Went shopping today & saw this muzzled dog opposite. Gave me a shock as I v rarely see muzzled dogs in my area & never ones that resemble XL Bullies. I know the pic is blurred,

Priceless OP, just the thing to cheer us all up 😂😂😂

Is anyone else getting adverts for 'The Path To Success ' on this thread? Even HQ are taking the piss.

IkeaJesusChrist · 01/03/2025 10:49

That's such a useless photo, why even bother posting it?

HauntedBungalow · 01/03/2025 10:47

Well this is a very fine portrait of Sealy McSealFace.

You should enter it for the Pulitzer Prize OP.

Maybe OP took a really good photo but the dog was super fast? The flash in dog form?

genius thread - some of comments are absolutely brilliant, thank you all!

it is another ‘how the fuck do some people manage to exist in day to day life’ thread tho

😂😂

I genuinely don’t understand how people cope in their day to day life!

I still can’t comprehend why OP took a photo and took the time to start a thread on MN.
I don’t understand the reason or what she wanted from it.

zingally · 01/03/2025 10:36

You sat and looked at that drive-by awful photo and thought, "Must share that with the folk on MN immediately?!"

Looks like an overweight black lab from here.

But even if it is an XL bully, they're not banned, and if the dog was muzzled, then the owner is doing everything they're legally required to do. I'm not seeing the issue.

Sorry OP, I've seen some shit posts on here before, but this one pretty much comes first place.

Panama2 · 01/03/2025 10:24

It's a shetland pony with a head collar on

Apollo365 · 01/03/2025 10:23

I’ve checked back to the pic again just for another giggle

Even if that dog is an XL Bully, what's your problem and why have you taken a (rubbish) photo of him/her? 🤔

The owner is clearly complying with the law by ensuring that their dog is wearing a muzzle.

Cucy · 01/03/2025 10:16

What a ridiculous attitude.

What area do you live in where they don’t have muzzled dogs?

You must live in an area where responsible owners are rare.

The only reason you don’t see dogs with muzzles on very often is because if they’re distressed then they’re usually taken out at quiet times or they’re walked without a muzzle but kept away from other dogs.

If it’s an XL bully then it’s the law.

I’m not sure what your complaint is.

You’ve seen a dog that has a responsible owner, regardless of what breed it is or reason for the muzzle.

Why did you start the thread?

Turmerictolly · 01/03/2025 10:14

🤣

Miaowzabella · 01/03/2025 10:05

Don't be daft, it's obviously Shergar. Or possibly his ghost.

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 01/03/2025 10:05

Gosh, I think I've just seen one too! 😱

Looks like a chocolate lab, notorious for being overweight

thehorsesareallidiots · 01/03/2025 09:52

Someone managed to get a muzzle on Moo Deng?

LaineyCee · 01/03/2025 09:52

Are you Brooklyn Beckham? You have a similar photographic style.

Even if the dog is an XL Bully, they are muzzled, as they’re legally required to be in public.

Your fear seems to be about the muzzle. This is a common reaction, but it’s a real shame as the fear that the dog will be judged for not wearing a muzzle is one of the reasons they’re not more common.

In other countries, all dogs must wear muzzles on public transport. I think it would be great if we made the effort to normalise their use here. A dog in a muzzle doesn’t mean the dog is aggressive anymore than a cyclist must be lacking in proficiency because they’re wearing a helmet. It’s just a sensible precaution.

Baconking · 01/03/2025 09:51

So what if it was? It had a muzzle on, as is the legal requirement for being out in public

InWithThePlums · 01/03/2025 09:50

Classic Mumsnet Grin

Busyquaver1 · 01/03/2025 09:47

Even if its a xl bully what's your point in the post??? Its muzzled not running loose. Did you just get a but excited about seeing one or something?

mimbleandlittlemy · 01/03/2025 08:31

I think it's a capybara, isn't it? They're pretty chonky and XL capybaras are known to be armed/legged and dangerous. Big snouts though so top marks to owner for getting the muzzle on.

Capybaras are like giant guinea-pigs doing an impersonation of David Walliams .
No danger unless you leave your Massive Salad unattended .

It’s also not clear as to whether it’s taxidermied and/or smoking a blunt.

From the zoom in all I can see is this face (which is also my reaction to OP)
