Couple Adopts Dog with a “Wonky Face”, TikTok Falls in Love

While living in Qatar, the Strutt family encountered a unique stray dog at a nearby construction site. This dog, affectionately named Alan, stood out due to his crooked snoot and protruding bottom teeth, a look shared by his entire family. When caring for the pack became overwhelming for a worker at the site, the Strutts, along with others, stepped in to rescue them.

Alan’s distinctive appearance captured the hearts of millions online. The Strutts created a TikTok account for him, @alanthewonkydog, which now boasts over 2.4 million followers. Alan’s journey from a stray in Qatar to an internet sensation living on a French island is nothing short of remarkable.

Despite his unconventional looks, Alan is adored by everyone he meets, especially children. Many people are curious if Alan needs surgery to straighten his nose, but his dad, Dan Strutt, assures that Alan is perfectly healthy and enjoys his food with no issues.

Alan’s charm has even inspired a children’s book, further spreading his joy. A recent TikTok clip asking users to rate Alan’s cuteness garnered over 1.5 million views and 121,800 likes, with unanimous agreement that Alan far exceeds the cuteness scale.
