This adorable puppy is a real-life cyclops - after being born with one eye.<br /><br />The mutant mutt - nicknamed Kevin after the Minions cartoon character - was in a litter of two in Chachoengsao, central Thailand.<br /><br />Two days after its birth on Sunday (February 2), the pooch is now fit and healthy - while being bottle-fed every day.<br /><br />Footage shows the newborn puppy enjoying the company of its mother, Khainui, brother Mah, owner Somjai Phummaman, 45, and his wife Amphan, 49, at their home.<br /><br />The abnormal puppy has only one eye in the middle of its head and a mouth with big lips that resemble those on a monkey. <br /><br />He was moving his head around curiously while wiggling his tail.<br /><br />Owner Somjai, a government worker, said he was getting dressed when he noticed his pet Aspin dog sitting on his bedroom having given birth to two puppies.<br /><br />He put them in a basket to keep warm then noticed the fascinating mutation<br /><br />Somjai said residents who visited the home pointed out the puppy's likeness to the cartoon character from the popular animated film.<br /><br />He said: "We are wishing that the puppy survives, even though it has a deformity. We want to keep him as a pet until he grows up.<br /><br />''Everybody has been amazed by him and saying that it is a lucky sign. People said that he looks like the yellow cartoon character with one eye, so we can nickname him after that.''<br /><br />Somjai's daughter, Parn, said all the family were delighted to have a newborn puppy with the physical abnormality. <br /><br />It is still not clear if the puppy's single eye will function properly as it typically takes around two months for a dog's sight to develop fully.<br /><br />She said: "We have taken good care of the puppy so far. He cannot be breastfed the proper way, so we have to hand feed him with the milk bottle."<br /><br />After the news was spread across the village, other neighbours came to Somjai's house to see the lucky puppy, using the day he was born for their lottery numbers.<br /><br />Somjai added there were many friends asking him to give them the pup, but he wants to keep him.<br /><br />He said: "The puppy and mother dog Khainui are both healthy so our family will raise them by ourselves."
