Check Out K9 Arrow On Instagram

BRANFORD, CT — Who doesn't love a K9? Okay, maybe some aren't fans depending on how they met, but that's another story.

This story is about K9 Arrow, the Branford Police K9 cop who's about to become an Instagram influencer. Who knows, maybe Arrow, at the tender age of 2, will end up with a pack of other K9 followers, because Arrow already has more followers than most accounts in just one day on the social networking site.

"When mom is a very private person but you’re a star so you get an Instagram."
