A pup was left looking like a cartoon character when its face ballooned after being stung by a hornet.
Clouds, an eight-week-old pitbull mix, was playing in the backyard when she got stung on her snout by a bald-faced hornet.
The face of the poor puppy ballooned to twice its size, leaving her in need of a shot of benadryl and a shot of steroids.
Foster carer Jean Mosher, 41, from Raleigh, North Carolina, USA, said: “The hornets are attracted to the puppies’ poop so they hover around the area.

“Of course, I make sure to clean up the poop whenever it occurs but you can’t always get there in time.
“I think Clouds just stumbled on to the hornet and agitated it, so it stung her.”
As soon as Jean’s husband, Kirby Culbertson, noticed the swelling, Clouds was rushed to the vets where she was kept in observation.
