Lil Bub
Lil Bub was the runt of a feral litter and is also a rescue, according to her owner, Mike Bridavsky.
She has a pronounced case of dwarfism, which makes her legs disproportionately stubby, and osteopetrosis, a rare disease that causes a typically debilitating bone density. She has four extra toes, one on each foot, and an underdeveloped lower jaw, which causes her tongue to droop perpetually. She's also a “perma-kitten,” meaning she'll remain her current size of four pounds for the rest of her life.
She is, however, healthy, happy, has her own line of merchandise, and a whopping 743,000 Instagram followers.

The Rich Dogs Of Instagram
Kaylin Pound started
The Rich Dogs of Instagram in February 2015 as a parody account to
The Rich Kids of Instagram. She said when she started the account, which features pictures of dogs appearing to live exorbitant lifestyles, she just aggregated pictures she found. But now, "thanks to all of the people that have been sending me images, I am now strictly posting submissions," she says.
Despite the show of wealth, The Rich Dogs of Instagram account has a charitable side. "Since it has gained so much press attention in such a short time, I decided that I wanted to use it for something other than a good laugh, so I am teaming up with Posh Pets Rescue in New York City to help them spread the word about giving back to dogs that aren't as fortunate as The Rich Dogs of Instagram," Pound said.
