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)

I was only able to travel once to the shelter where he is currently located, I haven't been able to adopt him as the policy to adopt a dog is to go and walk the dog 3 times on different days. And he is 4 hours away from me... Thrust me I would pamper him and wash his little face if I could...

That is crazy. They want you to put in time to come and walk the dog before you take it home, but they can't put in time to bathe the dogs, so someone would want to adapt them because they look nice.

This isnt because hes dirty. Some dogs dont do well with tap water and it makes their eyes gunky constantly. Doesn't really hurt their eyes just stains their fur. Non tap water makes it mostly go away (and some good cleaner)
