Everybody Loves Lentil

Therapy dogs are common on campus amidst finals season, but all them canines are put to shame by the CUTEST little nugget of a puppy, aptly named Lentil, who has become a bit of a viral celebrity. The French bulldog puppy was born with a cleft palate and just turned three months old yesterday (happy b-day, bb).

The 3ish-pound pooch has the most adorable deformity in all of the (internet) land and has developed a cult following on Facebook, even making the leap to BuzzFeed. Mommy's been feeding him through a tube, but a campaign from adoring fans raised money for his surgery, scheduled for May 28...at PENN VET.

Yep, we've landed the most high-profile canine operation in months (Mom blogged the vets "are amazing to worth with"), so if you're in Philly over the summer, wade through the paparazzi at the Vet School at the end of the month to bring Lentil some treats! And until then, it's LENTIL FEST this weekend, complete with concerts and an "everything but the fleas" market. Thanks for choosing Penn – WE LOVE YOU LENTIL! <3
