Dog with two noses needs a home

Duo the dog with two noses
A Staffordshire bull terrier with two noses is looking for a new home after being abandoned or lost by its owners.

Duo - who is named after his unique feature - was picked up by the police after he was found wandering the streets in the Newcastle area.

The three-year-old is now being looked after at Newcastle Dog and Cat Shelter, but people are put off adopting the well-trained dog because of his snout.

Duo's carer Michelle Pyle said: "Duo is not a freak, he's just unusual."

"Not many people can say they've got a dog like that."

Duo's condition is caused by his misshapen lip but apart from his unique look he is fit and healthy.
