Mangle Mouthed Muts Survive Surgery

HUNTINGTON, N.Y. -- Two puppies born with cleft palates have had their first corrective surgeries and are said to be doing well.

The puppies, named “Magic” and “Merlin”, are about three months old. Because of their cleft palates, they were ugly. Very sad and ugly. Their barks were muffled garbage that witnesses reported as “more of a marbly ‘Borph, borph’ than a ‘Bark, bark’”.

They were “rescued” from a New York City shelter and taken to the Little Shelter Animal Adoption Center on Long Island, although, employees at the Little Shelter Animal Adoption Center aren’t sure why.

“I don’t even want to look at the little freaks” said Dr. Loyale, a physician at the Shelter.

A woman who volunteered at the Little Shelter when she was a teenager performed the surgery for free. Despite having no experience in performing surgery, she reported that the surgery went well and that the puppies are receiving pain medication and are wearing medical collars so they won't scratch their ugly mouths.

They're being fed through a tube, a twisted little tube, but the woman said they should be able to mangle food on their own soon.

They're expected to need more operations to completely repair their palates, but they will always be ugly. In fact, experts caution would-be adopters that they may grow more ugly once they outgrow the typically cuter “puppy phase”.
