A puppy has a facial injury which makes him look like - a ‘grumpy old man’.

Newt's mother bit his face when he was born which led him to lose his entire upper snout.

The pup's original owners could not afford healthcare so surrendered him to the Texas branch of NYBC (New York Bully Crew).

The pooch's plight caught the attention of Liesl Wildhart the founder of Luvable Dog Rescue and Animal Refuge.

Liesl adopted 'Baby Bru' from over 3,000 miles away and renamed him ‘Newt’. He now lives with her in Eugene, Oregon.

Liesl said: ''Newt was rescued as a tiny puppy.

“I don’t know why the mother dog bit her puppy, it could have been a horrible accident.

“The owners could not afford vet care so “Brute” was surrendered to the New York Bully Crew (NYBC) who had rescue partners in Texas where Brute was born.

“They posted photos and videos of Baby Bru on their Instagram account. That’s where I first saw him, and I fell in love. I wanted to adopt Newt as a personal dog.”

Newt has not let his rough start in life get him down and now lives a happy life in the loving care of Liesl and his adopted ‘siblings’ Picasso and Wacku.

The videos within this compilation were filmed throughout 2021.
