HC: What compelled you start Dogs of Boston on Instagram?
-We both really love dogs and we miss our dogs back at home.
HC: Were you surprised by how fast you gained followers?
-Not really, since we did a ton of advertising throughout the various residence halls and were very persistent with it, we expected to gain an audience quick.
HC: How exactly did you advertise?
-We hand wrote flyers on flashcards and slid them under the doors of Suffolk’s Modern and 10 West Residence Halls.
HC: What do you see for the future of Dogs of Boston?
-We hope to start a dog walking club and to eventually turn it into a business such as selling dog apparel and Dogs of Boston merchandise.
HC: Do you think/ hope your Instagram will inspire more students to start a dog or animal Instagram’s in the future?
Yes, we hope to inspire others to share photos of their favorite animals.
HC: How can students contribute to Dogs of Boston?
