Anuko is the darling of the Internet, has a huge social media followership, and his famous grumpy look is earning him thousands. But he is not a celebrity, rather an adorable Siberian husky with unusual facial expressions. Famous for his steely stare, the dog is winning hearts on social media and earning money – a sum of £20,000 – for his owner Jasmine Milton.

According to a Daily Mail report, Jasmine Milton, 20, from Shropshire, brought home her two-year-old dog when she was 18.Despite his grumpy face, Anuko turned out to be a "lovable and affectionate pet".

And this affectionate relationship with her pet has helped the 20-year-old lady to cope with her mental illness.

"I was 18 and I went through a really bad down phrase. I didn't know I had bipolar at the time. I had fallen out with all of my friends and I knew I hadn't done well in my GCSEs," said Milton, who reportedly attempted suicide in 2013 after struggling with an undiagnosed case of bipolar.

However, the medical studies-aspirant got the idea of getting herself a pet in the hospital when another patient with similar issues informed her about the benefits of companionship with a dog. Months later, Milton took home a little Siberian husky, who was a 'perfect pupppy'.

Two years later, Anuko is not only putting a smile on his master's face, but also earning money for her. After Milton set up an Instagram account for her unique pet, Anuko managed a followership of over 14,000 with his striking appearance and furry frown. Fan-following soon turned into a mean of earning money as modelling contracts and Youtube offering came pouring the happy pet owner's way.

Our entry for the #imtheownercontest - It's no secret Anuko has had a huge impact on my life. There's possibly hundreds of articles out there now broadcasting "our short but sweet" story, shortly after Anukos Meme went globally viral. December 2013 after years of unbalanced emotions, I hit an all time low patch. I made some bad life choices and wound up in hospital. I thought I had no way out; I truly convinced myself I didn't feel the love around me and truly convinced myself I was alone. Whilst I was in the ward I overheard a mother mentioning to her teenager about dogs being natures best antidepressant. I promised myself I'd turn my life around once I got out of the automatic doors and as silly as it sounds, to me a dog was a good place to start. I'd always wanted a husky, and before I knew it I'd found a great breeder and a date and time to meet his litter. A month later I put the deposit down on this adorable Arctic Baikal litter pup, and shortly after that he was mine. I cannot possibly recall a moment since where I've felt as low as I did that sad December evening in 2013. When I reached out of the infinite black hole I fell into, I found his paw. Thank you Anuko, you are my best friend. @lokithegoldengod @goldilocksandthewolf @mazamadog @pawsthatwander @graywoof @bentley.andthegirls @pdx.oregondogs @scvitkovic1

"For quite a while I wasn't asking for money, but then a company told me: 'You can make money out of this,'" said Milton adding, "That's when I had the idea to use it to bring in cash."

With all this wealth the teenager now plans to take a leaf off her struggles and follow in her father's footsteps to pursue a degree in psychiatry. While she prepares for Plovdiv Medical University in Bulgaria, Milton has her pup to thank for everything.

'He is my whole world - he is like my baby,' she said.

Spring, 2014. He wasn't too impressed with the flower.
