Ranger, a purebred American Kennel Club German shepherd, looks like a puppy despite being 2 years old already. A journey through a series of troubling health conditions ended in a surprising diagnosis; due to a rare genetic condition, this dog will look like a puppy for the rest of his life.
Ranger, who lives in Phoenix, Arizona, with his human mom Shelby Mayo, has pituitary dwarfism. Mayo told the South Wales News Service, as quoted by the Daily Mail, that she knew Ranger was the runt of the litter, but she wasn’t expecting him to remain so tiny forever.
