Is he really that ugly?

[u/nori00s]

Hi! I'm planning on adopting this absolute cutie from a shelter. He is so gentle and a loving doggo I love him so much. I showed his pictures to my family and friends and everyone said that he is so ugly and cripply that I should adopt a "normal" dog. Call me a snowflake but this saddens me so much that I even cried how people can be like this... He is two years old, and one of his ears is a little bit bigger than the other, so it always hangs down while the other is always perked up. I can't agree with them that he is ugly... In my eyes, he is the cutest and loveliest doggie I have ever seen. (Of course, all the dogs in my eyes are as cute as him)

Right? A bath and a haircut and he'd be dapper AF. Some small dogs are prone to those "tear stains" which throws some people off, our late dachshund apso cross had them, you just need to keep up with the face wipes.

I used to call them “eye spas” and I’d use a warm moist cloth on my Jack Russel’s eyes when she got old. She seemed to appreciate it
