Zappa the greyhound was turned down for being a show dog, but that didn't stop her from becoming an Internet celebrity!
The pup's goofy appearance is so adorable that it got her more than 36,000 followers on Instagram.
Zappa suffers from a dental illness, which is common in greyhounds, that caused her to lose all but two teeth, reported MSN. As a result of the missing teeth, Zappa's tongue is always adorably hanging out of the side of her mouth.
Zappa's tongue got her such a following that she became a spokes(pet) for Barkbox, a company that sends subscribers a box of new dog toys, treats and other goodies monthly.
Zappa clearly didn't let getting turned down from the show dog business slow her down in life when she was born to two show dogs 15-years-ago.
Now the pup happily lives in Pewaukee, Wisconsin with her humans, two other dogs (a standard poodle named Bazinga and a shih poo named Dylan), and four hairless guinea pigs named Peanut, Pickles, Pepper, and Pipsqueak.
