<div><p>Kate Comfort has the perfect name, because that's what she's best at - comforting. At her day job Kate comforts people as a support worker for patients with dementia. At home, she supports the four rescue dogs she cares for. </p><p>While all dogs are special in their own way, one of Kate's pets definitely stands out. Bonnie, a collie mix, was rescued from Romania when she was just a puppy. Found near some railroad tracks, vets guess that the poor thing was hit by a train when she was young.</p><p>Growing up with no tail, a missing front leg and no nose hasn't been easy, but Bonnie is safe and loved. Now, Kate is hoping to make her life better once again with some plastic surgery.</p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/Ugly-Dog.PNG" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/Ugly-Dog_GH_content_550px.PNG 550w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/Ugly-Dog_GH_content_650px.PNG 650w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/Ugly-Dog_GH_content_750px.PNG 750w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/Ugly-Dog_GH_content_850px.PNG 850w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/Ugly-Dog_GH_content_950px.PNG 950w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/Ugly-Dog_GH_content_1050px.PNG 1050w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/Ugly-Dog_GH_content_1150px.PNG 1150w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/Ugly-Dog_GH_content_1250px.PNG 1250w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite>SWNS</cite></figcaption></figure></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p></p><p>From the moment she met Bonnie, Kate says people didn't want to give the poor dog a chance. </p><p>"People were saying put her down, it'll be kinder," she told <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/3039311/britains-ugliest-dog-that-has-no-nose-to-get-plastic-surgery-after-owner-sets-up-fundraising-drive">Southwest News Service</a>. "It's really upsetting. If only they could see her now and see how happy she is."</p><p>While Bonnie can do pretty much everything an average dog can, her missing leg gives her pain. Getting a new prosthetic leg is the biggest goal of Kate's <a href="https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/BonnieFund">online fundraiser</a>, but she hopes to pay for a plastic nose as well.</p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/Dog.jpg" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite>Southwest News Service</cite></figcaption></figure></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p></p><p>In the past, people have made rude comments about Bonnie's appearance. Strangers have even called her ugly to her face. </p><p>"I don't care about how she looks and neither does my husband, Ross," Kate says, "but raising this money will really benefit her."</p><p>Kate hopes to raise £12,000 over the next two months, and donations have already passed £2,000. Hopefully with her surgery, people will start judging Bonnie for what's inside and not how she looks. </p><p><strong>Share this dog's beautiful story with someone you know!</strong></p></div>
