Tonik, a strange-looking pup with a face that looks human fascinated the Internet this week after photos of him went viral online.
Although the web is nirvana for strange looking animals, this time, all the attention will hopefully do some good: Tonik is in need of a new home.
The two-year-old dog is a poodle/Shih Tzu mix currently living in Mishawaka, Ind., and was brought to an animal welfare agency out of a kill shelter in Kentucky. His portrait, snapped by professional pet photographer Renny Mills first surfaced on Tumblr and went viral after a post on Buzzfeed.
Tonik's Petfinder adoption page describes the wise-looking pup as "a very sweet boy" who is great with other dogs but could be overwhelmed by young children.

Good lord, he doesn't look weird, it's all in how they trimmed him. He's a cutie, if I lived out that way I'd adopt him..my rescue Maltese is the best dog ever, when he's gone, I'm getting another shelter dog, best in the world..

I don't really see anything that peculiar.

I actually submitted an application for this dog yesterday. I fell in love with his sad face and eyes. Poor little guy.
