It’s hard not to be amused by these playful pooches relishing the wind in their fur with a tongue-lolling smile. It’s no secret that, next to a walk or a game of fetch, [car rides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-rides) are many dogs' favorite activity. Regan wanted to capture dogs going gaga over the opportunity to go for a joy ride. She explains,”[…] as an owner of three dogs living in the Los Angeles car culture, the idea was just staring me in the face. Most dogs become downright delirious over a car ride, and I wanted to capture this amazing primal energy in photographs beyond what I’d seen before.” ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/pets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Pet Photography:** Opportunity for photographers to capture more adorable pet moments in creative ways particularly in motion. - **Canine Activities-related Merchandise:** Innovative and unique merchandise targeted towards dog owners based on different activities that dogs love doing, such as car rides. - **Pet Influencer Marketing:** Pet influencers and their impact on social media can be leveraged by brands to market their products to a diverse audience. ### Where This Applies - **Photography:** Incorporating innovative photography concepts focused on pet owners and their pets. - **Pet Care:** Creating unique merchandise based on pets' favorite activities can drive sales and growth for the pet industry. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Leveraging the growing trend of owning pets and the impact of pet influencers can drive strategic marketing efforts in different markets. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dog-Friendly Driving Playlists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playlist-for-dogs.md) - [Pet-Friendly EV Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renault-pet-communication-device-concept.md) - [Puppy Dating App Giveaways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puppy-dating-app-giveaways.md) - [Pet-Focused SUV Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/genesis-x-dog.md) - [Heart-Warming Pet Owner Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cesar-love-like-crazy.md) - [Dog-Friendly Airlines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airline-for-dogs.md) - [Dog-Themed Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dogthemed-puzzle.md) - [Pet-Friendly Vehicle Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-mode.md) - [Canine-Friendly Action Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kivi-action-camera.md)
