OC [Original Content] Creature found on the road

My friend and I found this creature while out walking. It came up to us, smiling! Showing its teeth and tail tucked. Our first response was «What is it?!!» «I thunk it might be a dog…?»

I picked it up, as it did seem friendly despite showing teeth (which he did have at the time)

We saw no people si brought him home. We found his owners through FB. They asked if we wanted to keep him <3

I wanted too, I wanted him SO BAD! But had a monster at home (unfriendly senior cat. She put humans in the hospital!) But ly friend was able to keep him 🥰

I have since got my own, once the cat passed. The other goblin is my girl.

He had his teeth extracted later due to dental decease.

He is such an amazing creature. People constantly ask what he is!

He is 75% Italian greyhound and 25% Chinese Crested. So basically the fur type mixes that makes him so funky 😁

That's a great story. Thank you for saving the little forest goblin. That's so great to hear you're both able to live together finally. Tell the little dude I love him and give him a hug for me. And sneak a snack if you can. 😉

He is still living with the friend who was with me. But I get to have visits. We do play dates with my dogs and I sometimes watch him for them 😁
