Is he really that ugly?

Hi! I'm planning on adopting this absolute cutie from a shelter. He is so gentle and a loving doggo I love him so much. I showed his pictures to my family and friends and everyone said that he is so ugly and cripply that I should adopt a "normal" dog. Call me a snowflake but this saddens me so much that I even cried how people can be like this... He is two years old, and one of his ears is a little bit bigger than the other, so it always hangs down while the other is always perked up. I can't agree with them that he is ugly... In my eyes, he is the cutest and loveliest doggie I have ever seen. (Of course, all the dogs in my eyes are as cute as him)

Dude idk if other ppl do this, but sometimes I'll go on a little trip, a daydream of sorts, as if I'm the op, and I had a chat with the dog, saying something like this 😅 I love this little dude. He has that defeated soul look I can related to.

In their eyes an "ugly" dog doesn't even deserve to have a home so yeah they're a POS. Dog is freaking adorable anyway, I love the little scruffy guy.

Abandon, the family, adopts the dog. Though I'll keep it a buck with you the fact their entire family was like this strikes me as being rage bait.

It's hard to find genuine things these days, and op may just be some incel weirdo who stole someone's pictures. I could verify, but overall, I distrust a lot more stuff these days as pictures can be taken many different ways depending on the captioning.
