I have a female Pitbull puppy with a bad scar that runs from the left side of her nose, across her nose, and into about halfway of her left muzzle where it splits like a lightning bolt.. She has the most angelic face and eyes l have ever seen. She is precious. I also have bad scars from top to bottom of my left arm. It is horrendous. Part of my bicep had to be cut out. I have been extremely self-conscious of it since the surgery in 2000. I wear a long sleeve shirt 24/7, 365 days a year because l am so ashamed of it. Thank God l have an arm though. Was told that it might have to be amputated. I didn't even notice my puppy's scar until l got home. I bought her very quickly and the girl was in a hurry. I fell in love with her as soon as l saw that gorgeous face. I think perhaps God sent her to me to show me that things with a scar can still be beautiful. We are kindred spirits. I ❤️ my puppy! Thank you, God!
