A dog with a very long snout has gone viral after her proud owner shared photos of the pooch posing for mesmerizing portraits.
2-year-old Eris is an adorable borzoi dog that loves exploring her garden and playing with her toys. On the side, she also takes pleasure in posing for photos that make rounds on the internet.
As Eris’s owner, 27-year-old Lily Kambourian from Richmond, Virginia, said, she believes it’s possible that her dog has the longest snout in the world.
According to Lily, the pooch, who goes under the full name of ‘Madam Eris Overbite, Queen of Snoots’, was born in a litter of three and now has hundreds of thousands of fans on social media.
Not only does Eris boast of her large volume of followers but the pooch also has an astoundingly long snout that measures 12.2 inches.
“This would rule them out for any dog shows as it is a genetic defect. But that didn’t bother us. She came right up to us and sat on my partner’s lap,” Lily explained.
“We get stopped a lot when we are walking Eris because most people are trying to figure out what breed she is, but we’ve started finding paths through the neighborhood where we can actually get a walk done.”
Borzois, also known as the wolfhounds, are known for their large and slender bodies and their elongated snouts. In cases of overbite, their snouts might appear unnaturally long – but extremely adorable nonetheless.
“We were warned when she was a puppy that she may be having dental issues, where the teeth would poke into the gums and she may have needed canines removed,” the owner added.
“But she just sort of grew past it. There are no issues from her long nose, she drops food everywhere but so do I.”
As Lily concluded, Eris is a lovely companion who loves mingling with people and other dogs.
