His account has over 40,000 followers because people love to see the cute critter and his [travel photos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bark-air). He is probably one of the most well-traveled animals in the world -- or at least in the social media realm. Biddy travels with his owners Toni DeWeese and Tom Unterseher on all of their [hiking expeditions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nomadmania). He has traveled with them everywhere from the trails of Oregon to the beautiful Mirror Beach. His owners photograph him cupped in their hands in front of a backdrop of famous terrains and landmarks. In some photos he is even perched on a rock on his own in front of various mountains and waterfalls. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/pets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Social Media Pet Accounts:** The trend of creating Instagram accounts for pets provides opportunities for brands to collaborate and market their products. - **Travel Photography with Animals:** The trend of incorporating animals into travel photography offers opportunities for pet-friendly travel companies and tourism boards to attract and engage a wider audience. - **Adventure and Outdoor Exploration:** The trend of showcasing outdoor adventures with animals presents opportunities for outdoor gear companies and travel agencies to offer specialized products and experiences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Pet Industry:** The pet industry can leverage the popularity of social media pet accounts to market and sell pet-related products and services. - **Travel and Tourism Industry:** The travel and tourism industry can capitalize on the trend of travel photography with animals to promote unique travel destinations and experiences. - **Outdoor Gear Industry:** The outdoor gear industry can tap into the trend of showcasing outdoor adventures with animals by developing innovative gear and accessories designed for pet companions on outdoor excursions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pet Community Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petdiary.md) - [Durable Travel Photography Tripods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heipi-travel-tripod.md) - [Pet-Taken Camera Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartography.md) - [Travel Buddy Finders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tripbff.md) - [Hiking-Specific Travel Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/100-hikes-of-a-lifetime.md) - [Animal-Inspired Sensory Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spike-the-fine-motor-hedgehog-fidget-friend.md) - [2-in-1 Smart iPhone Tripods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bierdi-smart-tripod.md) - [AI-Enhanced Pet Adoption Photos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/personality-pics.md) - [AI-Powered Smart Bird Feeders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bird-buddy.md)
