Dog Belle makes the TikTok community laugh with her bulging eyes.
But her funny face has a serious background.
Beauty is known to be in the eye of the beholder.
This sentence not only applies to the dog Belle literally, but also in a figurative sense.
Because the four-legged friend cannot score points with classic beauty due to the bulging eyes.
But that doesn't make him any less lovable.
On the contrary: because of her distinctive look, Belle is followed by more than 227,000 people on TikTok.
But what is behind her unique face?

When you see Belle, a Doberman Cattle Dog crossbreed, you cannot help but smile.
In an indescribable way, the dog looks as if he is constantly amazed and raises his eyebrows in irritation.
You just have to love him.
That's what happened to owner Lieschen O'Connor from the US state of Kansas.
When she looks Belle in the face for the first time, the decision has already been made.
In 2017, she adopted the bulging-eyed dog from the Lawrence Humane Society, the
Daily Mail
reports.

Bitch with bulging eyes - birth defect causes an irritated look
Since then, the owner regularly shares videos of the dog on the
bellebows4117
channel .
And they are well received.
Belle is now a real internet star who makes people laugh.
But behind the irritated look is a birth defect, Lieschen O'Connor explains to the British
Express
.
From birth, the muscles on the dog's head are stretched back slightly, pulling up the skin on the eyes.
Luckily, Belle can live with the birth defect because it hardly affects her health.
She only needs eye drops from time to time.
Bitch with bulging eyes - people on the web are delighted
