DAD EARNS FORTUNE FROM PET HUSKY PICS

- By CHARLES WADE-PALMER charles.wadepalmer@dailystar.co.uk

A SALESMAN quit his job to film his pet huskies for Instagram.

Dad Aaron Wallman, 27, began filming his dogs’ antics for social media as a joke.

But Millie and Rupert’s channel was such a success the animals made him a star from his sofa.

Aaron now spends every day at home, making more money than he ever did as a full time salesman.

Nearly a million fans have subscribed online to follow the adorable family moments his huskies and 14-month-old son Parker (below).

Aaron said: “I’ve been a salesman all my life but I hated working and making others feel unapprecia­ted.

“I set the Instagram up as a bit of a joke but my social media is now past the point of a full time job.”

The page, called Milperthus­ky, is named after the dogs but has gone into overdrive since baby Parker was born.

Videos of the dogs snuggling up to and licking the tot have warmed the hearts of millions.

Aaron, from

Manchester, took time out to introduce his newborn son to the huskies to ensure he would be safe.

He said: “I stayed on the sofa for three full weeks with

Millie and Rupert making sure they settled in well with baby Parker.

“Millie is so good with him, she’s so gentle and her maternal instincts are clear.”

Running the Milpert social media accounts has become big business for Aaron.

He said: “I created my Instagram page four years ago and it took off massively.

“Just six months ago I set up a YouTube channel because I thought it would be popular too, and now I have 90million views on YouTube alone.

“It was so worth quitting my job because I get to work from home, watching my children and family grow while making good money.”
