A stray puppy who became famous because of her human-like eyebrows has found a home after being rejected by her first owners for being 'weird'.
Betty, five months old, was found wandering the streets of a Siberian city.
A local animal shelter staff gave her a "good wash" thinking the markings were painted on her as a "cruel joke".
But they turned out to be real, winning the dog a new home and fame.
Keeper Olesya Novopoltseva said: "I’ve been working here at the shelter for a very long while but never saw anything like this."
She cared for the stray when she was brought in from the street.
Nadezhda Grozetskaya, a vet in Bratsk city, confirmed the eyebrows were not fake.
The unusual pigmentation was ‘nature’s joke’, she said.
"This is the case of hair pigmentation which doesn’t depend on a (particular) breed.
"Like a birthmark it might become a bit lighter with years but it will never disappear."
New owner Oksana Maymsina has set up a social media account for Betty, and the dog is to be featured on Russia’s top TV chat show after going viral.
"I actually cried when I saw a post about her," said Oksana.
"She had to become my dog."
Shelter staff had initially named her Frida in a tribute to Mexican painter Frida Kahlo with her dark “unibrow”.
