A pug rescue is now raising funds so a puppy with a rare genetic disorder that gives her upside-down paws can get the surgery she needs.
Every now and then, nature can throw us all a curve ball and we can watch as an animal that we never would have imagined is brought into the world.
For some animals like the "zonkey," this is the result of an unlikely breeding pair but it's just as possible for an animal's genes to form in such a way that they truly stand out.
That's how things turned out for Pinky the dolphin and a cat with two faces named Quimera, but we rarely find that these unusual conditions do the affected animals any favors.
And that has certainly been true for one little pug named Mila who is awaiting an important surgery to ensure she can live her best life.
