It is unlikely that, having a pet, people perceive the animal as a source of replenishment of the family budget. However, today there are many stories about how adorable cats or dogs become real stars on the Internet, bringing their owners a very good income. They become the faces of brands, participate in photo shoots, act in films, and advertising posts on their pages on social networks are sometimes very expensive.

Stylish Fashionist Bodysuit

When David Fung and his girlfriend Yona Kim first posted a photo of their dog in stylish menswear, they were counting only on creating a good mood. Suddenly photography became very popular, and the owners of Bodie, a Shiba Inu dog, decided to continue posting photos of their pet.

As a result, Bodie became an Internet star, and he is now a real model. Body showcases designer clothes, bringing its owners monthly income of at least 15 thousand dollars.

Angry cat named Tardar Sauce

The owner of the cat Tabitha Bundensen, after Sous Tardar became an Internet star, was forced to leave her job as a waitress. Now she is completely busy with the life of Grumpy Cat, it is under this name that the cat is known on the net.

Millions of people have subscribed to Grumpy Cat's social media pages, and the cat herself, who loves cuddling and cuddling more than anything else, even starred in the movie "The Angry Cat's Worst Christmas." She has her own brand of coffee. By the most conservative estimates, Tardar Sauce has already replenished its owner's wallet with more than $ 100 million.

Benefactor Manny

This French Bulldog doesn't even need to do anything. Manny is amazingly charming and photogenic, and his photos, posted by owners on Instagram, instantly gain thousands of likes. Manny happily poses for photographers, and therefore they began to use him in advertising for clothes and various souvenirs. Manny brings the owners a very good income, but everything they get from Instagram is donated to charity.

Box Lover Maru

Maru lives with his mistress in Japan and became famous for his love for all kinds of boxes. He has his own video channel and Maru is the recipient of a special YouTube award. The king of boxes is known all over the world, but his owner prefers to remain in the shadow of her star pet. Only her nickname is known - mugumogu. Videos with Maru collect hundreds of millions of views, ensuring a comfortable life for the cat and its owner.

Charming Spitz Giff

The Pomeranian is like a cute stuffed toy, but it also has tons of talent. He even got into the Guinness Book of Records as the fastest dog walking on two legs. His popularity can hardly be overestimated: celebrities invite the charming Giff to appear in their videos, he advertises clothes, participates in various shows and appears in films. He also knows how to wrap himself in a blanket and can even ride a skateboard. Jiff's Instagram ads cost over $ 17,000.

Amazing Lil Bab

The gene for dwarfism made the appearance of this wonderful cat completely unique. She has short legs, a surprised expression on her face and a pink tongue that cannot hide in her mouth due to a malocclusion and lack of teeth.

However, Lil Bab is so adorable that she has been voted one of the most popular cats in the world. Her Facebook page has more than two million subscribers, she acts in films and made her owner Mike Bridavski not only famous, but also rich. The cat is involved in animal welfare campaigns, and Lil Bab merchandise is sold in large quantities.

The face of the airline spitz boo

Since the appearance of Spitz Boo's Facebook page in 2009, the baby has steadily gained popularity. Virgin America made him its face, and books by Boo were on sale. The adorable Boo was a real people's favorite, and his annual income was one million dollars. In January 2019, the owner Boo announced that the baby was gone.

Two-faced Venus

The muzzle of this cat is divided by color into two parts. One of them is red, the second is black. At the same time, blue on the red part of the eyes, and green on the black. It seems that the appearance of Venus was corrected with the help of a graphic editor, but in fact it acquired its amazing color due to heterochromia, a genetic disorder. Venus has her own Instagram page, and the cost of advertising on behalf of a cat is estimated at thousands of dollars.

Dancing Pudsy

The talented Pudsey, together with his owner Ashley Butler, became the winners of Britain's Got Talent show. After performing an incredible dance composition in 2012, they won the main prize, the amount of which exceeded one and a half million dollars. Manufacturers of pet food immediately signed advertising contracts with the owner of the talented dog. Unfortunately, five years after winning the competition, Pudsi died.

Owner of his own site cat Monty

It is not known how the fate of the cat, which was missing a nasal septum due to a chromosomal abnormality, could have developed if Michael Bjorn and Mikala Klein had not taken him from the shelter one day. The owners literally fell in love with his special face and decided to become his family.

From Bandit, the cat was renamed to Monty. A survey showed that the animal has Down syndrome and many other health problems. This did not become an obstacle for loving owners. Soon, the cat had not only its own pages on social networks, but also its own website where you can buy souvenirs with his image. And in December 2018, Monty had a girlfriend, Molly, with a very similar appearance.

Every day, Internet users upload a myriad of pictures of their cats, dogs and other pets to social networks, collecting thousands of likes. In the Soviet Union, the concept of a global network did not exist, but this does not mean that there were no favorite animals either. In the USSR, four-legged celebrity friends enjoyed special love.
