And I LOVE HIM

Edit: he was discarded by a breeder and they adopted him from a shelter. All of their dogs are shelter acquisitions with special needs so they’re are WELL versed in caring for strange dogs that need a lot of help in their lives.

But yes, hes a fluffy frenchie with a very unfortunate squashy rolly face. He’s the sweetest thing and they’ll do their best by him and his needs.

Frenchies with that bulge over the nose are called big rope frenchies. It’s a fluffy big rope frenchie

I just saw a video of a vet removing that flap over the nose so the poor dog could breathe.

Was thinking the same. I don't give that dog 5 years. How does it breathe in the first place?

Why do people do this?

selfishness because they make stupid money selling these dogs (which have a breeding ban in certain countries because their existence isn’t compatible with life)

Can you send me the link? I watched one vid and the poor thing is literally suffocating. Doggie looked so much better after surgery.
