It looks like it was rolling around in nuclear waste to become that deformed. Its cruel to breed dogs like that if that's how they turn out. Is that rat even able to see out of its eyes?

I definitely would.

I always wanted to have a dog, so I could walk it and meet pretty girls who walk their dogs too. I bet this dog would hit the spot.

What do you have against Don Johson?


The fact that he can pull off wearing white pants and shoes in Miami Vice and you cant?

just because theyre ugly it doesn't make them monsters, they could still have great personalities.


Poor thing. How on Earth does he eat given the teeth he has? And the marble-like quality of his eyes makes him appear as if he's blind. (Maybe he is.) I hope they aren't breeding these animals with such obvious problems just to win "ugly dog" contests.
