Maya the Samoyed

Maya the Samoyed also known online as MayaPolarBear or Maya the Polar Bear, is a lovely blend of ASMR foodie dog and daily-life fluff star, with a huge online fanbase thanks to her calm, entertaining, and utterly adorable videos.

Maya is a German-based Samoyed owned by a Chinese woman named Lingli Ye (often called “Karen” online). The owner is ethnically Chinese, and Maya's videos sometimes go viral on Chinese social platforms like Bilibili or Weibo. Maya is also very popular with Chinese-speaking audiences, leading to some confusion about her origin.
