From Struggles to Joy: The Remarkable Journey of the World’s Ugliest Dog, Overcoming Challenges and Finding Happiness

Newt is a puppy whose face is notable for having the look of a “grumpy old man” , due to a massive scar on him that his mother gave him at birth. She bit his face when he was a cub , thus he lost the entire top of his snout to him.

His first owners transferred him to the New York Bully Crew shelter in Texas, USA, due to how expensive medical treatment was for him, but as one door shuts, another opens. That’s how Newt got a new family due to Liesl Wildhart, who adopted him.

Liesl is the creator of Luvable Dog Rescue and Animal Sanctuary , an adoptive home for rescued dogs . The first thing the lady did was alter her or her dog’s name , it moved from being named Brute to Newt , and she brought it with her to her residence located in the city of Eugene, belonging to the state of Oregon (USA) (USA).

It was because to social media that Liesl met Newt , and chose to adopt him as soon as she saw him. “They uploaded images and videos of him on her Instagram account. That’s where I saw it for the first time and I liked it. I wanted to adopt Newt as a personal dog ,” the entrepreneur told Metro .

Newt has two dog brothers , called Picasso and Wacku , who formerly resided with Liesl. In addition to an Instagram account where you may view his travels with others.

At first it was tough for him to adapt to the changes, but presently he enjoys a full and happy life with his owner and the other puppies . His face got a surgery that left him appearing like an amphibian and a “grumpy old guy”, as he has been called on social networks, but with much affection.

There are things he requires help with, like feeding , but it’s not an issue because his owner is always there for him. “I have to hand feed everything he eats because he has a hard time putting food into his mouth, and you also can’t let him eat too much at one time or he’ll spew it up,” Liesl told Metro.

Both Newt and his siblings have disfigurements on their faces. Wacku lost his snout and Picasso’s face is deformed . “Newt was a fantastic fit for my family of dogs, and everyone enjoyed him from the start. He is extremely lively and goofy like a normal puppy, but also clever and respectful to the other dogs ,” Liesl stated to the same publication .
