Bertram, the German Spitz, is clearly a very handsome dog, but at just five months old, he was abandoned by his breeder, who decided he was “too tall” to make any decent money on the sales market.
Deeming Bertram a burden, the unscrupulous breeder abandoned the pup with no further thought.
Abandonment turns into love at first sight
Thankfully, the story doesn’t end there. Bertram was spotted on a pet adoption website by New York artist Kathy Grayson.
Kathy fell in love and travelled to Tulsa to collect him and bring him to his new forever home.
It didn’t take long for artist Kathy to discover that her new pooch was something of a star, so she set up an Instagram account in his honour.
The account immediately attracted huge numbers of followers and Bertram has been such a big draw that he even brings business to his owner’s gallery. Some potential customers bring their pooches along to meet the famous pup, too!
A social media star
Little Bertie is now a social media star on Instagram. Owner Kathy is not at all surprised.
We hope that the cruel breeder who abandoned the young pup has learnt his lesson.
