Salty the Greyhound has a very pronounced bite that gives the teeth a human look. While many shelter visitors thought her teeth were ugly and grotesque, a Melbourne family eventually fell in love with her and adopted her!

Mom Lucy Percival had a great time cuddling Salty and discovering a new side of her personality every day. But one day, Salty started gnashing her teeth uncontrollably and this caused concern to her parents. As Lucy hugged Salty and wondered what was wrong, the dog’s chatter grew louder.

Eventually, the family realized that Salty wasn’t sick, scared or cold, but the cause of her uncharacteristic teeth chattering were rooted in love! Salty had never experienced so much love and comfort in her life, and her heart simply exploded every time her family made her happy. This overwhelming sentiment automatically caused her teeth to chatter!

Over the years, the Percivals have become used to having a noisy household because of Salty’s frequent joyful teeth chattering. Many people misunderstand and question the family about Salty’s well-being, to which they have to explain that it’s an involuntary response similar to a cat’s purr…

Lucy Salty calls it the greatest gift of her life, and she also thanks her “social” dog for helping her create priceless friendships in her community. Rescue dogs are always such a blessing, no matter what they look like!
