Abstract
We illustrate the social and transnational nature of blogging with the example of dog blogs written in English by Finns and Germans. The use of English functions to display a dog (lover) identity and life style which is both local and global. It establishes an interactive and multi -modal space within which dog lovers can exchange their experiences in a discourse which is geared to their particular needs. Moreover, it gives further evidence of the ubiquity of English as a global language.
