Earlier today, fans of TikTok fell head over heels for a cute rescue dog with an unusual facial feature. Alan, a Saluki-Boxer cross who is just one year old, has a severe deformity that causes his nose to twist and droop to the right, which results in him constantly flashing his bottom teeth. The pet’s owners, Johanna Handley and Dan Strutt from Surrey, first started posting videos of their new furry friend on their daughter’s account after rescuing Alan from the streets of Doha, Qatar, where they currently reside. Alan now boasts almost 200,000 followers on the platform, and his viewers were smitten with him, with one individual confessing that they were overwhelmed by his cuteness.

The dog in question has captured the hearts of many viewers, leaving them unable to handle its cuteness. The owner shared that she found the canine and his family near her house. As they were stray dogs, she could not leave them behind and felt the need to rescue all of them. However, she decided to keep Alan. Johanna and Dan started sharing videos of Alan on TikTok through their daughter’s account, as they were initially skeptical about the platform. Eventually, they took over the account and made it a family one.
