It's a good idea for the sake of your privacy to remove the metadata from the picture. While for a picture of a pet it is less important, it's still a good idea to get in the habit of nixing the metadata. Don't make it easier for you to be tracked and profiled.

Agreed - even if it's doggo... It has data on it
