My dog gets clowned on a lot because of her eyes

Lady has bulging (not a medical issue) eyes that more often than not are a little wonky. I act like I don't care, but it's really starting to annoy me when my friends and family make fun of her - particularly when one called her ugly the other day. I know Lady doesn't understand what they are saying, and I find her beautiful - maybe it's silly to get offended on her behalf but I can't help it. To me she's the cutest dog ever and I wish my friends would stop poking fun at her so much.
