Nekku the Corgi has celebrated her eighth birthday with her beloved family, but her eight years in life was not easy at the beginning.
Luckily, a man named Jarmo Korhonen, from Finland saved Nekku from the breeder, took her home, and raised her with his two other Corgis, Niisku-Neiti and Karkki.
"Some say that her name should be called Beretta because her nose looks like a double-barrelled shotgun.
"If we take Nekku for a city walk, it is impossible to just walk. We have to stop every now and then to answer questions and comments about Nekku's nose, eye, and fluffy fur - everybody loves her unique appearance."
Without Jarmo's help, Nekku wouldn't have had a life now. The Corgi has been moved to the Finland countryside where she stays with Jarmo's mom. Regularly, Jarmo comes to visit her, bringing along Niisku-Neiti and Karkki. Despite the defects, Nekku continues fighting all odds to become a good dog.
"We agreed that I should take Nekku to my parents' home in the countryside, where she could live freely but still meet with my other dogs. My mum was so excited to help us."

The dog was born with an unexpected genetic defect that gave her an unusual appearance. Her nose forked and she was absent one eye, and she had two fused vertebrae. For that reason, the vet suggested euthanasia as life would be a torment for the dog. The breeder didn't want to do so, but he also thought that the chance for her to achieve a normal life was very poor.Luckily, a man named Jarmo Korhonen, from Finland saved Nekku from the breeder, took her home, and raised her with his two other Corgis, Niisku-Neiti and Karkki.
