If you’re thinking the internet can’t get any more niche than this, it finds a way to get even more specific.
We’re, of course, talking about an Instagram page that is solely dedicated to sharing people’s photos of dogs chilling in bags as they are being transported from point A to point B. Yes, that’s a thing.
The Instagram page has a bit over 98,000 followers, and the page itself encourages people to send in pics they snapped of dogs in carrier, or not carrier, bags. As of this article, the page has nearly 1,300 posts.
Scroll down to see our curated list on the matter, and while you’re at it, comment, vote, and why not tell us if you do the same because your dog has to be a king or a queen while in public!

This is dog is compacted and ready for travel, but his floof runneth over.
So, Instagram has so many dog pages that it should honestly launch a spin-off social medium called Dogstagram. There is a hashtag, so I guess we’ll settle for that.
The Dogstagram universe includes heaps upon heaps of accounts dedicated to worshiping dogkind, and one of these pages is a rather niche affair called BagDogs. And it’s exactly what it sounds like.
I had my brekkies, I made some poopies, now I get a ride, and then a wee nap when we get home. WHEEEE!
BagDogs is a follower-driven Instagram account that shares the best and most adorable pictures of yips, puppers, doggos and borks alike chilling in bags, backpacks, carriers and other forms of fiber containers.
And that’s about it, multiplied by almost 1,300, which is the amount of posts that the page currently has. Since its launch, the page has drawn together over 98,000 followers, hungry for more pictures of dogs in bags.
Fun fact, part of this movement of having dogs in bags was due to the fact that New York city has banned dogs in the subway—they had to be carried in bags, by which the government probably meant doggie carriers and not actual bags, but people used everything in this case, including “modified” IKEA bags.
But besides this ban, there is a certain kind of convenience both for dogs as well as owners. After all, the dogs can chill, and the owners can walk faster. Sure, everyone ought to get some exercise here, but the smaller puppers may have problems walking New York distances.
You can check out the entire page here, but don’t go just yet! We have a list of bears and a list of bunnies lined up for your entertainment. But you still have a ways to scroll, so keep at it, and put these other lists into your agenda.
Agreed. You can never trust the cart or basket to be clean though because of meat, people's cell phones, and, well, everything.

When you have seen mankind's ability to put their ass and feet on every surface, yes. I'm sure I've seen a pic of a woman resting by having a handrail wedged between her buttcheeks 🤢

I'm a dog lover- I have three. I don't care how much you wash your produce etc- this is not hygienic.
This thing was dirty when they put me in here it's disgusting for a dog!
What is wrong with you people? You don't like the law? It's a matter of public health and safety for us and them, so take your downvotes and shove them where the sun don't shine, you pile of penguin pukes.

I was thinking that I hope the dogs in backpacks where released as soon as they were off their transporters. Not only does it seems uncomfortable for a dog, but having 50+ pounds on your back isn't good either. I have a 55 pound shepherd mix (hence, Zoe's Mom) and I don't think I could carry her on my back. But on the other hand, I applaud these folks for taking their dogs with them when they can. We are allowed to bring dogs on any transporter in San Francisco.

Some of these were so so SO cute! But some of the doggies looked sad...
Remember a lot of these pics are NYC, NYC buses and subways have a rule that non-service animals (seeing eye dog, medical alert dogs, etc) must be able to fit in a bag and be transported in the bag on the buses and subway.
MTA rules say carrier, not bag. Pet Carriers have ventilation and support, random bags do not and can be dangerous for the animals.
Load More Replies... These photos made me feel pretty uncomfortable, and looks like some of the dogs were too. I've only ever seen 'accessory' dogs carried like this, and only ever in a dog carrier they can lie down in. Worrying.
🙈😾🙊Definitely worrying, Eb. The MTA rule is "Small domestic pets are allowed only when they are in CARRIERS. No part of the animal may stick out. The CARRIER must not inhibit other riders' ability to access seating or handrails." (NOT a bag, a CARRIER.) And summed up as "Pets are not allowed unless ENCLOSED IN A CONTAINER (🙀that wording🙀) and carried in a manner which would not annoy other passengers." Especially worrying with the Brachycephalic breeds being stuffed in unventilated, random bags. They overheat so easily and have a hard enough time breathing under the best of circumstances. 🙀🙉😿

I Cannot stand to see dogs in bags. They are NOT accessories. They have legs and should be walked. If you are going to a busy city, leave your dog at home where he will be much happier.
Someone posted a video today with these exact same photos, I thought it was a coincidence but the pictures are in the same order. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxVYztS9jnM
It's a very popular topic right now, Tory. BoredPanda even says (at the start of this post) that it "curated from Instagram" for this. So apparently someone else has done the same? Good catch 👏 😹👍

How can this be a thing? Why? I know that dogs in Vienna dont need to buy a ticket if boxed or baged, but why shoudnt they walk? Escalators? I dont get it...
It only started because of bad owners taking untrained, uncontrolled animals on public transportation and causing trouble. It hasn't always been this way.

My dog was not happy and dislike busy and crowds in town first time. Because my dog still lives in countryside and small village.
Most animals would feel the same, Lldhhdh. It's always better to start with shorter trips to get them used to it and build up to longer ones. You have a very lucky dog 🙉 🐕

I have two Chihuahuas and I've never put them in a bag and now I think I'm doing life wrong!
Nope, you're doing it right. They are dogs and have legs to help them get around. They are not accessories (subway rules excluded).

In some cities, dogs are allowed on public transit if they are in a carrier or bag. Many of these look like they’re on trains.

A lot of these are the NYC subway, where dogs are supposed to be in bags to be on board (though I often see dogs who are not in bags). I loooove seeing dogs on the train.
Actually aubergine, the MTA says they're supposed to be in CARRIERS, not random bags. Carriers have ventilation and support, and hard sided ones offer more protection for the animal. Especially important for the Brachycephalic breeds who have inherent breathing issues.
