WeRateDogs (@dog_rates on twitter) is the Twitter account that fills a gaping hole in all our lives that we didn’t even realize was there until now. Even if you “hate twitter”, even if you don’t understand Twitter, and even your grandma who has no idea what Twitter is, will love this account (okay maybe not your grandma, but likely your parents). Matt Nelson started the account in November of 2015, and by December had over 98,600 followers, quickly growing to 326,000 by August of 2016. The concept is simple: you send in photos of your dog, and WeRateDogs gives them a score out of 10, adding a caption with their own brand of weird and hilarious humor. They also have an Instagram account (if you actually hate Twitter), a Vine account for videos, and a website with an online store for all your dog rating apparel needs.
As long as you aren’t a heartless husk of a human who hates dogs (and if you are, what are you doing on a dog blog?) this is about to be your new favorite social media account, ever. It’s not just the Twitter we need, it’s the Twitter we deserve.
And don’t forget to send in your best dog pics to dogratingtwitter@gmail.com if you want them to rate your doggo or pupper!
