GentLex, a five-year-old Cocker Spaniel, is conquering the internet. Since Valérie (23) Mortier from Sint-Amandsberg posted a puppy photo of Lex on Instagram last Thursday, the animal has been traveling the world. Because none other than Kendall Jenner, half-sister of Kim Kardashian, found the photo so cute that she also posted it on her Instagram – with 142 million followers. “And now I already have at least 5,000 extra followers,” laughs Valérie.

She was stunned when some of her followers reported that Kendall Jenner had reposted one of her photos. Valérie Mortier works as a veterinary assistant, but is also obsessed with animal photography. And more specifically, photographing her own cocker spaniels. They even have their own Instagram page: noa_englishcockerspaniel. “Lex, the dog in question, doesn’t actually live with me anymore,” she says. “I have two myself, Noa and Nina. Lex is a puppy from Noa’s first litter. It was a super cute little creature, but he is now also 5 years old. ”

Throwback Thursday
“On Instagram there is such a thing as ‘throwback Thursday’, on which everyone posts old photos. So it happened that I posted a photo of the mini-Lex last Thursday. He is really endearing, still with blue eyes as they have just after birth. They then turn brown later. The photo got quite a few likes, and apparently it came under the eyes of Kendall Jenner. I don’t follow her myself, but she does have ‘thousands of million’ followers. She shared the photo on her Instagram page. And then it kind of exploded. I now have more than 5,000 extra followers on the page of the dogs. ”

Valérie is very happy with it. “I try to post something on that page five days out of seven, always pictures of one or more dogs. I put a lot of time into that, so I really enjoy doing it. If such a world star shares a photo, it does something, yes. ”
