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,

Is an entry for the I Spy book of unidentifiable things?

😂😂

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.

Oh please...did you really think my intentions in posting this were completely serious?

I've been pulling your leg a bit, I admit.. MNetters😂I had a miserably long uni essay last night to finish late & I sensed MN could come to the rescue- this thread is gold...so funny! Esp the poster who suggested poor Rover was smoking drugs. But they're all great.

Seriously tho, I took the photo & posted also bc I did want to know what breed it was. It's true that I'd never seen a muzzled dog which resembled a XL Bully. I used to go to school every day along a route where dogs would often jump up at me, & though in theory I love them, in practice I am quite nervous. The XL Bully era scared the hell out of me, & I always thanked my lucky stars I'd never seen one in an area near me.

Too blurry to tell but the shape is wrong for a bulldog of any sort - it has no waist, and all bulldogs do.

Balloonhearts · 01/03/2025 15:14

That could be the Loch Ness monster for all we know in that pic.

Dancingatthepinkponyclub · 01/03/2025 15:15

What?! It this a joke!
How the hell is anyone going to distinguish WTF that is!

I think you posted it seriously then realised how embarrassing it was and now are back tracking!

AcquadiP · 01/03/2025 15:21

It's impossible to say from that blurry photo. I'm no fab of the breed but if was an XL Bully, it's tied up, muzzled and minding its own business. What's the issue?

CherryRipe1 · 01/03/2025 15:23

This is a wind-up

Shessweetbutapsycho · 01/03/2025 15:30

If you want people to comment on a photo, it’s best not to attach one you’ve taken with a potato…

Oh come on...you guys don't want to admit that you were the ones fooled! This thread I perfect tho...it should be in Classics.

You do know dogs can be muzzled for many reasons not just XLs
My collie had a spell
muzzled when she was young as she ate everything she came across on a walk.
You sound a bit hysterical

I don’t think anyone was fooled though? All people have done is take the piss at how stupid the whole thing was, it’s hardly a proud Gotcha moment. 😂

SnoopysHoose · 01/03/2025 15:45

Love the backtracking: it's a joke
No it wasn't, you're pearl clutching at a muzzled dog in your naice area

ThePoshUns · 01/03/2025 15:48

Oh right. Lol. 🤔

Eh? I post designed to fool others only works if people were fooled? People have spent the whole thread taking the piss!

And any poster who declares their own thread so hilarious it should be in classics really doesn't know how threads end up in classics

HelenWheels · 01/03/2025 15:54

but why does it matter if it had a muzzle?

Butchyrestingface · 01/03/2025 16:13

Dear Lord, I haven't seen blur like that since Glasto 2009. 😂

It could be a highland cow for all you can see in that photo.

MrsSkylerWhite · 01/03/2025 16:16

Are t they usually want or brindle? Could be anything from that photo.

MrsSkylerWhite · 01/03/2025 16:16

Posted too soon. Should have read:

Aren’t they usually sandy or brindle?

QuestionableMouse · 01/03/2025 16:18

I think it's a cryptid like Bigfoot... The pics of them are aways blurry too.

So are you saying you were trolling?

Coconutter24 · 01/03/2025 16:59

InterIgnis · 01/03/2025 04:19

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

Well this pic looks like a rat peaking through some blinds 🙈😂

Well it's certainly cheered plenty of people up!

Some were fooled, saying they didn't know how I could survive in life. 😂 Cucy & Snakes, eg. But yes, I think most posters sussed it was a bit mischievous.

Seriously tho, I knew the photo was bad. I took it as the lady paused for a moment, I was quick as in a moment Fido would've been gone.
