebies in the bargain.
