Chupacabra, or Chupey, is much sweeter and more gentle than the blood-sucking creature he was named after.Not all dogs are born the same. But no matter how they’re born, a dog always deserves somewhere to come home to. That was the choice we made when we domesticated them countless ages ago.
We just can’t help it. Through all those years of evolution, their lives are just tied to ours. So we find ourselves doing everything to make their lives better.
This dog here was born with a toothy smile, and he’s loved all the more for it.

It began when this dog’s would-be mom was called by a family she didn’t know. They’d gotten her number from someone else, and heard that she was experienced at doing foster care for dogs.
Their outdoor dog had a litter of puppies recently, and one of them stood out.

His eyes were small for a puppy, and his muzzle was unusually large and showed off his teeth. Lastly, his ears curled back sharply. No one knew exactly why.
There was no denying he looked strange. But that was really it. The looks were the only thing strange about him.
Beneath that funny, toothy face was a sweet, friendly puppy.
He was given the name Chupacabra after the blood-sucking cryptid said to dwell in Mexico.

His foster observed him to see if his condition extended to his behavior and brain too. This didn’t seem to be the case. He showed no signs of mental slowness or eccentricity.
But there were some things going on with his organs. He suffered liver problems in his early days – as well as gashes on his ears after two other dogs played tug of war with him as the rope. Poor Chupey!
The reason for his appearance was soon discovered. It was a duplicate of a chromosome fragment.

Chupey didn’t let anything stop him though. With help from his foster mom, he got back on his feet and kept living like a normal puppy.
And just like any normal puppy, he had a charming charisma about him that was too much to resist.
All that time spent at his foster’s house really got to him. Now he didn’t want to leave!

His foster mom didn’t want him to leave either. Well, talk about a result being mutually beneficial!
Her observation about his spirits was dead-on.
Chupey, as she calls him, is happy and energetic all the time.

There’s little that gets him down, and playing with other dogs is always a joy for him.
So fate decided that his foster mom became his permanent mom.
Her home was now his forever home, and he’s been delighted ever since.

On Instagram, he can be seen living every day without a care in the world. Must feel amazing, huh Chupey?
That signature smile of his can be seen in many of his Instagram photos. Chupey has a lot to smile about, after all.
