what's the cause of all these? Don't tell me it's the dog?

My rescue bun Bernie was found in downtown hopping around. He must had been fighting w/ some other animals. There is a small hole that puncture thru a bit of his nose. Clearly a bite wound from some other animal's teeth. To this date, this hole is still here. It never sealed itself, but his diet is excellent.

So if there were some permanent marking left, don't get discourage, as long as they return to full proper diet
