The Popularity of Petfluencers & Olive the Dane’s Inspiring Story
In the vast social media landscape, pet content remains a favorite, grabbing our attention with cuteness, humor, and heartwarming moments. In this episode, Aliza discusses why we love ‘petfluencers’ and the positivity they bring to our feeds.
Our guest, Avanti Fernandes, shares the remarkable story behind her account, Olive & Daisy. When Olive went from a normal, playful puppy to being completely paralyzed, Avanti refused to give up on her and began to chronicle Olive’s journey on Instagram, along with her rescue, Daisy. By documenting Olive’s story, Avanti has been able to build a supportive community, access resources for Olive, and help raise awareness for special needs dogs.
