Not too fond of gay people dog
“When that meme took off, that’s when she really started gaining followers,” Hickman says. “It’s hilarious. Now, you can Google her name and see so many different photos of her with different memes and they’ve become pretty recognizable, especially within the gay communiuty online.”
Even though the “diva dachshund” has amassed nearly , followers on Instagram, Hickman says that the almost 6-year-old weiner dog is still the same Whitney and that the fame hasn’t gone to her head.
“It’s wild,” he says. “We’ll just be taking her for a walk and people will run up because they acknowledge her. She has a very niche following so it’s not like she has a ton of followers, but they’re loyal.”

Trend tracking – the homophobic dog
For the origins and nature of the homophobic canine, see the Know Your Meme article, which covers it decently. For a collection of homophobic dog memes, see here.

The most crucial recent development is that a fake Washington Post screenshot has made the dog popular with right-wing Doge-posters, since they were already used to “homophobic dogs” to begin with. For instances, see the posts by Doge Collection, Darkcel Doge, and Doge Dad. So, while it was initially much more ironic, there seems to be earnest homophobia to a significant chunk of it now.
