This is Bonggu. His human took this "embarrassing" pic of him napping. Even shared them with us to humiliate him. Jokes on them though because he's still very handsome. 13/10 (IG: hi_bbomabbong_2)

bonggu, a black and tan dachshund, lies tucked under a black blanket with his head resting on a pillow. his eyes are closed, his tongue sticks out slightly, and his tiny front teeth peek through as he naps on his back.

If you gargled iodine, drank bleach, swallowed hydroxychloroquine, injected Formula 409, gobbled horse dewormer, or shined a flashlight up your own ass to prevent COVID-19, you don't get an opinion on Dr. Fauci.
