Pup who’s a bit dog-eared
AS a pup of uncertain origins, Lucy the rescue dog probably feels safer having some ID on her every time she goes walkies.
But not for her a mere collar tag or microchip. Instead, Lucy has a perfect self portrait on her left ear.
The markings on the black and white puppy’s ear show two floppy ears, eyes, a nose and a mouth.
Lucy, who is now eight months old, was part of a litter delivered at a US rescue centre called Lollypop Farm. She was adopted by New York students Cassidy Troy, 19, and her boyfriend, Zach Johnson, 20.
Mr Johnson said: ‘Everyone thinks she is so cute and then when they spot her ear they usually say, “Oh my gosh that is super cool”.’
Miss Troy added: ‘When we tell people about her ear they don’t tend to believe us until we actually show them.
‘I have yet to meet a person that doesn’t fall in love with her after meeting her.’
