Norm’s selfies are really taking puppy photography to the next level. The 1.5-year-old pug is an Instagram celebrity, thanks to his owner Jeremy Veach of Washington state. With 53,000 followers, Jeremy’s Instagram feed features a variety of pictures of Norm posing with props and trying new things.
My favorites are the classic self-portraits one can find on popular social media sites, especially in the Myspace era, where you can see Norm’s paw pretending to hold the camera. Other photos are inspired by the duck face, Bieber fever, Bonnaroo, hipster glasses and feet (or paw) pics. Jeremy got the photogenic pup when Norm was only 8 weeks old and began uploading puppy photography shortly after.
