Dogs make our lives happier. Take Gen the corgi, for example. This adorable pooch has the goofiest facial expressions, and he’s winning the hearts of dog-lovers on Instagram.
Gen, the goofy corgi
Gensaku, popularly known as Gen, is a corgi that lives in Japan with his human, Chikomaru. Gen has over 100,000 followers on Instagram. Do you know what makes him an Insta-famous dog? His facial expressions that look like emojis.
According to Chikomaru, Gen is just as happy and chill as he looks in his photos. While some dogs are scared to visit the vet or the groomer, Gen loves going to them. Even being on the examination table is an adventure for him.
Life with Gen
But Gen’s life is not perfect. This five-year-old boy suffers from a variety of medical conditions. He has epileptic seizures and hyperplasia. He also has renal failure, which means he is always thirsty and urinates more often. This condition could not be treated with medication. But with the right diet and a healthy lifestyle, Gen could still live a normal life.
So unlike most healthy dogs, Gen needs to visit the vet a lot more often for blood tests. He also receives dialysis treatments three times a week and an echo test once a month. Gen also eats a special diet that caters to his renal failure.
Gen’s life expectancy is shorter compared to other dogs because of his health conditions, but Chikomaru chooses to focus on quality instead of the quantity. Gen loves to run and play, although he gets exhausted quite quickly. But despite that, Gen still looks at the positive things in life.
Gen’s owners know that they’re in for a big commitment in giving their pooch the healthiest possible life. His medical expenses are no joke as well. But because Gen brings enormous joy to them, they also want to make Gen feel that he is the most special and loved corgi on Earth.
