When people would ask Harley “Why does your tongue hang out?” this is what he would say:
“You see, when I lived in the puppy mill I had to drink from a rabbit water bottle, I never lapped up water like a regular dogs did, so I was never able to rinse my mouth and bacteria grew and rotted my teeth away. I never saw the vet or had my teeth cleaned, so my teeth started to fall out. I still had a few teeth and even one big snaggle tooth when I was rescued, but eventually I had to have those removed. When I was born I had all 42 teeth and now I have none. I don’t mind too much, except they do help hold your tongue in.”
I believe it was Dogly that started the #TongueOutTuesday trend. They were big supporters of Harley and they created a campaign to raise awareness about puppy mills. This campaign also raised funds for National Mill Dog Rescue through their Dogly Do Good Grant Program. Dogly is a fun mobile app that helps shelters and rescue.
