Instagram fame is an accomplishment that many would (theoretically?) kill for. Having people follow your every move on social media is pretty thrilling–just ask these Internet-famous Massachusetts-based pups. They may not actually be able to answer, but they’re not strangers to the spotlight. All of them have snagged major online popularity due to their fuzzy adorableness.
So move over, Matt and Ben–these critters just might steal your spots as Boston’s cutest celebrities.

7. Brandy and Moose
Handle: @brandy_and_moose
Number of followers: 8,250
Double trouble. Brandy, a lab mix, and Moose, a Bernese mountain dog, cheese it up regularly on their ‘gram. Oh, and they’re big-time Pats fans. Furry New England die-hards—is there anything better?
8. Fergus
Handle: @fergusthespringer
Number of followers: 2,881
This springer spaniel named Fergus–aka, Fergulicious–likes to play ball with his mom. He also likes to watch ball, apparently—another canine Pats fan to adore on the daily.

Ueli is a Berger Blanc Suisse, a Shepherd-esque breed that hails from Switzerland. To match the chicness and rarity of his breed, Ueli posts uber-aesthetic, high-quality Instagram photos that rival the top photography accounts in the area.

This 2-year-old Bulldog named Rosie hops around the South Shore, posting photos from local favorite spots like the South Shore Plaza, Pope John Paul II Park, and Castle Island. What could be better than gorgeous landmarks plus a precious pup?
11. Theo
Handle: @theodore.ahn
Number of followers: 1,637
Dog? Or real-life teddy bear? Theo is a Havanese/tiny fluff ball who hangs around the city and poses in iconic, Instagrammable spots. It’s even better when Theo does it, because Theo is more camera-ready than any of us scraggly humans.
12. Abby
Handle: @corgiabby
Number of followers: 1,247
This 13-year-old Corgi lives the New England sweet life, hanging out on the beach with her family and strolling around the city at her leisure. We’re jealous of Abby because her days are so lax. And we’re jealous of Abby’s family because she’s so precious.
13. Maya and Kobe
Handle: @maya.kobe
Number of followers: 995
Maya, a Maltipoo, and her little brother, Kobe, a Shiba Inu, stop for smile shots all around town. Sometimes, they wear bowties. And those are the best times.
Honorable mention: Callie
Callie was a golden retriever who appeared in many photos of Acorn Street, the super-notable alleyway in Beacon Hill. She passed away earlier this month. We love and miss you, Callie.
