Meet Mochi, The Tiny Pug With A Huge Personality

If you’re a pet owner, one of the most difficult moments for both you and your pet is when you have to leave your pet home alone. That’s also what inspired illustrator Gemma Gené to begin drawing cartoons about her pug, Mochi.

“I missed Mochi so much during my work hours that I started drawing about him on my subway commutes,” she says. “The drawings are little stories about love and the daily little things that happen when you have a dog.”

Gemma shares her cartoons on her Instagram page, @157ofgemma, where she’s racked up over 200k followers. It’s easy to see why, as her drawing of Mochi resonate with experiences we’ve all had. Or as Gemma puts it, “What makes Mochi so unique is so common in many dogs, and pet parents relate to them very much.”
