Sadly, there are a lot of stray dogs in the world. They don't know where to go, what to eat or where to sleep. However, sometimes luck falls upon these pups and they find their forever homes.
That's what happened to this unique dog. She was found on the streets of Bratsk, Russia. “Betty was just 10 days old. She was roaming the streets when they found her” - said her owner Oksana to Bored Panda. When people took her to the shelter, they thought someone played a mean trick on her and drew on some eyebrows, but after trying to clean them off, they realized they were just unique markings.

“Her eyebrows are her birthmarks from her mom and dad. The skin where the eyebrows are is darker than everywhere else. So nature decided it” - explains Oksana about her unique markings. Because of her unique features, the shelter decided to name her Frida in honor of the famous Mexican artist, Frida Kahlo. When they posted about the dog on their website, she immediately captured the internet's attention. They were all sending her good wishes and hoping that she would get adopted soon.

Oksana was one of the many people whose heart was captured by this adorable pup, “I saw her in the photo on the shelter's website and fell in love. Many people called to pick her up but when they saw her, they refused” – she said. Oksana decided to take Frida home, however, she gave her a new name – Betty. “When I saw her, I cried. And when I picked her up, she immediately fell asleep, and again I cried with happiness.”

At first, Betty was a little bit scared. Oksana remembers that “it was necessary to carry her to the vet. She got all the necessary vaccinations and I've applied for her passport.” However, after all her hardships, Betty fell in love with her new family. “She is a gift of fate, smart, affectionate and loves children. I look at her and always smile. I am lucky to have the best dog in the world” – Oksana lovingly said about her new family member.
