Two worlds collided this weekend when internet sensations Lil Bub and Tuna met for the very first time.
But Tuna and Lil Bub (among others) should be an example for the lay pet purchaser: the "highly adoptable" types are not always the animals that will truly capture your attention.

It comes in six toes, overbites, an awkward bald spot behind an ear, weirdly shaped jaw bones and nubby tails.
