NATURAL ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) Toby, a dog with the unusual genetic trait of having two snouts, narrowly avoided death after being caught on the streets of Fresno, California and impounded. However, Todd Ray, who runs the Venice Beach Freak Show, happened to come across a post from an animal shelter and asked about adopting the canine. The shelter pushed them for a quick decision as he was due to be put down and Todd and his wife immediately agreed to take on Toby. Ray describes Toby as "the sweetest dog on earth" and has "super-sniffing abilities" and "can find anything with his nose." Toby now lives with Ray's family which includes two other dogs, Rocky the five-legged Miniature Pinscher and Pinky the two-legged Chihuahua. But it's not just unusual dogs that Ray owns -- he also holds the Guinness World Record for the most amount of two-headed living animals. He features in a television show on Netflix called 'Freakshow'.
