"Mochi is a very sweet and happy dog that sees life in a particular way. He is super sweet and well behaved, but he can be very sassy and pretty much does whatever he wants. His favorite activities include sleeping, eating, and going for walks, especially when he is being carried."
Mochi is a lovely and unique pug, but many find him relatable. “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 wants the comic to be consistent with her real life. "The main characters are Mochi, my husband Peli, and me," she said, but over time, two new members were added to the fold, and many characters were introduced, like "Mochi’s twin chihuahua brothers, the Twinchis, or Mochi’s BFF Ben."
The lockdowns and quarantines changed a lot of things in the Mochi household, but it seems that it changed for the better. “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.”
Though Gemma lives in New York, she's originally from Barcelona, Spain. Though the comics are the thing she's mostly known for, she's a jack of all trades, and her interests range from sculpting to writing. Over the years, the dog owner’s follower count has grown to a whopping 363k on Instagram and over 170k fans on Facebook.
This is 100% true in my house too. "DO YOU NEED HELP?!" my dog asks as he blocks the way

Very good cartoons! All the characters are soo cute. PS these are cartoons, so could we please all agree that breed is not the point of these cartoons? I'd like to see cats too. Maybe the cat thinks the GUY is the rockstar this time.
Too funny and cute, I am not a dog mom, I have my 2 adopted senior tomcats Gizzy and Thori, but if I wasn´t a #Disabled #LongtimeLupusSurvivor with a walker and with a current #BMI of only 13,8, if I was fit enough to walk a pup regularly, Gizzy and Thori´d get an adopted pup sibling.
As a teenie (in the 80s) I volunteered at our local shelter, then I was still healthy, I walked pups & fed them & cleaned their kennels every afternoon after school, stroked cats, fed them & cleaned the litterboxes and I also cared about small pets like rabbits or guinea pigs. But again, back then I still was healthy, the #Lupus broke out 30 years ago, now I´m 51.

First off, it's not a "designer dog", it's a pug. Second, many breeders now are working to reverse the brachy faces specifically to help improve the health of the breed. Third, whining about something you don't understand on some random comic is childish at absolute best. If you care that much, stop whining about it and work to change it.
