This Puppy Was Born With A Birth Defect. But When You Meet Him You’ll Fall Madly In Love.

Meet Lentil — and prepare to fall in love. The only surviving puppy out of his litter, Lentil was born with a cleft palate and survived life-saving surgery. When he's not playing and being cute and silly, he now helps to honor kids with craniofacial differences.

Mom says on Lentil's own Facebook page, "Lentil is a french bulldog pup who was born on 2/2/2013 with a severe cleft hard/soft palate, lip, and nose. Although, at times, it seems as if all odds are against him — this kid is a fighter! He was being fostered through FBRN. Lentil's Mom tube fed him every 3hrs, and he is consistently gaining about 1oz/day! Her life is dedicated to keeping this boy going… and we are so grateful to have such a huge support group! Thank you so much for all of the love and support!!"
