Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Nayla is stinkin' cute!! From your picture, Nala is not crossed eyed. Based on her breed (shih tzu or a mix of one) strabismus (or slight malposition or misalignment of the eye ball) is normal. This does not affect their vision at all! I hope this helps!
