Everyone loves cute dogs… but all dogs are beautiful on the inside, and the ones who look a little different are worthy of our love, too. Some animal shelters have said that “ugly” dogs are less frequently adopted and have had to encourage adopters to see past superficial looks.
One dog’s physical defect caused his family to give him up, not caring what happened to him… but some kind rescuers gave him the care and love he needed.
In 2015, animal control officers in Huntsville, Texas picked up a mixed-breed dog named Bjarni, who had a very striking appearance.
The dog was missing half of his nose, as well as part of his lips. His teeth were crooked and he had bite marks, as if he had been badly attacked by another animal. He struggled to eat and breathe.
Tracked down the owners
Animal control was able to track down Bjarni’s owners… but heartbreakingly, they didn’t care at all about having their dog returned, and reportedly left him for dead.
