Rami, the pit bull- dachsund mix, becomes an ‘ambassador’

He’s the offspring of the most unlikely of canine partnersthe short legged, long bodied dachshund and the larger, stronger pit bull.

The pit bull- dachshund mix’s look brings him attention at a local shelter, where his picture goes viral. Adoption offers and fame pour in.

“It is a true pit bull head on a dachshund body,” Dawn Blanton of the Moultrie-Colquitt County Humane Society said last month.

His picture posted on the shelter’s Facebook page has more than 2.4 million hits, Blanton told CNN affiliate WALB.

And the pup’s taking his ambassador role seriously: His page features photos of him sending off fellow animals to new owners.
