A cute dog with apparently ‘human’ eyebrows has appeared on national television after a popular Instagram account was created in its name.
The unusual pooch was invited on the Russian TV show ‘Live On Air’ with popular presenter and producer Andrey Malakhov.
According to local media, Betty the dog was found wandering the city streets of Bratsk in the south-central Russian region of Irkutsk Oblast by residents who took it to the Dobriye Ruki animal shelter.
After photos of the dog were posted online, a woman called Oksana decided to adopt the female dog.

A vet confirmed that its ‘eyebrows’ had not been added artificially and the pooch was only at the shelter for five days before being adopted.
Oksana said: “I’m the happiest owner of the coolest dog ever. She even knows two commands already, sit and come here.”
As well as a loving family, the former stray has also had an Instagram account created in its name.
Betty recently met another famous pet, a raccoon called Tema that became an online sensation when a video of it shaking on its belly went viral on social media.
The encounter took place at the Gorky Film Studio in Moscow while the famous animals were waiting to go on air.
