Does he have a doggie [harelip](http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JJnEKlAkw5o/S_tII1aU6GI/AAAAAAAADho/cNyF0XVfJTQ/s400/chase.jpg) or something? It looks like his nose is two separate parts…

Cute, though.

A rather extreme form of a cleft lip, probably cleft palate too.  
Creeps me right out.

Cute dog, but probably a messy eater and drinker.

One of the great things about animals is that they don’t know they’re ugly. [That’s very funny!](http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~fatwa/ren/songs.html)
