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,

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.

Fucking love a capybara

You can't be too careful. At least it's muzzled. I saw this yesterday. Terrifying! I reported it, obviously.

Scary stuff! I hope you were't attacked/injured by that beast's delicious fluffiness? 😅

Sleepinggreyhounds · 01/03/2025 08:31

It’s got nine legs. Surely that should make it eaay to identify?

For hevens sake @Loubylie don't be silly , it's not lord lucan , it's Shergar ! 😁

@AliasGrace47
Of course it's impossible for anyone to tell what kind of dog that is .
But if it had a muzzle on then the owner is been responsible.

As pp have said it may be that the dog eats rubbish / food / fox poo .
It may also be nervous and bite out of fear or it could be a aggressive xbully so they are obeying the law by keeping on a lead and muzzled

I was out walking around Loch Ness today, and captured this. I know the picture is blurry, but it looks like an XL Bully to me - what do people think? Is there an XL Bully living in Loch Ness??

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

DarkDarkNight · 01/03/2025 08:06

Looks more like a Cane Corso type dog than an XL bully. XL Bully would be more short and squat.

Apollo365 · 01/03/2025 08:03

Best thread 🤣

Why is it a shock to see a muzzled dog? A muzzle doesn’t equal aggression and it shows the owner is being responsible for whatever reason it’s needed.

Ah you are right, otters legs are short though (much like my own now I think of it 😁)

It prefers ‘big-boned.’

Yes. Let's not fat-shame a dog 😂

MrsPerfect12 · 01/03/2025 07:53

That was fun, away to now look at the wildlife page for more giggles. 🤭

GreenWheat · 01/03/2025 07:51

I think it might be a small hippo wearing white wellies. That said, it's unusual to see those wearing a muzzle so maybe it's a chubby pony 🤷‍♀️

Damn, @NewmummyJ beat me to it!!

NewmummyJ · 01/03/2025 07:46

I can't identify the breed but I can identify that it has eaten all the pies. Someone get this animal some MJ stat.

CompleteOvaryAction · 01/03/2025 07:42

I think that as a matter of urgency all out-of-focus dogs should be euthanised. You can't be too careful, and there's no knowing when they might turn.

LittleGreenDragons · 01/03/2025 07:42

Can't tell its breed from your photo but it does look chubby rather than muscular so I am assuming it's muzzled because it won't stop eating rubbish off the floor.

Agree with pp, what are you wanting from this thread? Even sweet natured and friendly labs can be muzzled if they are snafflers.

brettsalanger · 01/03/2025 07:39

What an incredible thread !

Brahumbug · 01/03/2025 07:39

It's clearly Shergar! 😁

pictoosh · 01/03/2025 07:39

Did you take that photo from the car as you drove past?
Tells us nothing.
I am intrigued as to your point though. Why take the picture?

Wishimaywishimight · 01/03/2025 07:36

Bungalowknees · 01/03/2025 07:36

Could it be one of these? They are almost impossible to keep under control although this person is doing ok 😀

I wish! The legs, tail & face were not at all Lab-like. Possibly not XL Bully but def somewhat similar.
I wouldn't be complaining if I saw a dog like this!

I do not like XL's, but why are you complaining and what do you think you have to complain about? If it was an XL and muzzled then the owner is abiding by the law.
