A 6-month-old female pug, Rosie, suddenly developed a male look when she was 4 months old. A veterinarian who was so surprised said that she was an androgynous dog!

At first, the 22-year-old dog owner Sadie Beardshaw noticed a bulge near Rosie's private parts. She was concerned about the dog's health, so she took the dog to the veterinarian. Although she was worried about whether the dog was sick, the vet revealed a shocking truth to her: Rose's bump was actually a fully functioning male genitalia!

Sadie, who lives in Yorkshire, told the Daily Star Online: "When the vet turned around and told us that Rosie had a baby brother, Craig and I couldn't believe it. We were petrified and could only giggle. The veterinarian said he had never seen anything like this before, and then he picked up the puppy and showed it to everyone in the clinic.

Sadie said that she discovered the bump when the puppy was 4 months old. It is understood that Rose's birth date does not show this gender mixing phenomenon. Veterinarians say the chance of intersex is one in a million.
