A Texas
millionaire's dogs are so pampered they've got their own $45 per hour
social media consultant churning out their personal blog posts.
Auto recycling tycoon Ron Sturgeon loves his King Charles Cavaliers Willy, Dixie and Lance so much he pays for the world to see their thoughts on Facebook, Twitter and a personal blog.
But
that's just the start of their pampering. Sturgeon's love runs so deep
he's even said he may stiff his family and will his $75 million fortune
to the dogs.
Josh Davis is the lucky Fort Worth tech
entrepreneur tasked with maintaining the furry online
presence of Willie, Dixie and Lance as they lead the good life.
Davis revealed to BetaBeat what exactly he does for the dogs.
'I
spend anywhere from four to eight hours per week managing the dogs’
blog and various networks,' revealed Davis, who also runs web design
company Made in Forth Worth. 'I am paid $45 per hour for this work.'
Davis has used his expertise to gain a following of 23,000 for the dogs' Facebook page, called Spoiled Cavaliers.
They also have their own blog, a new Twitter account and an Instagram account on the way.
Davis
posts pictures of the pooches posed in funny scenarios like them all
sitting in the driver's seat of one of Sturgeon's Ferraris.
'Each day
Ron sends me several videos, with some notes. I then take those videos,
upload them, and publish them across the networks. The content is
generally from the perspective of the dogs, or what the dogs might be
thinking in their head,' Davis told BetaBeat.
The
photos often feature more than just Willy, Dixie and Lance. There's
often a fourth or even a fifth or sixth Cavalier that Sturgeon has take
in as a foster as it awaits a forever home.
'Ron has always been passionate about his dogs. He has been involved with the Cavalier Rescue for years,' said Davis.
The lucky dogs may soon get even more media exposure.
A
show called Goin’ to the Dogs about Sturgeon, his wacky family and, of
course his dogs, is currently being pitched to various TV networks.
