Belle has gone viral for her comedic facial expressions caused by a condition which causes the muscles in her head to be stretched back. Despite her shocked expressions, owner Lieschen O’Connor, 38, from Kansas, US, says it only makes her more adorable.
As a result of her birth defect, Belle earns a lot of attention both online and offline.
