She reached a point where she couldn’t stand her dog being referred to as “unattractive” any longer, so she showcased its inner beauty and gained widespread attention on the internet. It’s regrettable that some people resort to harmful labels to criticize others, as it’s unacceptable to belittle anyone’s appearance – not only humans, but also creatures.

It’s important to accept all living beings for who they are, regardless of their differences. Unfortunately, some people are fixated on judging appearances in specific situations, even though it’s not something that can be controlled at birth.
Meet Alan, a charming one-year-old boxer and mixed-breed dog who was born with a genetic condition that causes his nose to be crooked and tilted to the right when he closes his snout. Alan was rescued by Johanna Handley, a 41-year-old woman from Godalming, England, after she found him abandoned in Doha, Qatar. Despite his unique appearance, Alan is still a lovable and valued member of the family.
Johana defended her beloved dog Alan, despite negative comments from others. She decided to create a social media account for him to showcase his unique and lovable qualities. This was a great success, and Johana is proud to have shown the world how special Alan truly is.
Johanna decided to add more challenge to her situation by creating an account for her pet dog, Alan, called “Alan the Wonky Dog.” The account was specifically made to directly address those who criticize Alan’s appearance. Johanna shared that she received a lot of negative feedback about Alan’s looks and some even offered to send her money for his surgery. However, Johanna explained that there’s no way she’d accept the offer. Despite the criticism, Alan has become one of the most famous furry pets on social media, with over 141,000 followers and over a million likes on his posts.
Johanna aims to showcase the beauty of her dog’s inner qualities, disregarding his physical appearance. She advocates for adopting dogs with special needs that require love and attention, emphasizing how deserving they are of a happy life. Worried about potential respiratory problems in her dog, Johanna consulted a veterinarian about surgery, only to find out that he is in great health. She refused to subject her beloved dog to the painful and unnecessary procedure of breaking and fixing his nose and jaw. Despite negative comments, Johanna has defended her furry companion with unwavering courage and affection. She has been overwhelmed by the positive responses she received since starting her account, revealing how much everyone adores him. Saving him has brought immense relief to Johanna and her family, making him an integral part of their lives.
Alan’s story is truly touching; we can support his mother’s cause of adopting quirky puppies by sharing it with others.
