This morning Dogs of Instagram revealed that the uber-famous Hamilton the Hipster Cat was the brains behind the pupular Instagram account. Dogs of Instagram also announced that going fur-ward, they’d be posting cat photos since market research demonstrated cats’ superior cuteness.

 
Since The BarkPost is dedicated to making dogs more famous than cats on the interwebz, we wrote a scathing rebuttal here on The BarkPost demanding that Dogs of Instagram keep their account dedicated to the pups.


 
As it turns out, the prank indeed April Fooled a few folks…

Some people thought it was pretty cool…

And some were so mad that they commented and deleted their comment later. 🙂 (Handles hidden for internetiquette. 🙂

We even got 50 people to sign our Change.org petition against Dogs of Instagram!

But, since it is April Fools’ Day, it was a joke.

 
And the internets were very thankful that it was a joke.

Happy April Fools’ Day! 😉
