“World’s Prettiest Dog” Becomes An Online Sensation

Is this the world’s prettiest dog? An Afghan hound has become a social media sensation thanks to her long dark locks and penchant for staring into the distance… She’s got long dark locks, dignified poise and a withering look – all the ingredients for a social media superstar.
But Tea is not an Instagram bikini model, she’s a five-year-old black Afghan hound whose photogenic silky coat made her an overnight sensation.


The ‘supermodel’ dog is a highly decorated Sydney show dog but struck true fame after her recent retirement when a photo of her was shared more than a million times. It captured her sitting on a bench with her extraordinarily long hair splayed out wide completely obscuring the wood while she stared into the distance.
Owner Luke Kavanagh didn’t expect her to light up social media, but wasn’t surprised that she struck a chord as she was ‘far too pretty to keep at home’.
