In a world obsessed with perfection, two rescue dogs have become global icons—proving that being “different” is a superpower.
His name is Picasso. Born with a rare facial deformity called “wry mouth,” his upper jaw twists sharply to one side. Overlooked by adopters, he sat on the cold concrete of a high-kill shelter, time running out.
Then there’s Newt. A Golden Retriever puppy who lost his entire upper jaw after a freak accident.
Where others saw “broken” or “unadoptable,” Liesel Wilhardt, founder of Luvable Dog Rescue, saw courage and spark. She saved them both, giving them a second chance at life.
Today, they are internet sensations with over 1.1 million TikTok followers, proving that deformity does not mean disability.
People assume their unique appearances mean pain—but veterinary specialists confirm they are completely healthy, active, and thriving.
Newt figures out how to scoop treats without an upper jaw. Picasso flashes his crooked smile to the camera. Their joy is infectious.
Their platform has become a sanctuary for advocacy, inspiring thousands to adopt the “unadoptable” pets waiting in shelters.
Picasso and Newt remind us that dogs never judge their flaws. They do not care about symmetry or beauty standards. They only know love—both given and received.
As Liesel says, “They don’t know they look different. They just know they are happy.” ❤️
