Adopting a dog can be life-changing.

It greatly influences the lives of both the dog and also the human. The dog will finally have a place to call its forever home. They will be well-fed and taken care of. The human will now have someone who will love them unconditionally for the rest of their lives. They will have a cute little fur baby to come home to after a long and tiring day. All in all, you will have another reason to live and wake up in the morning. I know when I’m thinking of reasons to keep going, my pets are always on top of the list. Having a dog can be a fun and exciting experience. It will change your life for the better.

Mochi the pug is an extra-ordinarily cute dog that is extremely loved by his mom, Gemma Gené. Gemma is a Spanish artist that lives in New York. She makes comics about her life with Mochi and these comics are the only thing you need to see today. Mochi is featured in his mom’s comics along with his rescued siblings Huey and Duey.

In an interview with Bored Panda, Gemma shared that when she first started posting her comics, a lot of people could relate to them. “A comment that I get a lot is ‘do you have cameras in my home because my dog does the exact same thing!’” she said.

“As it turns out, what I thought was so unique about Mochi is common in many dogs! We accidentally created a very supportive dog-loving community that has gradually grown over time.” Gemma tries to stay consistent with her comics, working on improving her drawing skills and adding more characters to her comics, “It’s Mochi’s twin chihuahua brothers, the Twinchis, or Mochi’s BFF Ben.”

Gemma used to draw by hand to avoid using screens too much, but now she makes her comics on the computer. “I started adding colors some time ago. I also do animations from time to time, which is very exciting to me.”

The year 2020 brought challenges for Mochi and his mom too. “I work from home, so in that sense, it didn’t really change much. Only when the parks started closing down, Mochi was no longer able to run free and see his friends. Meanwhile, I stopped all the activities I used to do outside the house, but Mochi and the Twinchis loved that.”
