Proshka’s owner, Stefani Doherty, told us some more details about the dog.
"We’ve had Proshka ever since he was a pup. He is now 2. Despite his appearance as grumpy, he is a very comical, loving dog.
The first time he was called Chewbacca was when I took him for his vaccinations and a young man said ‘hey, it’s baby Chewbacca.’ It’s like that all the time now, we get stopped all the time on walks, people want to know what breed of dog he is and liken him to Chewbacca, Gremlin or the Grinch.
He seems to enjoy the attention he gets."

But wearing costumes, on the other hand, is something he very much enjoys
