Most of the people love cute animals. It’s an unwritten internet law and no one ever questions it, especially when one is presented with absolutely adorable examples like cat memes and puppy photos. A lot of people are also a big fan of the Star Wars franchise, and even those who have never seen the movies are definitely aware of one meme that took internet by storm just last year. Baby Yoda, yep! What if we told you that we found someone who can tick both of those boxes? Combine a cute puppy and Star Wars and you get Mork, a doggy that people can’t help but compare to Baby Yoda. And we can definitely see the resemblance.

Slaughterhouse Survivors is an organization that saved Mork from meat trade in China and with the help from Road Dogs & Rescue brought him back to the USA. It wasn’t long before he was adopted into a loving home.

Nikki Carvey is a dog rescuer that ended up adopting Mork who had many health issues before landing in LA. He weighed only 5 kilos (11 pounds), had many intestinal problems and nearly died when he was hospitalized. Thankfully, since those dreaded days, Mork made quite some progress alongside internet fame as his Instagram account grew to 115k followers.

It’s been a long and arduous process for Mork to get better since he was first found in October of last year and saved from the meat trade in China. Since the doggy found his way to the US, Mork grew around 400 grams (14 ounces). According to his owner, the pooch eats a special diet because of his irritable bowel syndrome. His meals mainly consist of of lentils and various supplements and is, reportedly, pretty expensive.

Some have urged Carvey to run a DNA test to find out what breed Mork is, however, she is not that keen on the idea. Nikki is concerned that people might try to breed a similar dog to Mork, just because he looks cute, despite his many health issues.

As for what’s next for Mork? Well, first he needs to get back on his feet and get healthy. After that Harvey hoped to train the pooch as a therapy dog to visit nursing homes and hospitals where he would help people heal.
