Her name is Cinnamon 😍By Kristen Warfield
When Jen Deane first heard about a litter of puppies in need of rescue in rural Georgia, she figured they would be cute.
But she never imagined this.
All of the small, tan-colored puppies were equipped with adorably big, pointy ears except for Cinnamon, whose ears curled inward like two tiny cinnamon rolls.
Ive never seen a dog with ears like hers, Deane, president of Pit Sisters, told The Dodo. Everyone cant believe how adorable she is and shes even cuter in person!
snip
While Cinnamon is healthy and enjoying life as a normal (and slightly famous) puppy now, it wasnt always this way. Three weeks ago, she and her siblings had ended up at a public shelter with their parents nowhere in sight. Deane said its likely the pups escaped a neglectful owner; each of them was very skinny, dirty and infected with worms.
snip
In a few weeks, all of the pups except two will be available for adoption. Deane has already fallen in love with Cinnamons brother, Zeke, and has decided to adopt him. Adorable Cinnamon has also found her forever home with a loving family that has three other dogs.

OP
Might be a kind of mutation similar to the one that produced the Scottish Fold cat.

I've heard about that-- also what was done to the Siamese cat breed is criminal

associated with the mutation that causes floppy ears.

(115,831 posts)5. I know, but considering the success of the Scottish Fold,
I just hope nobody decides to breed that puppy in hopes of creating a new, popular dog breed.

(22,899 posts)10. Compared to how they originally looked, they look bizarre
And they're so helpless
Those who exploit animals for their own gain gall me
