Since it’s been a little time since we originally told you about Quasimodo the dog, we thought we’d give you an update.

One of only 15 puppies of his species in the entire world, this dog is very unique. But his mother would probably say that there is nothing better than him.

Short ridges, a rare birth defect, were present in this adorable furry infant. He’s a true German Cowgirl, just shorter, as his mother puts it.

He was brought to Kentucky as a messy dog. Quasi was extremely shy and afraid of people. But his personality emerged as he got to know a kind mortal named Rachel.

Currently, he enjoys life by playing with his musketeers, racing through the snow, and chasing little girls (apparently, he’s quite the ladies’man!).

Quasimodo receives all the care and attention he requires at Secondhand Hounds, a non-profit organization that his mortal invented and which saves hundreds of creatures every time.

He must follow other children’s examples and do things like eat without leaning over, but he is now a contented, dapper dog with plant suckers all over the world.

… and also us!
