If Yoda and Dobby had a kid, what would it look like? Exactly like a dog called Mork, it seems. With pointy ears and and big eyes, Mork Skywalker has become a social media sensation. His uncanny likeness to both the Star Wars and Harry Potter characters has given him a worldwide appeal and online users can’t get enough of him. Mork was rescued from China’s meat trade by an organisation called Harbin SHS that saves animals in the country. He was so weak, he had to be hospitalised and almost died.

Reduce Stress. Dr. Becker notes, “The key is to reduce anxiety triggers.” If you have a vet visit, “don’t get the carrier out the night before,” give them a few days to get prepared. If they’re nervous alone or travelling, play soothing music, or draw the shades. The less stimulus pets receive from the outside world, the less anxiety they’ll have about events outside their control.

Thankfully, Mork pulled through and two years ago he was rescued by Road Dogs & Rescue in the US.

Now living in Los Angeles, his new owner Nikki Carvey (who is the founder of Road Dogs & Rescue) regularly posts about his life online.

According to his official Instagram page, Mork is ‘on a mission to share love and wonder.’

The page is a homage to the pooch, with thousands of adorable pictures and videos depicting his daily adventures.

With 303,000 followers on Instagram, Mork is a TikTok sensation too with over 291,000 followers and 3.9 million likes.

Alternate Their Toys to Keep Their Interest. Just like us dogs get bored with new stuff after awhile, and this includes their toys. Keep their interest by alternating their access to them. Once your dog hasn’t seen their blue ball in a month they’ll have a brand new appreciation for it the next time it makes an appearance.

Viewers adore getting a peak into Mork’s life and can’t help but compare him to his famous character lookalikes. ‘Aww Mork aka Baby Yoda aka Dobby is giving us a big kiss. MUAH back to you Mort,’ wrote one user underneath a TikTok video.

‘He is Dobby,’ said another.

‘He is the cutest fur baby in the world,’ added a third.

Mork’s owner Nikki tells Metro that the pup is ‘99% cosmic awesomeness.’

‘He looks like a little alien which is why I called him Mork but he actually acts very much like a cat,’ she says.

Breathe easy. In addition to sweating through their paw pads, dogs pant to cool themselves off. A panting dog can take 300-400 breaths (compared to his regular 30-40) with very little effort.

‘He appreciates love and attention when he’s in the mood but is also very independent and enjoys his space.

‘He has a very sweet personality and is generally pretty lazy. Although, he gets the zoomies every now and again and can becomes quite the bathtub diva.’

Nikki says she is extremely touched by people’s love for Mork.

‘It has been so amazing to see how Mork makes people smile,’ she explains. His journey is one of darkness into light so his story has helped people who are struggling.

‘He reminds them to believe in possibilities and have hope and that is really inspiring.’

INTERESTING FACT ABOUT YOUR PET: One of the fringe benefits of taking on the responsibility of pet ownership is that animals can be an instant icebreaker, whether they’re with you or you’re just using them as a topic of conversation.
