These Breathtaking Shenandoah Photos Prove Dogs Make the Best Instagram Models

What’s a great hike without your favorite doggo? These are the super model pups of Instagram, and Shenandoah National Park is their (huge) playground.

I went on my first 'real' hike today AND IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! #overallruntrail #hikingwithdogs #hikingdog #naturedog ~ ~ ~ #annabellethewonderaussie #akc #akcaustralianshepherd #australianshepherd #aussiepuppy #aussiesofinstagram #aussienation #aussielife #the_aussie_world #australianshepherdsofinstagram #australianshepherdworld #redaussie #redtricolor #redtriaussie #red #tanpoints #dogsofinstgram #puppiesofinstagram #puppy #puppylove #furbaby

12/10 would give up their hammock for Tucker.

Gina and Teddy on top of an unknown mountain, somewhere off the Appalachian Trail in Virginia. By the way, someone has a big birthday tomorrow. Nope, not the furry one wearing the backpack. Happy Birthday, Gina! You are an amazing person, have a heart of gold, and are the life of the room. We're so thankful to have you in our lives. Cheers ?

Sun’s out, tongue’s out.

"There's no lemon so sour that you can't make something resembling lemonade" @nbcthisisus I need this today. Ready for fresh air, being disconnected from technology, and with family living a meaningful life this weekend ❤️ #SubarusandSunsets #subaru
