Dog Born With A Short Spine Was Nearly Euthanized As A Puppy, But Is Now Thriving As Internet Star

Sometimes dogs are born looking a little different, but they still deserve a loving home just like anyone else. While other people might think they look “weird,” it just takes one special person to see their true beauty.

That is the case for one adorable pup, who was born with a rare spinal condition but has now found a loving home and won hearts worldwide.

According to The Dodo, Anna Marie Giannini first met her Tibetan spaniel puppy Tilly when a litter of pups was given away. But Anna was told that one of the puppies wasn’t “normal.”

Tilly was born with a rare genetic condition called “short spine syndrome,” which is just what it sounds like: the puppy has a noticeably short back and barely any neck.

While the condition meant that Tilly would look permanently different, it doesn’t cause any pain, so the dog can lead an otherwise normal life.

But Anna was shocked to find out that the owner was thinking of having the “deformed” pup euthanized.

Luckily, that did not happen, as Anna quickly fell for the tiny, unique dog and rescued her, giving Tilly a home and sparing her from being put down.

“When I got her, she was this dirty little fluff ball,” Anna told The Dodo. “She fit perfectly inside my hand, and as we drove home from where I picked her up, she lay in my lap and looked up at me with her big brown eyes, and I knew she needed me and I needed her.”

Tilly has grown and turned out to be the most loving, attentive dog Anna could’ve asked for.

“She sleeps in bed with me like a little human, putting her head on the pillow and tucking her legs into the blanket,” she said. “She always has to be near me, touching me.”

“When I’m cooking she stands right between my legs. When I’m doing homework, she is laying right next to me with her paws on me.”
