Well eye never! Vets are baffled after Frankie the Jack Russell-cross was born with hair growing through his EYEBALLS
Vets have been left baffled by a dog born with hair growing through its eyes – after an animal lover adopted the pup from a farm where he was due to be put down.
Seven years later, Tracey still has little answers on Frankie’s distinctive attribute, but she has surprisingly found that her pet isn’t completely blind, has no health problems and captures the hearts of her family and friends just like any other dog.

Dog lover and garage worker Tracey Smith, 43, from Tunbridge Wells, Kent rescued Frankie from being put down
‘I said to the man there that they were lovely and he told me that one had already been sold, but he was having to put one of them down soon.
‘I looked at him and asked what was wrong with the dog because he was running around looking normal.
‘I took him straight to the vets and had Frankie checked out – they were baffled by his eyes as well and had never heard of it before.
