Virtually every pet in America is on Instagram these days, but Marnie the Dog stands out among the rest. Not only is she adorable, but Marnie is also an advocate for rescue dogs everywhere. Originally a street dog in Connecticut, Marnie absolutely adored city life in the big apple. She sadly crossed the rainbow bridge in 2020 after living happily with her owners who gave her the sweetest ending to her one-of-a-kind life. Before she passed away, Marnie had millions of Instagram followers ogling at her adorable face, floppy tongue and charming head tilt daily.

While Marnie’s owner keeps her Instagram going with hilarious old photos of Marnie and new photos of her funny sister, Phyllis, we know Instagram users everywhere are craving a new funny-faced dog to follow. No dog can replace Marnie, but we have a few suggestions of accounts to follow that will put a smile on your face each and every day.

    If you followed Marnie strictly for the dog tongue content, you’re in luck. There’s another internet-famous dog tongue out there, belonging to Cedric the Chihuahua. Talk about a precious pooch. Cedric is tiny in size, but it’s obvious that he has a huge heart. But be warned—your heart will definitely melt as soon as you peek at his photos.

    There’s nothing little dogs can’t do. Just like larger, athletic breeds, small dogs can perform tricks and work on agility with ease. Flora and Lilly prove that in their Instagram feed. While Flora does most of the active work these days, as Lilly is older and blind, they both contribute their good looks to their Instagram account. Just look at those ears!

    Suji is arguably the most adorable elderly Pug on the planet. You can be the judge of that after browsing her Instagram photos. Suji is a rescue pup living in a big city, just like Marnie. But instead of New York, Suji lives across the border in Canada. Specifically, Suji roams the streets of Toronto like she owns the place, showing off the adorable socks she likes to wear because of her wonky legs.

    Pugs are so charming, we had to include two of them on this list. The star of this Instagram account is most definitely Digga’s big, floppy pink tongue. It’s almost always peeking out of his mouth. And when it’s not, he has a funny look of concentration on his face.
