It only takes one quick look at Rae to see that she's not like most dogs. Rae is only 12-weeks-old, but she became an overnight sensation thanks to the single ear sitting right on top of her head.

Rae had surgery just two days into her life to repair the tear on her head and face. As the stitches healed, Rae started to get larger and, according to Brianna, 'her remaining ear started to migrate upwards and she almost looked like she was going to have a facelift.'
