His current owner, Joey Teixeira, got Mervin a year back from a
shelter, where Owen works. He came to the shelter in quite a bad shape.
He had to get his knee repaired and his teeth removed as both of them
were not functioning properly at all. Having no teeth is a reason why
Mervin cannot keep his tongue inside his mouth. Fearing that no one will
adopt the dog, 27-year-old Joey adopted the dog and make it live with
his other pets at home.
After taking a few cute images of Mervin, Joey decided to put them
online and it got a huge response. At this point, Mervin has 20,000
followers in Twitter and 9,000 fans in Facebook. With his growing
popularity, the owner feels that the process of adaptation will get a
huge boost in the community and similar to Mervin, many dogs will find a
home.
