Two-nosed dog – level 3

08-11-2023 15:00

A shelter in Fresno, California picked up a two-nosed dog roaming the streets. The institution tried to find him a home, which proved a near impossible task and Toby was at risk of being put down.

Luckily for the dog, Todd Ray, a music producer with the habit of adopting unique pets, saw the advert and took Toby the dog in. The artist, who worked with artists like Mick Jagger, the Beastie Boys, and Cypress Hill, holds a world record for owning the largest number of two-headed living animals. His newest pet joins Rocky, the five-legged Miniature Pinscher, and Pinky, the two-legged Chihuahua.

Toby can play and fetch like any other dog, but thanks to his two noses, he can find anything no matter how well it is hidden. Mr Ray says that Toby is the sweetest dog on earth.

Difficult words:  shelter (a place for dogs who have no home),  roam (to walk), put down (to kill).
