Dog Finally Gets Adopted After His Mother’s Attack Left His Face Wonky
Dogs are, surely, one of the best parts of our human lives. They don’t judge, be it someone’s character or looks, they just enjoy life as it comes. But sometimes, humans can’t see past an animal’s exterior and choose four-legged friends that are aesthetically pleasing. Luckily, there are ones who judge a pooch not by their looks, but by their heart and that’s exactly what a pair, Amanda Richter and her boyfriend Brad Ames did when they came across Brodie.
Brodie is a German Shepherd/Border Collie mix, who was, unfortunately, attacked by his mother at a fragile age of 13 days. The dog attack left the puppy’s face disfigured and as of result, Brodie is now partially blind. But once Richter and Ames set their eyes on the adorable dog, they fell in love.

Brodie’s new owners couldn’t care less about his wonky features when they visited a dog shelter called Old MacDonald Kennels in Alberta, Canada, they knew right there and then this cute dog was meant for them and they adopted him on the spot.

The new owners dedicated an entire Instagram account to share this silly dog’s life and how much fun he was having. In some videos he can be seen joyfully playing with a ball, in other he’s getting ecstatic head scratches and it truly seems like he isn’t bothered by his looks. As fans requested to see Brodie as a puppy, the owners complied and shared a photo with the caption:
“A lot of you guys asked what Brodie looked like as a puppy…..so here you go! Thanks to his old family for getting in touch and showing us just how sweet of a baby he was!”

Before becoming part of Amanda Richter and Brad Ames’ family, Brodie was once adopted by another person. However, they had to give him back to the dog rescue shelter as they weren’t able to keep up with the pup’s endless energy.

As photos of Brodie went viral and people swarmed to his social media account, the pup’s owners were quick to post their thanks and encourage others to adopt animals like Brodie:
“It’s not hard to see why everyone loves this little goofball as much we do lol. We hope that all this recognition will help others make the decision to dog adoption and rescue, especially those “less than perfect” animals out there! They deserve love as much as anyone. Thanks for all the love! Support your local rescues and shelters guys!”

This dog and I woumd have so much whacky adventures. I have depth perception issues, one eye is almost 100% worst than the other and looking at his face is like an optical illusion for me. Can you imagine what would happen if I tried to hand feed him or wipe his mouth? Lol
I have one eye that farsighted and one that nearsighted so I feel you on this one. I tried to watch Avatar in 3D when it came out and ended up throwing up in the bathroom instead. I haven't attempted a 3D movie since. They just don't work for eyes like mine.

I hope they take good care of his eye, eyes can get infected really easily Those are some of the sweetest dogs in the world though, especially the ones you take a chance on. I remember my "less than perfect" dog. She had mental problems- and was one of the best dogs I have ever had.
Just, please, as with particular breeds, make sure you are able to care for a pets disabilities, financially, physically and emotionally before adopting. Don't let sent image and a soft heart make things harder for these sweet babies. This is why I am currently petless.
sadly, John Matuszak died 4 yrs after it was out download-5...97f5a0.jpg 
It ust warms my heart <3 Brodie didnt deserve that but he turned out wonkerfect <333333
A sad and happy story, I think the mother attacked the pup, as she may be in pain, it makes the most sense, after giving birth one of many things could cause her pain,at least a happy ending, Bless the adopters !!!
The cutest boy!! I wonder if he has any health problems cause of his accident ? Like trouble breathing or does his eyes need special care ? I hope he's super healthy!
how could you not love that pup! they don't know they're any different and you'll get all the same love, affection, companionship and loyalty ANY other pet would give. i have a cat with one eye and she has no idea she's any different from her big brother cat.
What I wonder about is if it causes him any breathing issues and if a surgery would be possible (and how expensive). I honestly have hard time looking at him - not because he's ugly, but because this surgery looks so painful that if he was my dog I'd be constantly worried about this.
