I’m just so obsessed with this wee baby yoda rescue dog called Mork. I honestly can’t stop thinking about him
Meet little Mork – a cute little rescue puppy who was saved back in October from a truck full of dogs who were bound for a frightening and sad fate inside China’s meat trade.
The adorable puppy has big, expressive eyes and pointy ears. He weighed only 11 pounds when he was rescued and subsequently had to be hospitalized for intestinal problems. He was a tough little cookie and managed to come back from the brink, eventually being flown in December out to Los Angeles where he would receive his fresh start in life.
Mork was rescued by HarbinSHS – an organization that is dedicated to saving dogs before they make it to the meat trade in China, where it’s still legal to sell dog meat.

The founder of nonprofit rescue shelter Roadogs, Nikki Carvey, first received a photo of Mork after being informed about the rescue mission. And it turned out to be love at first sight.
Carvey spoke to Huffington Post and said, “[HarbinSHS] save all breeds, and we focus on bringing the bulldogs to America. They sent me a photo of Mork, and I said, ‘I love that dog. I will take him.’”
Mork’s new owner has since set him up with his own Instagram, where fans on social media have compared him to the Baby Yoda from “The Mandalorian.”
While Mork might lack Yoda’s trademark green tint, there is no denying the resemblance when looking at his ears. And since going online, the puppy has certainly won himself plenty of fans – many of whom have commented on his pictures.
One fan wrote, “My level of obsession for MORK is out of control! I literally have to stop everything I’m doing when I see his face!”
Another person said, “Adorable and he just stole my heart.”
