This is Taka. He suffered severe burns in a house fire in 2018. Made a very miraculous full recovery and was adopted by the vet who saved him. Now he works as a therapy dog in a local burn unit. 14/10

Whut?! Imagine not caring what others do with their own social media accounts, so long as they aren't harming anyone. Imagine only following accounts you're actually interested in, so you don't have to judge whether the owner is committed to your "correct" aesthetique.
