Before surgery, Missy’s nose, which was injured repeatedly during several Chinese tornadoes that ravaged parts of the southern United States, often leaked stuffing—a problem that can be fatal in pink poodles and other Build-A-Bear animals. While Missy doesn’t look the same as she once did, her nose is now leak-free, and she is very happy with her new look. When reached for comment, Missy’s best friend Piper Kay Pressly had this to say, "New nose. See. New nose Missy!"
