The Social Media Hashtag That Will Make Your Heart Melt Again & Again

If you’re having one of those days where you need a quick “pick me up” or just love babies with pets, the hashtag #babyandpug that is popular on Instagram is for you. Babies with any type of furry creature is adorable, but there’s something about the melancholic, confused pup next to a baby that is particularly engineered to make your heart melt.

Here are my favorites:

They got pretty comfortable together. #babyandpug #pugpal #pugstagram #puglife #puglove

19-04-2017 – Um registro dos nossos passeios matinais. Greg e Vivi estão acostumados a passear todos os dias cedo, mas aqui eles estão sendo legais comigo e a mamãe e esperam um pouco para gente ir. Com esse friozinho, eu durmo até mais tarde, e assim quando acordo já esta mais quentinho e vamos todos na pracinha. #babyandpug #babygirl #babyanddog

Heute ist ein super schönes angenehmes Wetter! Da kann man auch mal lange spazieren gehen. Bei über 30°C fällt mir die kleine maus um. Es ist auch eine Quälerei für das Tier bei solch Temperaturen lange Spaziergänge zu machen. Dann lieber kurz aber öfter! Wie macht ihr das bei hohen Temperaturen draußen? ▪️ ▪️ ▪️ ▪️ ▪️ ▪️ ▪️ ▪️ ▪️ #ilovemydog #dognation #pug #puglife #pugsofinstagram #pugsnotdrugs #pugs #puglove #pugstagram #pugnation #pugoftheday #pugworld #puglover #puglovers #pugmania #puppy #pugbasement #puglife #pugsandkisses #pugface #pugdog #pugaday #pugsofinstagram #pugsrule #speakpug #badasspugclub #pawsomepugs #babyandpug #lifewithdogandbaby
