Beauty truly is only skin deep......

A rescue puppy dubbed Picasso due to his wonky features has finally found a forever hope and is working as a therapy dog, after tragically losing his brother to a brain aneurysm.

The corgi pitbull-terrier mix - born with a misaligned jaw - had been dumped at a center for unwanted dogs in California when he was rescued.

Picked up alongside his brother, later named Pablo, they both faced euthanasia had it not been for Luvable Dog Rescue founder Liesl Wilhardt.

Tragically just months after being saved, Pablo died of a brain aneurysm leaving Picasso, who is just over a year old, completely alone.

Now Picasso lives with Liesl and her nine other rescued dogs at her home where he is training to help those with disabilities.

Liesl - who founded Luvable Dog Rescue 18 years ago - said: 'Picasso is a very special dog, with an exceptional temperament.

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

@KingstonsMom Thank you for sharing this touching post....I love Liesl for seeing the love in the heart of this precious Picasso. Now he is able to share his loving heart with those who share disabilities. Yes, Beauty at its best.
