There’s nothing we wouldn’t do for our pets, but they often require a ton of discipline and patience. Brazilian-born illustrator, Ademar Vieria, creates art that depicts both the best and worst times of having a pet. 

In his new comic book, Vieira draws both heart-warming and relatable scenarios for all pet lovers. “The comics show the ups and downs of this relationship of love and companionship, between a human and his pets,” Vieira told Bored Panda.

Vieria has only been making comic strips for two years now, originally finding a career in journalism and then as a screenwriter. It was in 2020 that he started to produce comic strips as a way to express how he was feeling, and people loved it! “I saw that I had discovered a fantastic way to communicate with people,” he said.

Vieria’s comics are more versatile as well. He focuses on social issues and personal experiences in his earlier strips. However, his new graphic novel Sam & Oscar is totally inspired by his experience with his own pets—his three dogs and his cat!

Although Vieira explains that it’s difficult to format his comics into the provided Instagram format, we love seeing his new stuff, and can’t wait to see his book!

There are Instagram celebrities, and then there’s Nala Cat—arguably the biggest name out there when it comes to cat celebs. In fact, with 4.4 million fans on Instagram (yep, you’ve heard us right), Nala holds the Guinness World Record for being the most famous cat on Instagram.

Naturally, her success on Instagram translated to other social media pages, and Nala has even won Tik Toker of the Year at the 11th annual Shorty Awards. Over the years, she also gained international success outside of social media. So much so, that at one point she was even interviewed by Oprah.

Proving you don’t have to come from wealth in order to be wealthy, Nala is a classic “from rags to riches” kind of case. “The story of one kitten, Nala, starts off at a home where the owners could no longer take care of the cats and kittens because there were too many,” explained her owner Varisiri (Pookie) Methachittiphan on Nala’s personal website, where she shared how the now Insta-famous kitty began her life in a shelter.

“Nala was then taken away to the shelter where she was separated from her original family,” explained her momager. “Sadly we don’t know what happened to the rest of the cats or kittens, but when adopted, Nala was the only one left.”

“I went to my friend’s cousin’s house and we just wanted to go see some animals at the animal shelter and so I just went there without thinking that I was going to adopt a cat that day,” she further relayed. “Then, I saw her and I just couldn’t leave her, I had to take her home.”

At the time, Nala was just about five months old. But it didn’t take long for her cuteness to win over not only her new mom but what seemed like the entire internet. “I just started Instagram without actually thinking that she was going to be so famous,” admits Methachittiphan.

If you still don’t follow Nala on Instagram, it’s time you should!

There are funny-looking dogs, and then there’s Tuna. A 10-year-old mix between a Chihuahua and a Dachshund, or “Chiweenie” for short, saying Tuna is “funny-looking” is an understatement. Sporting an exaggerated overbite, a recessed jaw, and a marvelously wrinkled neck, you have to be a real sourpuss not to enjoy what this pooch has to offer.

Don’t take it from us. His 2 million followers on Instagram have sworn allegiance to his Derpiness. “If you could use a little bit of joy & laughter, you’ve come to the right place!”, reads his Instagram bio.

“This unconventional-looking dog is being used to bring joy and make people happy,” Tuna’s mother, Courtney Dasher, went on to say in an interview with Vice. Indeed, some followers have gone as far as to tattoo Tuna’s face on their bodies. Others, send in photoshopped images of the dog, showcasing his best angles.

According to Dasher she was actually taken aback by some of the reactions her pup got. “One woman showed up to a book signing who had agoraphobia—she hadn’t left her house in years,” she shared. “This woman got over her fear, just to meet Tuna!”

Tuna also makes the case for “adopt don’t shop”. The strange (albeit lovely) looking dog was adopted by Dasher at a Farmers Market in LA in 2010, when he was but a four-month-old puppy. According to Dasher, she opened his Instagram page a year later, with no real expectation for it to soar the way it has. “I felt like this was my opportunity to make a positive difference in the world, so I took a leap of faith,” says Dasher.

Here at Every Day Monkey, we love ourselves a good Insta-pet. Queso, a Chicago rescue pup now based in Kansas City had one of those “look at that face” kinda faces, which made him instantly on our radar. Part Pomeranian, part American Eskimo (a sort of Pomsky mix), his fox-like features add to his overall sassiness.

“Queso is great at posing (if treats are involved) so it doesn’t take too long to get a good picture,” shared his momager, Sarah McVey, in an interview with Swooft. “I like to consider the timing of the post and if there’s a good holiday or trending topic to partake in, but for the most part it’s all about his normal life and activities.” Those activities include digging at the beach, eating treats (with an emphasis on cheddar cheese), and kissing strangers.

Being a rescue dog, Queso has one of those “rags to riches” sort of tales. According to his now-owner, Queso was first housed in an Alabama shelter, but was lost after a flood hit the shelter. After the flood, a rescue mission carried by the Almost Home Foundation had brought Queso, alongside other stranded dogs, to Chicago.

“We first met at a foster’s home who was watching Queso while he was up for adoption,” shared McVey. “He had rashes on his belly, kennel cough, and an ear infection, but he was still smiling and happy to see us!”. Luckily, those sad days are long over and done with.

His celebrity status means that Queso has quickly outgrown his humble beginnings. These days, he is gaining fans by the hour, and McVey admits to being excited. “Queso was recognized at the airport by a stranger and it was the most exciting day ever!” she shared.

You’ve heard so many times that dogs are our best friends, but did you know that they can also be helpful around the house? This is at least true for this lovely Doberman pinscher named Amelie who lives in Lehmrade, Germany. She doesn’t shy away from doing her part in the household, and the video below proves it.

Amelie’s owner Luca Neumann said that the dog has been trained to help out for years: “We started to train her tricks when she was two years old, which means that she learned a lot…There’re some tricks which took really a long time to teach her, but this one with the dishes was quite easy for her to understand,” Laughing Squid quotes him saying.

If anyone was nervous about getting a new dog, this video should settle their worries a tad. After all, who doesn’t need another set of paws to help out around the house?

We can clearly tell that Amelie enjoys being helpful and we’re sure she’s getting plenty of treats for her good work! See how adorable she is below.

Havanese are known as the national dog of Cuba. Developed from the now extinct Blanquito de la Habana (“little white dog of Havana”), they are considered to make great pets.

Case in point: Einstein. A five-year-old Havanese rescue pup, Einstein (who also goes by the name Panda), has amassed an impressive following online, thanks to his charming personality and equally charming smile. According to his owner, Havanese dogs are generally very friendly and affectionate and are considered great lap dogs. They’re also fairly easy to train.

“If Einstein could only do one thing for the rest of his life, it would be sitting in my lap kissing my face,” joked the pupper’s owner in an interview with Hello Bark!. “He is loyal almost to a fault, and attached to my heels wherever we go.”

A fan of chickens, Einstein’s hobbies include playing chase, cuddles, and meeting new people. His dislikes, says his owner, are rain, fireworks, and angry people. “He is happy, friendly, and goofy! He loves to play with his dog and people friends alike, is a serious cuddler and with me, is absolutely the stereotypical ‘velcro dog.’”

He has also become known for his rainbow-colored tail. But with so much fur, his profuse coat needs to be thoroughly combed at least twice per week. Talk about upkeep!

The Youtube channel The Q recently shared a funny video showing an experiment done on a cat. They wanted to see how far a cat will reach through a hole in the box in order to catch a treat. Spoiler alert: it’s more than you think.

“In today’s video, I want to show a cool experiment with my cat 🙂 I always wondered how far he could grab food. Today we will get an answer,” the video description reads.

We must admit that this is one determined cat. The video will show you once again that cats don’t really act by the laws of physics. Not only they can turn into liquid and take up any shape, they apparently can stretch as much as possible in order to retrieve food! Watch the video below.

With millions of fans online (on platforms like Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok), Mocha the black and tan pom has gained celebrity status. “I started to take a lot of photos of Mocha and I wanted to share these with others to make them happy as much as she makes me,” shared her owner in an interview with Hello Bark.

According to her owner, she was looking for a dog for some time and began researching small breeds. “That’s when I came across Pomeranians and fell in love instantly!” she says, adding that she loves how fluffy they are how tiny their faces look under all that fluff.

“They do need a lot of grooming though,” she notes. “So I always make time (even if it is just for 10 minutes) just to brush her fur so she doesn’t get any knots. You would be surprised how easily and quickly their coats can get knotted.”

According to Mocha’s owner, Pomeranians make great pets, being loving, affectionate, and smart. “I’m a first time dog owner as well and there is nothing that I can say about going against it,” she adds. “I also recommend any first time Pomeranian owners to get them used to being groomed and brushed due to their long coat, they need regular grooming.”

Chances are you’ve seen a video clip of Minnie and Max without even realizing it. The world-famous head-tilting pugs have gained international attention thanks to a viral video of them. Invited on TV shows as big as The Tonight Show and Ellen, the two have gained celebrity status.

“It always fun to run into people who recognize them,” said their owners in an interview with Hello Bark. “We ran into a fan jogging in Chicago who stopped us on the street. We occasionally see fans who obviously recognize them but don’t want to bother us. They should know we’re always happy to stop for a photo. Almost everyone says we look smaller in person. They also tell us that following them brightens their day. That means a lot to us.”

According to their owners, despite being litter-mates, Minnie and Max have quite distinct personalities. While Minnie is said to be very smart, focused, energetic, and self-confident, Max is sweet, devoted, and relatively reserved and shy. “One of the great things about having two pugs is they always have each other, even when no humans are around,” they note. “Minnie and Max are very bonded. They usually hang out together and use each other as pillows. Plus, it’s always nice for each human to have their own pug next to them at all times.”

You can follow their antics on Instagram, Facebook or YouTube.

You’ve heard so many times that dogs are our best friends, but did you know that they can also be helpful around the house? This is at least true for this lovely Doberman pinscher named Amelie who lives in Lehmrade, Germany. She doesn’t shy away from doing her part in the household, and the video below proves it.

Amelie’s owner Luca Neumann said that the dog has been trained to help out for years: “We started to train her tricks when she was two years old, which means that she learned a lot…There’re some tricks which took really a long time to teach her, but this one with the dishes was quite easy for her to understand,” Laughing Squid quotes him saying.

If anyone was nervous about getting a new dog, this video should settle their worries a tad. After all, who doesn’t need another set of paws to help out around the house?

We can clearly tell that Amelie enjoys being helpful and we’re sure she’s getting plenty of treats for her good work! See how adorable she is below.

Havanese are known as the national dog of Cuba. Developed from the now extinct Blanquito de la Habana (“little white dog of Havana”), they are considered to make great pets.

Case in point: Einstein. A five-year-old Havanese rescue pup, Einstein (who also goes by the name Panda), has amassed an impressive following online, thanks to his charming personality and equally charming smile. According to his owner, Havanese dogs are generally very friendly and affectionate and are considered great lap dogs. They’re also fairly easy to train.

“If Einstein could only do one thing for the rest of his life, it would be sitting in my lap kissing my face,” joked the pupper’s owner in an interview with Hello Bark!. “He is loyal almost to a fault, and attached to my heels wherever we go.”

A fan of chickens, Einstein’s hobbies include playing chase, cuddles, and meeting new people. His dislikes, says his owner, are rain, fireworks, and angry people. “He is happy, friendly, and goofy! He loves to play with his dog and people friends alike, is a serious cuddler and with me, is absolutely the stereotypical ‘velcro dog.’”

He has also become known for his rainbow-colored tail. But with so much fur, his profuse coat needs to be thoroughly combed at least twice per week. Talk about upkeep!

The Youtube channel The Q recently shared a funny video showing an experiment done on a cat. They wanted to see how far a cat will reach through a hole in the box in order to catch a treat. Spoiler alert: it’s more than you think.

“In today’s video, I want to show a cool experiment with my cat 🙂 I always wondered how far he could grab food. Today we will get an answer,” the video description reads.

We must admit that this is one determined cat. The video will show you once again that cats don’t really act by the laws of physics. Not only they can turn into liquid and take up any shape, they apparently can stretch as much as possible in order to retrieve food! Watch the video below.

With millions of fans online (on platforms like Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok), Mocha the black and tan pom has gained celebrity status. “I started to take a lot of photos of Mocha and I wanted to share these with others to make them happy as much as she makes me,” shared her owner in an interview with Hello Bark.

According to her owner, she was looking for a dog for some time and began researching small breeds. “That’s when I came across Pomeranians and fell in love instantly!” she says, adding that she loves how fluffy they are how tiny their faces look under all that fluff.

“They do need a lot of grooming though,” she notes. “So I always make time (even if it is just for 10 minutes) just to brush her fur so she doesn’t get any knots. You would be surprised how easily and quickly their coats can get knotted.”

According to Mocha’s owner, Pomeranians make great pets, being loving, affectionate, and smart. “I’m a first time dog owner as well and there is nothing that I can say about going against it,” she adds. “I also recommend any first time Pomeranian owners to get them used to being groomed and brushed due to their long coat, they need regular grooming.”

Chances are you’ve seen a video clip of Minnie and Max without even realizing it. The world-famous head-tilting pugs have gained international attention thanks to a viral video of them. Invited on TV shows as big as The Tonight Show and Ellen, the two have gained celebrity status.

“It always fun to run into people who recognize them,” said their owners in an interview with Hello Bark. “We ran into a fan jogging in Chicago who stopped us on the street. We occasionally see fans who obviously recognize them but don’t want to bother us. They should know we’re always happy to stop for a photo. Almost everyone says we look smaller in person. They also tell us that following them brightens their day. That means a lot to us.”

According to their owners, despite being litter-mates, Minnie and Max have quite distinct personalities. While Minnie is said to be very smart, focused, energetic, and self-confident, Max is sweet, devoted, and relatively reserved and shy. “One of the great things about having two pugs is they always have each other, even when no humans are around,” they note. “Minnie and Max are very bonded. They usually hang out together and use each other as pillows. Plus, it’s always nice for each human to have their own pug next to them at all times.”

You can follow their antics on Instagram, Facebook or YouTube.
