A rescue shelter discovered a stray dog had a second mouth growing on the side of her head - and it even had teeth and salivated.

She then made her way to Mutt Misfits, a nearby rescue centre for animals with major medical conditions, where they discovered her unusual second mouth in the spot where her ear should be.

Heather Hernandez, the charity's founder and Toad's owner, said: 'Immediately we recognized that she was very different to most dogs.

'Upon her initial intake exam at the shelter, our veterinarian originally thought she had extra ears.
'But once we sedated her for her spay surgery, that's when we discovered that she actually only has one ear and two mouths!'
