Madame EyeBrows

Last but not least (and please don’t be sad like Luna), we present you an English bulldog from Germany, righteously named Madame Eyebrows. If you’ve ever tried to imagine a bulldog with eyebrows, you won’t be able to look away.
She has splendid grey spots above her eyes which perfectly resemble eyebrows. And it turns out that a bulldog with eyebrow spots is a peculiar combination that makes this puppy look terribly grumpy.

When you look at Madame Eyebrows it seems that this dog feels absolutely no joy in her life. But according to her owner Janina, her dog’s appearance is very deceiving. Madame is actually a very happy and goofy dog. “In real life, you have to see her only a few minutes and you see that she is happy”.

#EyebrowsOnFleek just got a new meaning, and they are 100% natural. Luna, aka Madame Eyebrows, has the squishiest and poutiest face you have ever seen. Once you lock eyes with this beautiful Bully you won’t be able to do anything but follow.
