Red carpet for four-legged friends: In Cologne, particularly successful dog profiles from social networks were honored with the "German Petfluencer Awards".

The account "@cookiethehuskyyy" was named "Petfluencer of the Year" with almost 556,000 followers on TikTok. According to the organizer, Ms. Lisa shares Cookie's everyday adventures with humorous videos and a charming overall appearance - and thus convinced the jury. Altogether there were awards in five categories.

Petfluencer - pet is the English word for pet - like influencers, let their fans participate in their lives via social media accounts and advertise all sorts of things. The protagonists are animals and not people.
