There's a special lady in Doctor Mike's life and she's also pretty popular on Instagram. His dog, Roxy Varshavski, has nearly 70,000 followers of her own. Doctor Mike, however, seems to deny that her popularity is because of his Internet fame. "Roxy's a star on her own," he told ABC News. He believes, instead, that she's what made his claim to fame pawssible.

Doctor Mike adopted the Siberian Husky while he was still in medical school and was a way to bring support and a smile to his face following his mom's passing. Posting several selfies with Roxy online was what caused BuzzFeed to find them. "And that's where Roxy, my Husky, sort of brought me some of my fame," he told NBC News. Along with cats, the internet definitely seems to love a doctor and his dog.

Doctor Mike even spent extra time training his beloved pooch so she's able to come along on appearances, spreading the smiles to others. "She gives a fist bump. She gives hugs. When I do events like the breast cancer walk, she'll come in, she'll pose for pictures," he told ABC News. They're the ultimate doctor-dog duo.

While Roxy's Instagram account has been quiet since 2019, she still makes appearances on Doctor Mike's page, along with another dog — a Newfoundland named Bear Varshavski. And, of course, Bear has his own Instagram too with over 165,000 followers.
