Meet the cute little puppy with ‘braces’!


This is Wesley, a six-month-old golden retriever puppy from Spring Lake, Michigan, who has been fitted with braces and has become an internet celebrity after images of his goofy brace-covered grin went viral. The Harborfront Hospital for Animals in Spring Lake shared the images on their Facebook page, featuring the pup from when he was just a tiny newborn up to when a dental problem caused him to be fitted with a mouthful of metal courtesy of his owner Molly Moore's father Jim, a veterinarian. Apparently, he was not able to close his mouth properly because of the position of his teeth.
'When people hear that Dr. Moore is a "doggie dentist", they immediately say things like: "What? Does he put braces on dogs, too?" The answer is . . . yes. Yes, he does,' read the hospital's Facebook post.
And lucky for Wesley, he only needs to wear the braces for a matter of weeks to correct the issue!
