Imperfections are common in nature. One such example is a dog with a neck defect from Georgia, USA.
Piglet was born in one of the forests near Atlanta.
Her mother is a wild dog.
Despite serious structural abnormalities, the dog survived.
She was taken in and cared for by Kim Dillenbeck, who gave the animal a funny nickname.
A dog without a neck is missing spinal vertebrae: some are missing altogether, while others are intertwined with the spinal cord and fused together.
Piglet is also missing two ribs and his hip joints are twisted.
The body size of a disabled dog is half the size of a normal dog.
At 8 months old, the disabled dog weighed only 7 kg (the required weight is 18 kg).
As soon as photos of the unique dog appeared on the internet, Khryusha immediately became popular.
Despite her physical flaws, she is kind and affectionate.
Today, Khryusha lives a full life, like any other dog. And she probably understands how lucky she is to have her owner.
