Meet Alan, the internet sensation with a “crooked” face. This one-year-old pup has a unique appearance due to a facial contortion that sets him apart from other dogs. The reason behind his distinctive look is a mix of Saluki and Boxer breeds. Alan was born with a jaw that tilts to the left and protruding lower teeth, making him stand out from the rest.
There are times when surgery is needed for animals suffering from this condition, which can make it difficult for them to eat and drink. However, Alan was fortunate enough not to require this medical intervention. Despite his physical limitations, he has gained a significant following on social media thanks to his dad’s photographs and videos. These delightful images showcase the playful pup cuddling with his human dad on the couch, snacking on treats from the kitchen counter, and playing with his family and foster siblings at home. Alan is full of energy and loves to leap around the room, bringing joy to everyone who witnesses his antics.
The beginning of Alan’s life was not easy. He was found wandering the streets of Doha, Qatar with his mother, father, and seven siblings when he was only two months old. Luckily, he was taken to a rescue center where Johanna met him 10 months ago and decided to adopt him.
Alan’s family is determined to show that he is just like any other happy dog living a normal life. Thanks to videos of Alan enjoying life to the fullest, he has become a viral sensation with over 140k followers and more than a million likes. The internet can’t get enough of this adorable pup and his joyous antics.
Performing surgery on Alan to enhance his appearance by breaking and resetting his nose and jaw would be a painful experience with no functional benefits. Despite others finding him unattractive, his new family adores him for who he is, both internally and externally. I have great affection for them, and Johanna, in particular, has extensive knowledge of their situation. Alan’s story serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of not judging others based solely on their looks.
The affection and bond between the human and dog are evident, and it’s heartwarming to witness. It’s reassuring that kindness and compassion still persist in our world. If you appreciate this heartwarming tale, kindly share it with your loved ones and social circle!
