- Dorothy is a pug naturally born without hair.
- She looks a little different for her baldness, but she “got the full pug personality!”
- Her mom Micah Williams, who loves her dearly, thinks she is “the sweetest dog ever.”
Meet Dorothy, the hairless pug.
A first look at her would oftentimes leave people confused or shocked at her uniqueness. Dorothy is naturally bald. She doesn’t have a skin condition or anything, and her hairlessness is permanent, ever since she was born.
“My favorite thing in the world is people seeing her and reacting,” Micah Williams, Dorothy’s mom, told The Dodo. “It’s either pure horror or instant adoration.”
It remains a mystery to Micah as to what Dorothy’s lineage is. She is definitely a pug, but her hairless mix breed is unknown.
“We got a dog DNA test and we got 87.5 percent pug [and] 13 percent terrier or other, so no answer there,” the fur[less] mom said.
Dorothy’s baldness wasn’t really a problem to her and her family. The only trivial concern they have over it is layering her up during winter so she won’t get cold — which actually isn’t a problem at all.
“When I got her, we lived in Phoenix, so we didn’t have to worry too much about clothing,” Micah said. “However, we moved to Chicago about eight years ago, so [she] requires copious amounts of sweaters, dog onesies and puffy coats in the winter.”
Besides her hairlessness, another adorably unique thing about Dorothy is that she looks a little annoyed most of the time, but in reality, she’s really not. As her mom puts it, “despite the looks on her face, she is the sweetest dog ever.”
“She loves to snort, snuggle, eat and sleep — apparently she got the full pug personality!” Micah added that Dorothy loves snacks and is a total love bug!
Despite she looks a little different, her family wouldn’t trade her for anything else, not even for the furriest pup there is in this world.
