This noseless, tailless dog with only three legs is one of the happiest dogs weβve ever seen!
A dog with no nose who was almost put down because nobody wanted her has finally found a home.
Bonnie, a Border Collie cross, was rescued in Romania and was on the verge of being put down due to the extent of the injuries she sustained as a stray.
The pooch was found with her snout missing, leaving a large, open wound, and part of her front left leg missing as well.

Kate Comfort, 29, from Canterbury, spotted Bonnie on Facebook and adopted her months later
Bonnie was brought over to the UK by Beacon Animal Rescue Centre where Kate Comfort, 29, from Canterbury, spotted Bonnie on their Facebook page.
It was love at first site for Kate and Bonnie was officially adopted her a few months later.
Kate, a civil servant, said: βWe adopted Bonnie from Beacon Animal Rescue Centre which is run by my best friend Rebecca.
βRebecca put up a post of her with her beautiful big soulful eyes and huge ears and I just fell in love.
βI had trouble trying to convince my husband at first β as we already had three dogs β but no one wanted Bonnie so I said that I would foster her until we could find her the perfect home.

Bonnie the sweet dog with no nose has finally found a forever home
βThe fact no one wanted her made me want her more, she was vulnerable and needed love.
βIt turned out that her perfect home was our home and we ended up adopting Bonnie ourselves!β
Kate admits she was alarmed by Bonnieβs appearance at first but grew used to it the more time she spent with the dog.
Kate and her husband, Ross, 31, wanted to gain experience of taking care of dogs with unique needs but ended up falling in love with Bonnie and couldnβt give her up.
Upon the decision to adopt her, they began fundraising for Bonnie to get a prosthetic leg, but the wound on her stump kept opening up.
They were advised to remove it and wished they had done it sooner; Bonnie is now completely pain-free and as agile as the coupleβs other dogs.

Kate said: βWe thought about paying for Bonnie to have the surgery, but once we realised it would have been purely cosmetic and would have made no positive impact on her life then we decided against it.
βWe thought putting Bonnie through an operation to try to make her look more βnormalβ would have been cruel.
βOur Bonnie is perfectly imperfect, we love her just how she is and if anyone is offended by how she looks, then that is their problem β not ours.β
Despite some negative comments towards Bonnie, she boasts 14,000 followers on Instagram where she goes by the name of Bonnie the Brave, with her pictures receiving thousands of likes.
Kate added: βI originally created an Instagram page for her when we were trying to raise money for her to have surgery but, even though the surgery never took place, her followers have grown and grown and we have been overcome by how much impact Bonnieβs life is having on people.
Itβs not certain what happened to Bonnieβs face with all of her nose and front part of her mouth missing

βShe is an advocate for unique dogs and we have had so much kindness and positivity, itβs just incredible.
βIn person, most people are amazed by her but again, we have had some negative responses.
βThere have been people who have actively shouted and screamed at Bonnie with one person even trying to kick her.
βPeople have referred to her as βitβ or a βthingβ which hurts my feelings as she deserves the same amount of love as any other dog.
Itβs not certain what happened to Bonnieβs face with all of her nose and front part of her mouth missing, but they suspect it was done by a human when she was living on the streets.
Kate said: βBonnie is one of the best things to happen to us and Iβm so glad we gave her the home and family she deservesβ
Kate said: βWe arenβt totally sure what happened to Bonnie, the girl and her mum who found Bonnie thought it was a train because they had seen her there previously.
βThe other suggestion is that an animal did it, perhaps a fox or a wolf or even a human but we simply do not know.
βDespite this, Bonnie isnβt wary of people, so if it was a human, she is very forgiving.
βBut then again, animals are forgiving creatures β they never fail to amaze me with how tolerant and forgiving they are when subjected to cruelty and abuse.
βI prefer animals to humans, I wish we were more like them, which is maybe why I surround myself with animals, rather than people.
βBonnie is one of the best things to happen to us and Iβm so glad we gave her the home and family she deserves.β
