A Startup is Hiring a 'Social Petworking Coach' to Help People Make Their Furry Friends Instagram Stars
The bizarre world of social media fame has reached a new level of weirdness.
Petlandia, a London-based company that makes books featuring people's pets as the star, is looking for the world's first "social petworking coach" to help people turn their cat, dog, pig, or other animal friend into a social media star.
Sound like a joke? It's not. According to Petlandia, one in six pet-owners have social media accounts for their pets (even Mark Zuckerberg's dog Beast has his own Facebook page), and celebrity pets can make enough money from product sponsorships and media appearances to keep their human parents financially afloat.
Job responsibilities for the Petworking coach include creating online webinars for interested humans around the globe, doing private consultations with VIP clients, and mentoring clients on social media best practices and strategies for growing online audiences.

Meet Hank the Obese Pooch Who Travels First Class
An obese dog was wheeled on to an American Airlines flight
and treated like a king first-class style this week, as onlookers stood by,
amazed at the pampered pooch's size.
The dog, named Hank, then sat in the front row of first
class on the LAX flight on Saturday, with his owner, Kari Whitman, an interior
designer who founded Ace of Hearts Dog Rescue in Beverly Hills, California.
Due to an illness, Hank, who is Whitman's support animal,
has gained weight and can only move with the aid of his luxurious,
pillow-topped cart.
A fellow passenger of the flight out of Los Angeles took a
photo of the dog and uploaded it to Twitter under the username @madeleinedoux.
The photo has been retweeted more than 4,200 times.
Hank seems indifferent in the photo, as several American
Airlines employees gathered around to admire the dog and take photos.
It appears that this isn't Hank's first flight, however, as
there is an Instagram for the dog, @hankthetank, that shows him traveling with
his owner.
On the feed he is seen at Denver International Airport,
lying next to his padded cart, and in another photo Whitman took a selfie with
the pooch while in the air, captioned, 'Hank flying first class from Denver to
LA'.
In an interview with Mashable, @madeleinedoux said it
appeared that Whitman had bought two first class tickets on the LA flight - one
for her and one for Hank.
“Everyone, both while boarding the plane and on the plane
before takeoff, was speculating as to how the dog got so fat,” she said. “You
could legitimately hear hushed whispers of "He's riding first class.”
The traveler added, however, that Hank stayed quiet for the
entire flight and spent most of his time on the floor in front of his seat.
A very large dog named Hank was wheeled on to a an American
Airlines flight on Saturday as onlookers admired his size

Hank has an illness that limits him to his wheeling bed. He
appears to travel regularly with Whitman, who bought two tickets for the LAX
flight on Saturday

several fellow travelers gathered around Hank to take photographs

Baby and Pit Bull Puppy Snuggle Up - Mom, "We Are Trying To Show People That Not Only Pit Bulls But All Dogs Have and Want To Be Good Dogs" (Video)
Just a baby and a pit bull enjoying each other's company.
This video posted to YouTube on July 23 of weeks-old Eisleigh and puppy Clyde has gone viral. And it's no surprise given how adorable they are together.
In the video, Clyde snuggles next to Eisleigh and rests its head on the baby's face. The baby just smiles in a relaxed way. (Could watch this on repeat for days.)
Mom Brandi Hodges wrote in the comments section, "We are trying to show people that not only pitbulls but all dogs have and want to be good dogs." She added, "You just have to train them as such."
Pit bulls have been in the news this summer with awful stories of attacks on children as well as a heroic report of a 2-year-old pit bull named Ace that saved a deaf boy from a fire.
In case you want to see more cuteness of Eisleigh and Clyde, here are some photos of them from Instagram.
