Roll out the red carpet for Tuna, a chiweenie underdog with an extreme overbite. This canine's signature smile has made him an Internet sensation.
Tuna's story began with humble roots when he was abandoned as a puppy and found on the street in San Diego by a rescue group. He formed an instant bond with his new owner and his severe overbite has redefined beauty for all dogs and resulted in a massive Internet following of more than 1.1 million fans combined on all of his social media platforms.
I literally laugh out loud sometimes to myself because sometimes his eye's over here and his neck is all like shriveled and his teeth are out and he's hilarious.
With his legion of fans, Tuna's star may be rising ... But like a lot of great Hollywood stories, his began with humble roots.
I saw him with the rescue group, and when I first did, he was very insecure. He was downcast; he was wearing this oversized sweatshirt.
I remember him like looking up at me, like the record stopped and I knew that he and I were going to have a sweet little friendship. Tuna, once rejected, now redefines beauty.
Tuna says, "My mom has taken me on an adventure of a lifetime to the UK. We will be spending the next 3 months here traveling and enjoying this beautiful country."
While he is enjoying his travels, you can see him and other "Super Underdogs" when it premieres Sunday, May 17 at 9pm (et/pt) on Nat Geo WILD!
