Every pet deserves love, care, and respect. No matter how they look. After all, it’s the inside that really matters, not the scars we show to the world outside. Unfortunately, the real world isn’t built that way and a lot of people can’t look beyond the “ugliness” of a pet and opt to rescue one that’s prettier.

That’s the tearful reality that German artist Jenny-Jinya, aka Jenny Hefczyc, showed in her comic about an “ugly” dog that nobody wants to bring home with them. The illustrator created the comic as a way to talk about how a lot of people look just at the outside.

Like all of Jenny’s comics, this one has a bittersweet and unexpected ending, too. Have a look for yourselves, dear Pandas, and be sure to tell us all about how the story made you feel. We know you’re big fans of Jenny’s work, so you can have a look through her other recent powerful work featured on Bored Panda here: Orcas, Parrots, Dog. Be prepared to shed a tear.

Jenny told Bored Panda in an interview that she financially supports animal shelters each month and most of her knowledge about what happens there comes from the employees working there who communicate with her digitally. “From the messages I get, many shelters have struggled a lot last year. Many have not been able to hold fundraiser events because of Covid, and so they have lacked donations,” the artist said.

    In the artist’s opinion, we can only speculate about why so many people focus on their potential pets’ looks. “We already know that black cats and dogs are often not adopted because some people think they don’t look good in photos. I have the impression that it’s often less about how the chemistry between man and animal is, but how ‘presentable’ the animal is in photos. Stars who present their ‘designer pets’ and support unethical breeding instead of adopting, might be a problem as well.”

    As for the artist’s plans for 2021, she wanted to keep things a tad mysterious and didn’t give too much away: “I can’t reveal too much yet, but there is a lot planned. Not only in new comics but also in publications.” One thing’s for sure—we can’t wait to see what’s next for Jenny.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Jenny cuts straight to the core of the problem. Even though animal shelters are meant to house pets until they can be rescued, most people would prefer to have an ‘aesthetic’ pet at home, no matter how warm and kind one that’s been hurt before might be. That’s the sad truth.

    Over 254.4k people liked Jenny’s comic that she published right on Christmas eve. The artist already has 469k followers on Instagram and she keeps on drawing in new fans with her emotionally resonating art.

    For her, art has been a passion and an obsession since she was very small. In an earlier interview with Bored Panda, the artist opened up about how her mother joked that she could draw before she could properly walk. In Jenny’s words, she picked up a pencil when she was a kid and “never stopped scribbling.”

    Her goal is to create worlds and tell stories through her illustrations. However, just like other artists, Jenny needs to take breaks. The stories that she does require lots of research which can be draining because of how sensitive the topics are. So she takes a few days off after publishing a new comic to recuperate. Cute cat videos are one of the ways she does this. This way, she avoids burnout and keeps her love for art and animals.

    Storytelling, journalism, and art are a core part of who I am. I've been writing and drawing ever since I could walk—there is nothing else I'd rather do. My formal education, however, is focused on politics, philosophy, and economics because I've always been curious about the gap between the ideal and the real. At work, I'm a Senior Writer and I cover a broad range of topics that I'm passionate about: from psychology and changes in work culture to healthy living, relationships, and design. In my spare time, I'm an avid hiker and reader, enjoy writing short stories, and love to doodle. I thrive when I'm outdoors, going on small adventures in nature. However, you can also find me enjoying a big mug of coffee with a good book (or ten) and entertaining friends with fantasy tabletop games and sci-fi movies.

    Every animal deserves to be loved, no matter it's looks, or it's breeds reputation. I would adopt every one of them if I could. All animals deserve a good life, and even if they're elderly, you should try to give them a good last few months or years

    I literally was denied a pupper because i asked which heartworm test he has had. I would have taken him eitherway but i quote "You can not expect a shelter dog to be healthy". No, but I can expect an answer if the staff tells me it is tested. 15 years of experience with shepherds and podenco, working from home, knowing dogs can cost thousands in treatment - and i was denied a 6 kilo dog. I got another rescue but it was a journey..

    I relate so much to this. Had the same thing happening with a cat at the shelter I volunteered at. Bad looks, bad health, giant heart. After 6 months, when he was getting worse every day, I took him home. Best choice ever. He got better and had more then ten happy years.

    There's no such thing as an "ugly" animal in my opinion. My friend works in an vet office as a receptionist. She showed us a picture of one of the clients, a husky with a Glasgow smile that someone adopted despite everyone else who thought she looked "Scary." The dog is a sweetheart who was abused when she was a puppy.

    I have been blessed to be able to save four babies from shelters. I always adopt the bigger ones because statistically they have a harder time getting adopted. I would save them all if I could. The frame 'No one should have to try so hard just to be loved' killed me. My boy is currently sleeping on my pillows, and I took a moment just now to just look at him. I love him so much.

    When I was a little kid, and if I was at that shelter where there were a ton cute puppies, or that dog. I would chose him. It’s never the outside that matters.

    No one should try to be loved, you have to be yourself and if nobody loves you because of your appearance then screw them! You are beautiful on the inside even if you don't see it someone will have too.

    You do realize plants are living creatures as well? Eating animals can be argued that you are eating the same thing since we are all built of atoms and molecules. You really can't say eating animals is evil because we would have them chained up anyways if we didn't.

    This is beautiful. I was always scared of dogs who looked different, but this gave me a new perspective.

    I have been blessed to be able to save four babies from shelters. I always adopt the bigger ones because statistically they have a harder time getting adopted. I would save them all if I could. The frame 'No one should have to try so hard just to be loved' killed me. My boy is currently sleeping on my pillows, and I took a moment just now to just look at him. I love him so much.

    When I was a little kid, and if I was at that shelter where there were a ton cute puppies, or that dog. I would chose him. It’s never the outside that matters.

    No one should try to be loved, you have to be yourself and if nobody loves you because of your appearance then screw them! You are beautiful on the inside even if you don't see it someone will have too.

    I feel so sad for the dog. That dog is so cute I would have immediately adopted that pupper.

    This is why I love the people who give any dog a chance, whether it be adopting an elderly dog, a disabled dog, an 'ugly' dog (in quotes because no dog is ugly), they are amazing

    Every animal deserves to be loved, no matter it's looks, or it's breeds reputation. I would adopt every one of them if I could. All animals deserve a good life, and even if they're elderly, you should try to give them a good last few months or years What the hell is wrong with you, "animal lovers" ?? Why did you down-voted hobbitly's comment???? Oh, it shows your hypocrisy!!! Do you want to see real cruelty, unimaginable pain and suffering? Go to slaughterhouses!!!

    I would adopt a dog because of fun and nice, not cuteness. I would rather have a dog that is pretty in the inside than ugly in the inside but pretty in the outside

    this makes me sad... but even more than that it makes me mad. people should never judge a pet by the looks... only by the heart. the pure, pure heart. people who put dogs in a shelter because they are ¨ugly¨ deserve to go without any dog because they are not deserving of such a blessing. 😡🤬

    All of my rescued pets were strays I managed to convince to adopt me. After my kids are older and my kitties pass on, I really want to go to a shelter and ask them to tell me which critter needs a forever home

    You do realize plants are living creatures as well? Eating animals can be argued that you are eating the same thing since we are all built of atoms and molecules. You really can't say eating animals is evil because we would have them chained up anyways if we didn't.

    Plants are living creatures but, thank to... I don't know what, they do not have the nervous system like animals. Yes, you CAN say that eating animals is evil because it is. Why would we need to have animals chained up???

    I doubt people social media would react like that. At least not all. Amazing story though. As usual
