Because of an unusual birth abnormality, this rescued dog always seems astonished, and it has dog owners in stitches.
Since going viral, Belle's condition—which causes the muscles in her skull to be stretched back—has been credited for her hilarious facial expressions. Lieschen O'Connor, 38, from Kansas, US, believes her pet's startled looks just add to her cuteness.
Belle's birth deformity has made her a media sensation, both online and off.
Regularly, people would stop Lieschen on the street because of his funny faces.
When it comes to the agony associated with her disability, Belle has no complaints.
Lieschen got his Doberman mix in 2017 from the Lawrence Humane Society, which helps abandoned and mistreated animals.
She thinks Belle has the sweetest expressions, and she hears it all the time from everyone who meet her.
In only a few months, Bella's videos on TikTok have amassed over 160,000 fans.
Both "She is the prettiest puppy on TikTok I adore her so much" and "Her reactions make my heart swell" were written by adoring fans.
Another person chimed on, "I know why, but she just looks so shocked all the time and it hurts me."
Tyler, Kansas's Lieschen, a higher education project manager, said: "She is wonderful among both children and pets.
"Belle is really affable and has a little sense of humor. Belle would have a great time, if dogs could laugh."
Bella's eyes become dry from her perpetual wide-open stance, so Lieschen often gives her eye drops.
Also, she said "Meeting her in person almost always elicits compliments on her attractiveness and the expressiveness of her face.
