Life Post-Puppy Bowl: 20 Epically Adorable Animals to Follow on Instagram
When it comes to Super Bowl halftime entertainment, no music superstar could sway us to turn our wide-eyed gaze away from the most adorable sporting match known to man’s best friend: the Puppy Bowl. And when the whistle blows and the league’s floppiest players leave the stadium, we rest easy knowing that we can open Instagram to get our furball fix while the Most Valuable Paws rest up for next year. These 20 animal Instagram accounts are the most aww-inducing out there—the cutest corgis, the cuddliest kittens, and the plumpest mini pigs are all accounted for. We hope you can handle it.
