My wife hates it when I say that, but look at it! Broken. I keep saying, just a toothpick and some scotch tape and we've fixed the problem but she won't let me do it.

Honestly, that ear looks perfect, but the other one needs a massage; it's too stiff :-)

Sure, I can see it that way. But either both ears should go up or both ears should go down. And my wife refuses to let me try to fix this problem!

Because its adorable and there nothing wrong with him. You don't "fix" this like you don't "fix" heterochromia or vitiligo.

I'm not saying surgery. I'm telling you, a toothpick and some tape and problem solved.

But there is no a problem. There's nothing wrong with him. Makeup "fixes" vitiligo but there's nothing wrong with it. You should be proud of what you look like.

It doesn't affect his quality of life or his health, it doesn't make him deaf or anything that would be fixed by both ears being the same. All it does it make him look like a mutt and disqualifies him from any dogs shows. Which are just superfluous standards that promote actual, debilitating deformities. Look at showdog German shepherds as an example. Poor things can't even walk because of "aesthetics". Bulldog and flat faced dog breeds are another famous example. They can't breathe. They can't swim. They can't even reproduce normally.

Your dog isn't broken. There are no problems. And I'm afraid of any children you may have if you seriously hold views like this.

Dude. It's a joke.
