Newt es un cachorro cuyo rostro se caracteriza por tener la apariencia de un “viejo gruñón”, debido a una enorme cicatriz que le dejó su madre al nacer. Ella le mordió la cara cuando él era un cachorro, por lo que perdió toda la parte superior de su hocico.
Sus primeros dueños lo trasladaron al refugio New York Bully Crew en Texas, Estados Unidos, debido a lo costoso que era para él el tratamiento médico, pero cuando una puerta se cierra, otra se abre. Así Newt consiguió una nueva familia gracias a Liesl Wildhart, quien lo adoptó.
Liesl is the creator of Luvable Dog Rescue and Animal Sanctuary , an adoptive home for rescued dogs . The first thing the lady did was alter her or her dog’s name , it moved from being named Brute to Newt , and she brought it with her to her residence located in the city of Eugene, belonging to the state of Oregon (USA) (USA).
It was because to social media that Liesl met Newt , and chose to adopt him as soon as she saw him. “They uploaded images and videos of him on her Instagram account. That’s where I saw it for the first time and I liked it. I wanted to adopt Newt as a personal dog ,” the entrepreneur told Metro .
Newt has two dog brothers , called Picasso and Wacku , who formerly resided with Liesl. In addition to an Instagram account where you may view his travels with others.
At first it was tough for him to adapt to the changes, but presently he enjoys a full and happy life with his owner and the other puppies . His face got a surgery that left him appearing like an amphibian and a “grumpy old guy”, as he has been called on social networks, but with much affection.
There are things he requires help with, like feeding , but it’s not an issue because his owner is always there for him. “I have to hand feed everything he eats because he has a hard time putting food into his mouth, and you also can’t let him eat too much at one time or he’ll spew it up,” Liesl told Metro.
Tanto Newt como sus hermanos tienen desfiguraciones en la cara. Wacku perdió el hocico y el rostro de Picasso queda deformado. “Newt encajaba perfectamente en mi familia de perros y todos lo disfrutaron desde el principio. Es extremadamente vivaz y tonto como un cachorro normal, pero también inteligente y respetuoso con los demás perros”, afirmó Liesl en la misma publicación.
A la dueña de Newt le gustan los cachorros como los suyos porque viven la vida al máximo cuando se les da un hogar y “no sienten lástima de sí mismos ni reflexionan sobre lo que han perdido”, como señaló en la entrevista.
