Fluffy little rescue dog posing with food is our ideal Instagram account

We can't even take the cuteness.

Popeye The Foodie Dog's Instagram account combines two of our favorite things: Instagram food porn and an adorable little puppy.

The account captures Popeye, a rescue pup from Los Angeles, in all his glory as he embarks on culinary adventures with his owners, posing beside delicious-looking meals.

Popeye's human, Ivy, told Bored Panda that she found him as a stray. "He was such a mess -- super skinny, heavily matted, dirty," she said.

After she and her husband welcomed Popeye into the family, she told Bored Panda, "One of my friends, Jen, suggested that I create an Instagram account for Popeye because he was cute."

"Jen and I liked to go on what we call 'Instagram dates' and take pics of our food," she said. "I'd bring Popeye any time I could, and we realized he was really good around food."

Unlike most humans, Popeye is extremely calm around a delicious looking meal. As Ivy said, "He doesn't lunge for food or really even care for it. He just likes to be out."

Popeye has visited many different restaurants thus far, and has posed in front of everything from burgers and fries, to poke bowls, ice cream and corn dogs.

We're drooling just looking at these pics, so we applaud Popeye for his astounding self control.

Ivy is often asked if Popeye gets to enjoy any of the food, and she shared that "He'll get nibbles of anything that's safe for him," and she always has a bag of treats handy.

To live vicariously through Popeye's delicious looking foodie adventures, check out his Instagram account.

Mashable reached out to Ivy for comment and will update this article when we receive a response.
