one gremlin, one lady, one very small bodyguard

Luna is a golden retriever, Stella is a cream cocker spaniel and Casper is a cream mini dachshund. All three live in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and together they make up the rydenpups Instagram account — 1,100+ followers and 6 confirmed brand partnerships across the UAE pet industry.
They work well together because none of them are alike. If you are here on the business side, the practical pages are how brand collaborations work and the rydenpups overview.
Golden retriever
Luna is the engine of the account. Golden retriever, permanently switched on, and completely incapable of pretending she is not interested in food. She hears a packet open from another room and arrives before you have finished opening it.
Her content is the loud half: snack tests, ASMR eating clips, and the reaction shots that carry most of the reels. She is not a still-photo dog. Asking Luna to sit calmly next to a product is how you get a blurry photo of a tail.
Cream cocker spaniel
Stella is the composed one. Cream cocker spaniel, slow-moving by default, and genuinely willing to sit still — which makes her the dog who actually gets the product in frame.
Her half of the grid is the prettier one: aesthetic sets, flat lays, grooming content and the softer lifestyle shots. Where Luna sells the reaction, Stella sells the look.
Cream mini dachshund
Casper is a cream mini dachshund with the self-image of a much larger animal. He is loud, dramatic, and ridiculously brave for about three seconds — which is roughly how long it takes for a doorbell to change his mind.
On camera he is the reaction shot. Where Luna brings chaos and Stella brings calm, Casper brings small-dog energy: the bark, the retreat, the second attempt at the bark. He is also the obvious fit for anything aimed at small breeds.
The approach is deliberately unpolished. Clips are shot at home and around Dubai, mostly on a phone, and the take that gets posted is usually the one where something goes slightly wrong. A dog turning away from a product reads as honest; a dog hitting a mark reads as an advert.
Having three dogs with nothing in common means one shoot produces three different assets — the funny version, the pretty version and the small-dog version — without setting up three times.
Location matters too. Dubai gives the content a recognisable backdrop, and it is why UAE brands tend to reach out: our Dubai pet influencer work covers where we shoot and who we shoot for.
Luna, Stella and Casper work with UAE pet brands across food, treats, grooming and accessories.
