Homeless Rescue Dog Gets Taken To Pet-Friendly Restaurants Every Day, Loves Life

Every time I write a story like this, I am reminded that not long ago in human history, we barely had enough food to feed ourselves and bad winters would wipe out chunks of our population. Now, dogs eat better than our ancestors a couple generations ago.

Ain’t modern life great? I can devour as many bags of chips as I can get my hands on (well, to a certain point).

For this little pooch, he can eat as much as his handler is willing to offer up. Luckily for him, that’s quite a bit.

Popeye the Dog used to be homeless and starving.

Now the dog’s life is basically the canine version of the Kardashians — full of glamor, fame, and a slight resentment when ordinary people see how great its life is.

Popeye’s Instagram was started by his owner, Ivy Diep. He has 132k followers.

“I found him as a stray,” Ivy said. “He was such a mess — super skinny, heavily matted, dirty.”

Popeye, at the time, was unwanted by all.

But the pooch needed a home and Diep decided to take on that responsibility.”It wasn’t long before he made himself at home at my place with my other dogs. And of course, my husband and I fell in love [with him]…”

“One of my friends, Jen, suggested that I create an Instagram account for Popeye because he was cute…”

“Jen and I liked to go on what we call ‘Instagram dates’ and take pics of our food. I’d bring Popeye any time I can [sic], and we realized he was really good around food. He doesn’t lunge for food or really even care for it. He just liked to be out. He’ll get nibbles of anything that’s safe for him. I also carry a bag of treats for him, in case there’s nothing he can have.”
