This is my Henry, he is literally a miniature locust brumack, masquerading as a pug. He is almost 2 years old, and he is my best friend. 🙂

It would be so cool to immortalise him in Gears glory. 🤍 pic.twitter.com/0TTbeGBPe0 — Skorge ART (@GearsofSkorgeX) [url="https://twitter.com/GearsofSkorgeX/status/1410945367269588993?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"]
