He was callously thrown out onto the street when his owner lost interest in him - but still manages to see the best in people despite everything he has been through.
Little Bobby has spent about 550 days in rescue after being picked up by Blind Dog Rescue UK, who rehome dogs who have been subjected to the 'worst of humanity'.
The seven-year-old dog, who is completely blind, was wandering the streets searching for his former family when the rescue team came across him.
A spokesperson said: "Meet handsome Bobby with the longest tongue ever.
"He was used for breeding and the owners said they have purchased another dog of his kind and they threw him on an open road 80km away from home on purpose.

"When they called him Bobby for the first time he started screaming and searching for his owners - it broke their hearts."
Currently living in a private shelter in Macedonia, the team are striving to secure Bobby a new home in the UK, where he can experience love for the first time.
Despite featuring as Blind Dog Rescue UK's 'Dog of the Day' nine times over a year and a half, nobody has come forward to offer him a place in their home.
One user said on Facebook: "Please somebody give this absolutely gorgeous baby his forever home.
"I can't take him as we have three furbabies now - two rescues, one from the UK and a little Romania diva girl, then an 11-month-old puppy.
"Rescue animals give you their undying love."
While another user added: "So heartbreaking. There must be a home for him to let him realise he will be loved always."
A third said: "Such a handsome boy Bobby. I pray you are soon settled in the happy forever home you truly deserve sweetheart."
Blind Dog Rescue UK works to rehome blind and partially sighted dogs who have been victims of abuse, neglect, disease or trauma - and struggle to survive in shelters.
A statement reads: “It is incredibly difficult for sighted dogs to survive any length of time in these shelters let alone blind or partially sighted dogs.
“We need to get to these dogs quickly and secure their immediate release and treatment.
“These dogs may have been deliberately blinded, involved in road traffic accidents or long term sufferers of painful conditions such as glaucoma.
“They need veterinary care and to be given the safety and comfort of a foster home in which to start healing.
“Here they are given love and affection and a warm bed - possibly the first they will have experienced in their lifetimes.
"At this point, we are able to start assessing and promoting these wonderful dogs for forever homes."
