the internets love of dogs / research - facebook

Facebook has a large array of dog meme pages. Some are quite 'normal' and some are more niche. Here I have gathered a range of pages that could be featured in my project. Some pages are dedicated to one specific dog, whereas others include a range of dogs and funny images.

Puppers UNLEASHED
Puppers UNLEASHED is a facebook page that posts dog memes that quite ironic in humour.

There is a trend for using a 'VHS' style of artwork amongst some meme pages, showing dogs in unrealistic/psychedelic scenes. Another trend is using words such as 'bork', 'pupper', 'doggo' and 'heck'. Dogs in silly situations or small dogs that look 'scary' are usually featured on Puppers UNLEASHED. The captions they use on the images are also a part of the meme, adding extra humour and context to the image.

 

Sausage Dog Central
This facebook page is dedicated to Sausage dogs rather than funny memes and takes images from lots of different places. It is a place for people who love sausage dogs and would like to see regular cute images of them. This facebook page also promotes products of sausage dogs, e.g. earrings and t-shirts.

Gabe was an extremely popular dog who was edited into various videos where he would 'sing' different songs. Unfortunately Gabe passed away in early 2017, but his legacy still lives on through the internet. The origin and explanation of the Gabe meme is explained in this video:
