The Rise of #DogsAtPollingStations
General Elections seem to give us the biggest spikes in #DogsAtPollingStations conversations, with 2017 and 2019’s giving us the largest number of posts.
It’s a trend that’s become more of a thing over time, although mentions for this General Election dropped compared to 2017’s (perhaps the cold weather meant many dogs stayed at home).
How many good doggos showed up for our enjoyment in the 2019 election?
There were 32,090 unique posts about puppers at polling stations yesterday on Twitter. Now that’s a lot of love! (Or roughly 128360 paws).
