One of my pups is like this, everyone thinks it’s cute, so I never tell them why it’s like this… but, she got her ear bit by an asshole dog. It was clear through. It’s healed now, other than it flops.
After it happened though (and I, unashamedly, kicked the fuck out of the dogs face once I got them separated because the owner wasn’t doing shit( I’m still furious)), she was back to her happy bouncy life. The vet didn’t even have to put her under to clean it, she just… chilled. “Yeah, thanks bro, that was bothering me”
American bulldogs man… they’ll just shrug off anything as long as you’re there with them.
